We asked #AerieREAL Role Model and Sustainability Activist, Manuela Barón, to share her tips on taking care of your clothes and being kinder to the environment while you’re at it. Comment below if you have more tips to add!

When you love what you own, you’ll be more motivated to take better care of it and keep it for as long as you can. Before you buy something, ask yourself: do I love this?

Always put bras and bralettes in a delicates bag if you wash them in your washing machine, and clasp hooks to make sure they don’t snag on anything else. For extra TLC, hand wash them! You’ll use less water, and your bras and bralettes will last longer.

Don’t worry about washing tops, bottoms or dresses after every wear them. If it doesn’t stink, don’t wash it yet!

Read fabric care labels and follow the instructions for washing. Your clothes will last longer if you wash and dry them the right way.
