We all love keeping up with the current trends and buying as many clothes as we can afford but now we have the problem of purchasing while not destroying the environment. Believe it or not, clothes can be made sustainably at an affordable cost. Here are some brands to look at right now who are thinking of the earth and their consumer needs at the same time.
One favorite is Girlfriend Collective because not only are their clothes made out of repurposed water bottles and fishnets but, their prices are lower than Lululemon. They even sell a microfiber filter to put on your washing machine to take out microplastics from your fabrics before they end up polluting the ocean. Every cute staple piece they offer is made from recycled materials and they are completely transparent about how it is made. Girlfriend Collective is inclusive to all bodies as well and makes everyone feel like a girl boss in their sustainable clothes.
How great would it be to buy recycled clothing and plant 1 tree at the same time? That is exactly what Happy Earth is all about, except they plant 15 trees with each purchase. They have the coolest oversized graphic tees for just $28. Their clothing is made from 100% organic cotton. As consumers, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions everytime we buy a cute hoodie or top from Happy Earth.
A sustainable brand known for their classic tees is Alternative Apparel. They have a variety of product categories in both men’s and women’s apparel. They have some really cute printed tees that look super comfy for only $34. Along with trendy puffer jackets, joggers, and accessories. Alternative Apparel prides themselves on using low-impact dyes, organic cotton, and recycled polyester. They focus on conserving water with every wash and are a part of the Fashion Revolution. Oh, and don’t miss out on their student discount for 20% off!
Boden is a brand that not only focuses on sustainable clothing but long lasting clothing. They have a 365 day quality guarantee for all of their products. Boden has a wide variety of clothing for men and women of all ages but my favorite is their swimwear collection. Their Santorini Swimsuit is only $54 and is offered in so many beautiful prints. They have a capsule collection of swimwear made all from recycled nylon. This nylon is taken from oceans and processed to be regenerated into Econyl fabric. Even the packaging they use is made from recycled materials.
Researching the brands we buy from is very important when it comes to saving the earth. These brands are just a few among the many that are providing us the looks we want while being more mindful about the environment.
