Abstract

The fashion industry is facing a pivotal transformation shaped by digital innovation and sustainability demands. Digitally mediated wardrobes, including AI-powered outfit planners, virtual wardrobe platforms, and AR/VR fitting tools, are redefining how consumers interact with clothing. By promoting mindful consumption, rewearing, and optimized apparel use, these technologies reduce waste and encourage circular practices. This chapter explores the intersection of technology, consumer behavior, and sustainability, analyzing their impact on consumption patterns, infrastructure, and environmental outcomes. Ethical issues of data privacy, inclusivity, and digital access are critically examined. Drawing from academic research, case studies, and sustainability reports, the chapter argues that digital wardrobes are not only reshaping the fashion ecosystem but also creating pathways for systemic change. Positioned at the crossroads of culture, policy, and technology, they offer a viable route toward a more sustainable and circular fashion model.
