By Sheryl Bolden

Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes but constantly feel like you have nothing to wear? Are you lured by a sale but buy because the price is right instead of the style? Are you guilty of throwing clothes ‘away’ without knowing where they really go? Would you love to consume more consciously but don’t know where to start?

If you’ve answered yes to at least one of these questions, then this is the book for you.

Hong Kong-based retail professional and sustainable fashion advocate Sheryl Bolden demystifies sustainability within the fashion industry and offers a unique insight into how clothes are bought, worn and discarded. The book’s informal chatty tone is relatable, and the pages are packed with tips, tricks and advice on becoming a stylish, savvy and conscious consumer.

Split into three sections that can be read in any order, the book covers everything from shopping and editing your own wardrobe, to exploring innovative new materials and the future of fashion, to simply understanding how fast fashion exploded and changed the industry forever. Punctuated with inspiring and witty quotes and illustrations, this book is perfect for those who strive to curate a wardrobe that reflects their values as well as their style.

About the author

For over twenty years Sheryl Bolden has worked across many areas of the fashion industry. Having held Buying, Sourcing and Product Development roles in the UK and Asia for some of the world’s leading retailers and small independent brands, she understands first-hand what goes into making the clothes we wear.

In 2013 Sheryl founded a Hong Kong based wardrobe editing service, and has worked with many women, some of whom were frustrated and disillusioned by clothes shopping and the fashion industry in general, to bring practical solutions to their sartorial problems.

Becoming a parent changed her perspective on the industry, she became increasing concerned about the negative impact of fashion and her focus shifted towards working with those who want to create solutions. She has advocated for and worked with NGOs and charities that work to reduce fashions’ negative impact. In 2020, Sheryl graduated from Hong Kong University with an Executive Certificate in Corporate Social Responsibility.

For more than a decade she has organised numerous charity ‘Frock Swaps’ and more recently has written for various online publications and her own website www.makemywardrobework.com on the topics of sustainable consumption and wardrobe editing.
