Story
Cheap fashion has fundamentally changed the way most Americans dress. Stores ranging from discounters like Target to fast fashion chains like H&M now offer the newest trends at unprecedentedly low prices. Retailers are producing clothes at enormous volumes in order to drive prices down and profits up, and they've turned clothing into a disposable good.

Publisher's Summary
From journalist, fashionista, and clothing resale expert Elizabeth L. Cline, “the Michael Pollan of fashion”*, comes the definitive guide to building an ethical, sustainable wardrobe you'll love.
Clothing is one of the most personal expressions of who we are. In her landmark investigation Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, Elizabeth L. Cline first revealed fast fashion’s hidden toll on the environment, garment workers, and even our own satisfaction with our clothes. The Conscious Closet shows exactly what we can do about it.
Whether your goal is to build an effortless capsule wardrobe, keep up with trends without harming the environment, buy better quality, seek out ethical brands, or all of the above, The Conscious Closet is packed with the vital tools you need. Elizabeth delves into fresh research on fashion’s impacts and shows how we can leverage our everyday fashion choices to change the world through style. Inspired by her own revelatory journey getting off the fast-fashion treadmill, Elizabeth shares exactly how to build a more ethical wardrobe, starting with a mindful closet clean-out and donating, swapping, or selling the clothes you don't love to make way for the closet of your dreams.
The Conscious Closet is not just a style guide. It is a call to action to transform one of the most polluting industries on earth - fashion - into a force for good. Listeners will learn where our clothes are made and how they’re made, before connecting to a global and impassioned community of stylish fashion revolutionaries. In The Conscious Closet, Elizabeth shows us how we can start to truly love and understand our clothes again - without sacrificing the environment, our morals, or our style in the process.

Great listen for anyone who wears clothes!
I loved this book. I would say that I had a higher than average knowledge about fast fashion before listening to the book and there was so much more that I learned from this book. I ended up purging my closet half way through the book and I'm working on my capsule wardrobe now. 💜

Equally Encouraging and Enlightening!
This book has been, and I believe will continue to be a remarkable tool to come back to on my fashion journey. I have shown interest to the ethical and environmental side of fashion for some time now and this gave loads of insight too areas I could have overlooked!
I highly recommend this book if you are looking to learn about benefits for yourself and your closet, and/or benefits to the world around you when it comes to our closets!

Love this book, changed my perspective on fashion
Loved this book, Elizabeth L Cline is an excellent author. Definitely get this book if interested in fashion and environmentally conscious shopping habits.
The only issue I have is that I'm not sure an audiobook is the best method for this book since there are images although they are included in the accompanying document - not practical if you're listening while driving for example.
