In this world of fashion, short-lived trends come and go, but the one thing that remains constant is the power of neutrals. Not only do they serve as the foundation of a versatile wardrobe, but when selected thoughtfully, these pieces can also support a more sustainable lifestyle.
At Reistor, we prioritize creating timeless, eco-friendly essentials like tops, shirts, pants, skirts, and jumpsuits in neutral shades that blend effortlessly into your everyday life.
Our focus on sustainability goes beyond the materials we use – it extends to how we design pieces that are made to last, versatile enough to be styled in multiple ways, and easy to layer and pair with existing items in your closet.
Why Build a Sustainable Wardrobe?
Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, in 1896, made a very important observation - “80% of the time, people wear only 20% of their clothing.” In other words, a huge part of our closet is full of items that we wear only sometimes while a small portion contains pieces that we wear time and again.
As per the Pareto Principle, it is only fair to focus more on filling up our closet with timeless, classic, everyday essentials for regular use, like neutral basics and solids, instead of focusing on trendy fashion-forward pieces that we might wear only occasionally.
Before we delve into the specifics of neutral basics, it's important to understand why building a sustainable wardrobe matters. As an eco-friendly fashion brand that rests upon ethical practices, we only use fabrics like 100% hemp, Tencel™, Bemberg™, and 100% organic cotton – all of which are gentle on the environment and kind to your skin.
When you build a wardrobe with sustainability and practicality in mind, you invest in high-quality fabrics, timeless designs, and classic pieces that last, reducing the need to frequently replace clothing and, therefore, minimizing waste.
The Power of Neutrals in a Sustainable Wardrobe
Colors like beige, black, white, and off-white are your go-to options if your intention is to build a wardrobe that lasts. If you want to add a bit of color, go for olive green, or soft shades of blue and pink from our collection. These are not only timeless but also incredibly versatile.
Neutrals transcend trends, meaning you can wear them year after year without worrying about them going out of style. These solid essentials suit all types of events - dressing up for work, a casual hangout, or a more formal occasion, neutral basics provide the perfect foundation to build your personal style upon and create endless looks from.
Our in-house styling and design team has consciously put together these neutral pieces, since these colors are the cornerstone of any sustainable wardrobe. Our collection of tops, shirts, pants, skirts, and jumpsuits are designed with these classic hues in mind, allowing you to create multiple combinations for all occasions with minimal effort.
