One of the most obvious ways we’re switching to a slower pace of life is through our purchasing power.

We’re increasingly looking to shop with brands that align with our values and have an eye on protecting the planet. For Jada, a capsule wardrobe is a great place to start.

“Before I got into the fashion industry I never bought much, but I loved staple pieces,” she explains.

“That’s something I’m trying to channel again. I look for quality over quantity, good pieces that will last. If I find a good quality pair of trousers that aren’t quite right, I’ll get them tailored to fit my body. There’s nothing better than a piece that sparks joy and makes you feel good.”

With beauty, Jada is slimming down her collection to products that she loves and is going to stick with, appreciating brands that are clear about their sustainability credentials.

“Nobody’s perfect, but I’m learning and making slow, steady changes,” she says.

One brand heading in the right direction is Armani with My Way Floral.

This zesty, woody scent favours consciously sourced ingredients, like Egyptian orange blossom, hand-picked Indian tuberose and vanilla sourced through a responsible, sustainable program that supports local communities in Madagascar.

The bottle is also refillable to save on glass, metal and plastic, with refills sold in a cellophane-free box.
