Supporting sustainable fashion brands is critical: These companies prioritize ethical and eco-friendly practices so our clothes harm the planet less. In this post, we’ll introduce you to five sustainable fashion brands we encourage you to support if you’re going to shop.
Everlane emphasizes transparency and ethical production, offering customers complete information regarding all costs associated with each item it sells, from materials to labor and transportation. Everlane also prioritizes sustainable materials, such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Tencel lyocell. It also promotes ethical labor practices by only partnering with factories that meet its high standards for fair wages and working conditions. We particularly love the 100% Human Collection, which supports organizations like the ACLU, and the ReNew Collection featuring items made from recycled plastic bottles.
Pact is another brand specializing in sustainable and organic basics crafted for long-term wear rather than fast fashion. Its products are made with 100% organic cotton grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The company also prioritizes fair labor practices by working with factories that guarantee fair wages and safe working conditions.
Reformation marries sustainability and on-trend fashion. It responsibly sources its materials, including Tencel lyocell, recycled polyester, and deadstock fabrics from other designers/manufacturers that would otherwise go to waste. The brand is known for its feminine dresses, versatile jumpsuits, and sophisticated blouses that make a statement at casual brunch or formal weddings. Plus, its sizes range from 0-24, so anyone can find styles they love!
Patagonia has long been recognized for its dedication to sustainability, utilizing eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, and traceable down. Along with its commitment to sustainability, the brand is known for high-performance outdoor clothing products designed for all sorts of adventures, including hiking, skiing, and rock climbing. Some of our favorite Patagonia products are durable yet stylish backpacks, cozy fleece jackets, and high-performance base layers.
Girlfriend Collective is a sustainable brand that uses recycled polyester and nylon in its products. This company creates comfortable yet stylish leggings, sports bras, and other forms of activewear in inclusive sizes from XXS to 6XL. We love the compressive leggings made from recycled plastic bottles and seamless bras made from recycled fishing nets.
