Today, we are exploring the idea of "choosing hard" for better style habits. We compare cheap dopamine—like the quick pleasure from shopping and social media—with expensive dopamine, which comes from more effortful sources. We emphasize the value of shopping our own closets, tackling problem pieces, and putting effort into outfit creation. We also discuss the benefits of a dopamine detox to reset our pleasure levels. Our tips focus on practicing moderation and making thoughtful style choices.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:49 Choosing Hard: Developing Good Style Habits09:57 The Pitfalls of Cheap Dopamine17:47 The Benefits of a Dopamine Detox22:03 Practicing Moderation in Style Choices26:00 The Long-Term Rewards of Choosing Hard32:12 Conclusion-----------------CONTACT US: sustainthispodcast@gmail.comJOIN OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SustainThisPodcast SIGNE HANSENYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UseLess_dkWebsite: https://www.uselesswardrobe.dk/IG: https://www.instagram.com/useless_dk/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@useless_wardrobeCHRISTINA MYCHASYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristinamychasWebsite: https://www.minimalist-ish.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/christina.mychas/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@christina.mychasALYSSA BELTEMPOYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlyssaBeltempoWebsite: https://msbeltempo.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/msbeltempo/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@msbeltempo If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag us!

In this episode, we talk about why slow fashion brands struggle and often close down. Consumers usually go for price over sustainability, which makes it hard for ethical brands to compete with fast fashion. We discuss how advertising and social media drive our constant need for new clothes, and the allure of 'cheap dopamine'—a quick thrill that's addictive but unsustainable. We delve into how our personal mindset and actions are crucial to support slow fashion — it's about buying consciously, aligning purchases with our values, and pushing brands to prioritize sustainability. We also cover recycling challenges and the shared responsibility between individuals and systems.Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Slow Fashion Recession01:28 Challenges Faced by Slow Fashion Brands06:36 The Need to Decouple Consumption from Fashion08:30 The Role of Advertising and Social Media11:56 The Addictive Nature of Cheap Dopamine16:10 Shifting Mindset and Consumer Behavior23:03 Delaying Purchases: The Power of Saving Up24:12 Brands and Sustainability: Operating from a Slow Fashion Mindset29:26 Government Intervention: Holding Brands Accountable32:58 The Complexity of Recycling and Carbon Footprints33:54 Individual Responsibility and Systemic ChangesMentionsBOF article: https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/sustainability/whats-behind-the-slow-fashion-recession “Stå af ræset” (Danish podcast about slow living): https://www.dr.dk/lyd/p1/staa-af-raeset-5624728801000 -----------------CONTACT US: sustainthispodcast@gmail.comJOIN OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SustainThisPodcast SIGNE HANSENYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UseLess_dkWebsite: https://www.uselesswardrobe.dk/IG: https://www.instagram.com/useless_dk/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@useless_wardrobeCHRISTINA MYCHASYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristinamychasWebsite: https://www.minimalist-ish.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/christina.mychas/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@christina.mychasALYSSA BELTEMPOYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlyssaBeltempoWebsite: https://msbeltempo.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/msbeltempo/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@msbeltempo If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag us!
