Tiny Wardrobes, Big Impact: 5 Easy Eco Swaps for Kids’ Clothes

Hey eco-fam!

Today is World Nature Conservation Day (28 July)—and it’s the perfect reminder that even the smallest choices in our kids’ wardrobes can make a big, beautiful impact.

As the founder of All Things Dylan—and mum to my wild-hearted six-year-old, Dylan—I’ve made it my mission to help families dress consciously and creatively. Because sustainable fashion for kids shouldn’t be boring, beige, or break after three wears. It should spark joy, inspire imagination, and survive every playdate, puddle-jump, and spaghetti spill.

I launched All Things Dylan after a fruitless search for kidswear that was kind to the planet and full of personality. Spoiler alert: it does exist—and I’ve curated the best of it for you. Every piece we carry is bold, ethically made, and ready for adventure.

So to celebrate World Nature Conservation Day, here are five fun and fearless ways to build a more planet-friendly wardrobe for your little explorer:

1. Choose unisex styles.
Neutral tees and trousers aren’t just versatile—they’re pass-down gold. Siblings, friends, cousins... share away. Less waste. More mix-and-match fun.

2. Buy better, not more.
Think: GOTS-certified organic cotton that lasts wash after wash (after muddy park session). We love Rivet Apparel’s “Love Your Mother” and “Nature Rocks” tees for everyday eco power.

3. Go for clever fabrics.
Our fave? Recycled polyester swimwear like Holly & Beau’s colour-changing trunks—made from plastic bottles and pure kid-magic.

4. Host a clothes swap.
Gather your crew, clear out those “too small” piles, and trade treasures. It’s sustainable, social, and surprisingly satisfying.

5. Mend, donate, repeat.
Ripped knees? Time to learn patch power. And when it’s time to part ways, donate gently loved pieces to extend their story.

These small shifts have made a huge difference in our family’s day-to-day—and they’re helping Dylan grow up understanding that fashion can be both fun and thoughtful.

Here’s to our tiny trailblazers—and to raising kids who love the planet as fiercely as they love muddy puddles.

Happy World Nature Conservation Day, you brilliant eco warriors!

With love and green vibes,
