What if back-to-school was the right time to consume better?

New habits, new rhythms... what if you took advantage of the start of the school year to rethink your consumption habits? The goal: to be more responsible, more sustainable, more aligned.

Back to school, this mini “new year”

Every September, it's the same feeling: a fresh start, new notebooks, new desires. A kind of gentle shift between letting go of summer and returning to routine. It's back to school. It's also a time for reflection, sorting, and refocusing.

What if this energy was the perfect time to adopt more responsible habits, particularly in the way we dress?

Summer overflow, autumn sorting

Vacations are often an opportunity for impulse purchases: little dresses on sale, beach t-shirts, swimsuits bought at the last minute. By the time we get back, many of these pieces pile up, rarely worn, and not very durable.

Instead of buying yet another batch of clothes to “get back to work”, why not create a capsule wardrobe , with quality, durable, repairable essentials, designed to last?

At Cygnes, we focus on less but better

This is the idea behind every Cygnes product: to create pieces designed to last and adapt to your lifestyle. Durable tights , invisible boyshorts , clothes that really go with you.

Three simple resolutions for a responsible return to school

  1. Sort and repair rather than replace: Take stock of your clothes: what can you mend, wash, wear differently?

    Our tights, designed to last, limit waste and help you break the cycle of repeat purchases.

  2. Buy pieces that last: Focus on solid basics: 50D black tights, second-skin boyshorts, a well-cut skirt. Investing in pieces that last means saving money... and breathing space.

  3. Join circular programs: At Cygnes, we offer the Concygnes program : return your used tights, they will be recycled or reused. A simple, yet powerful gesture.

Consuming responsibly means respecting yourself

No need to revolutionize everything. Here are some simple actions to implement week after week:

  • Monday : Choose an outfit made up entirely of pieces you've had for over a year.

  • Wednesday : Hand wash your tights to extend their lifespan

  • Friday : Take a shopping break. You might already have had enough.

  • Sunday : prepare 3 outfits in advance with your sustainable basics (tights, boyshorts, flowing dress)

Little by little, these gestures will settle in and become natural. And you will see: you will feel lighter, clearer, freer.

How to create a responsible fashion routine for back to school?

It's not just a trend. It's a way of paying attention. A way of saying: I deserve better. My body deserves better. So does my planet.

What if this back-to-school season, instead of checking off a list of “new purchases,” we simply checked off: feeling good in what I wear. For real.

tights pulled world

Fall for your Swans product now!

Tights are much more than an accessory. They are the evolving synthesis of what we are willing to show, hide, and assert. They accompany women in their personal, intimate, and social journeys.

At Cygnes , we want to make it a companion of freedom, an object of confidence and beauty, at the service of those who walk, dance, campaign, rise up — in a skirt, in shorts, in a suit… or without anything at all.
