Each year, the four seasonal changes are the perfect excuse to renew or add pieces to the old-fashioned wardrobe, except for countries near the equator. These practices contribute to \u201cthrowaway\u201d culture, involving accelerated garment production, use of cheap labor, and high volumes of textile waste. Therefore, it\u2019s essential to extend the useful life of both existing and new garments as much as possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The useful life of the garments is determined from the moment of purchase, whether they are part of a passing trend or are poor-quality garments. In other words, to get the most out of them, you need to make smart, well-considered purchases. For example, choosing garments that fit personal style, not just trends, with durable and good quality materials. Therefore, we present five Latin brands with base garments for different lifestyles, made with good materials and sustainable principles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Base garments for the cold that are not black<\/b><\/p>\n Firstly, there is <\/span>SISA<\/span><\/a>, a Chilean women's clothing brand that is characterized by its colorful pieces and high-quality materials, such as alpaca. SISA offers garments for different occasions and climates. But it\u2019s their cardigans, coats, turtleneck sweaters, and alpaca trousers that truly stand out \u2014 perfect for those seeking the ideal blend of uniqueness and timelessness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Basics in which comfort prevails\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n For those who require basic garments that offer comfort and well-being, the ideal brand is <\/span>Org\u00e2nica Moda Regenerativa<\/span><\/a>, a Brazilian brand with designs for large sizes that uses biodegradable raw materials. Among its bestsellers are wide-legged pants made of organic cotton, as well as versatile blouses and t-shirts to create comfortable outfits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Denim and jeans are a must-have<\/b><\/p>\n Thirdly, the recommended brand is <\/span>La Vestidura<\/span><\/a>, with functional garments and a youthful air. A Uruguayan brand that promotes a more responsible way of dressing. Among its key pieces are those made from ecological and recycled denim, which reduces water consumption in its production by 75%.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the Caribbean to the world, one garment at a time<\/b><\/p>\n Although several of the garments of the previous brands are useful in hot climates, linen is the ideal material for intense heat due to its thermoregulatory properties. One Colombian brand that works with this fiber is<\/span> Ephedra<\/span><\/a>, which creates timeless clothing on a smaller scale, with unique details that add character to each piece.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Basic garments for everyone<\/b><\/p>\n
