Sustainable fashion tips for everyone
As the world starts to make an effort to heal itself from mankind’s constant and ongoing destruction, recycling has become the norm. And though fast fashion is on the rise, the best ways for fashion brands to reduce their environmental impact is by using sustainable materials.
Sustainable products are things that come from renewable resources and which don’t cause damage to the environment when being produced or disposed off.
We all need to put in a collective effort by
o Shopping vintage- and second-hand items, not because we cannot afford a brand new fast fashion item but because we want to lower our impact on the environment. Also, second-hand often has unique and rare fashion items which you will cherish. Just look in the streets of Accra and you will see water hawkers dressed like celebrities
o Choosing organic clothing which are made from natural and degradable materials which have less impact on the environment. Garments made from organic cotton have become mainstream in the fashion industry. The cotton needs to be produced without the use of synthetic agrochemicals. And there is organic linen as well, a great luxurious option.

Palazzos
Today’s fashion is being led by social media influencers, media personalities and celebrities who decide what is cool enough to become a trend.
Palazzo, very wide pants/trousers, create an either casual look for the summer, official without a deconstructed look to make it seem like a travel pants. Unlike other trousers, palazzo pants are highly comfortable, making them suitable to wear on all occasions with spacious and roomier comfort for the wearers.
Palazzo pants are popular trousers also called Patanda in India. Palazzo is an Italian word which means Palatial building. Right! I guess you are now trying to find a similarity between palatial building and patanda.

Today’s bizarre fashion
Taking you back to the dawn of time where fashion was exquisitely modest and decent, only certain jewels and style represented and. differentiated amongst the classes. But in today’s fashion world,
there’s no difference between the royal and the slave, or the priestess and the prostitute.
In the 1900s, most men wore suits, and everyone wore a hat in public. The jazz age flapper of the 1920s got rid of all those restrictions in order to have fun. Fashion has incredibly morphed through different eras of time to this day.Fashion in the 20th century went from strict corseted dresses to the anything goes attitude of today. Here are some bizarre fashion trends of the 21st century that make you wonder “what were they thinking ! ?”

Men’s shirts.!
The current men’s shirt has a long history of generational transformation before getting to its present boring form in the 19th century.
Between the 16th and 18th century, men’s shirts often had a lace at the neck and cuffs, embroidery, and long neck frills or jabots were fashionable, until coloured shirts appeared in the early 19th century.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SILK!
Growing up as teenagers silk was thought to be an elite lustrous textile, smooth, soft and slippery on the skin, giving an exciting feel. And we were right.
Silk is the strongest natural animal origin textile in the world. It is a natural protein fiber, also known as fibroin, which an insect larva secretes to make cocoons.
Mulberry silk is amongst the most refined and highest quality silks in the world and makes up about 90% of the world's silks. Originating from China, the Bombyx Mori moths are fed exclusively on mulberry tree leaves and create the cocoons.
For those interested in buying the highest quality mulberry silk products, it is easy to sort out the quality from the quantity by taking note of the Momme of silk. Momme is the measure of density of silk. So, if your garment contains one Momme of silk, then expect to find 4.340 grams of silk per square meter of the fabric.

How to breach a scandalous fashion.!
Today, in fashion, nudity appears normalized. But lots of it is not authentic, it is just nude. Rather, stockings and high heels, leather, lace, silk, velour, hats and fascinators are still fashion’s most wanted exotic pieces.
I like to delve into combinations of these pieces to create a perfectly imperfect masterpiece in my world of imagination.
What you wear can boost your mood for the day by 70%, and smelling good does so too. Just because stockings are presumed sexual doesn’t mean we cannot wear them on a regular basis.
So let’s spice up the work mood with a bit of stockings underneath that skirt or petite dress, with 3-4 inches high heels to pair them, and tell me how you feel. Not forgetting my gentlemen, do put on a suit and a tie with a great cologne or fragrance and tell me how you felt for the day.

It's raining !
This is certainly not a good time to host events, unless you seek to drench your invitees. And next year around this time it will be exactly the same, it will be raining.
Most businesses are in slow motion, with the exception of rain protective services, like transport companies (Bolt, Uber, Yango etc) who skyrocket
their fares to absurd amounts. The same companies claiming to help us are ripping us of in broad ash grey light, with no regulator in sight to complain to. And the trotros? Most have hardly any brakes and you can see the wet street between your feet, and their drivers seem to have less knowledge about the traffic rules than my nephew of 6 (he goes to a private school), so all in all rather unsafe. Umbrellas, raincoats and other waterproofs now fetch 70% premium, due to high demand, the salesman claims, whilst begging me to buy a Ching Chang China umbrella.
