Did you know that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions? So, how can we be fashionable, stylish, and sustainable at the same time?
On the Call Her Stylish blog, I try to focus on sustainable fashion as much as possible, but I often feel that we lack information about which fashion brands are trustworthy in this sense. We all want to know more about the sustainability and ethical impacts of fashion, but first, we need a clear definition of what that means.
Sustainable fashion is an approach to designing, producing, and consuming clothing that prioritizes environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The goal is to create a more responsible fashion industry that minimizes its negative impact on the planet, treats workers fairly, and promotes long-term economic health. The key principles of sustainable fashion include using eco-friendly materials, adhering to ethical labor practices, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting a circular economy.
In today’s post, I’ve gathered five eco-friendly fashion brands that offer good-quality, affordable options, making them a better choice for shopping.
1. Reformation
You’ve probably already heard about this brand, as they have a long list of celebrity fans. Reformation gained popularity when celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Selena Gomez started wearing their clothes. This brand of sustainable It-Girls is certified carbon neutral, a Bluesign system partner, and a Fur Free Alliance retailer. Their matching sets are amazing, and they have the cutest dresses for every occasion.
2. Everlane
Everlane offers products at prices comparable to fast fashion brands, so there’s no excuse not to check them out. This is one reason they stand out in the market—their unmatched pricing. The brand is best known for work and weekend clothes, but they offer a wide range of options in terms of color, size, and fit.
3. La relaxed
This brand is known for using organic cotton and eco-friendly materials in all of their products. Their clothes are high-quality basics that are locally produced. The best pieces to shop for are basic tees and tank tops, but they offer a wide range of clothing to explore. They’re super affordable and a great choice to elevate your basics in a sustainable way.
4. Warp + Weft
This brand is best known for their eco-friendly jeans, which use only 10 gallons of water to produce, compared to the usual 1,500 gallons that fast fashion brands use. Warp + Weft employs a special water recycling and dyeing method that significantly reduces their emissions. To top it off, their jeans come in several cute fits, including plus sizes. The brand is certified by the Better Cotton Initiative for using recycled cotton.
5. Organic Basics
This brand is changing the way we think about clothing by using eco-friendly materials and helping the earth. They make their clothes in a clean and green way, using renewable energy, and minimizing water and chemical use. Organic Basics is also mindful about how they treat their workers, which adds value knowing that the people who made your clothes are treated well. Their materials are incredibly soft, and their clothing is long-lasting—customers love the brand.
