Where do I buy Business (casual) clothing that align with my beliefs?

I have to buy business appropriate clothing for my new job. I have no experience in shopping for this type of fashion.

What is important note is theat I live a life defined by minimalism and boycotting fast fashion as much as I can. I haven't even bought a new thing to buy in a year.

Does anyone know stores that ethically aren't horrible at the very least and have a nice/affordable business line? When I say affordable, I don't mean I'm not ready to spend a bit more, however my budget is definitly not unlimited.

Also here is a pinterest board with the type of style I am going for: https://www.pinterest.de/mrydky/business-as-usual/

I live in Germany, so stores here would be great, but online stores are also welcome.

Thanks in advance <3

Where to get high-quality classy simple long sleeves (EU)?

Hi! I am looking for high-quality fashion with simple, timeless design. I found a long-sleeve top at H&M that I really like the look of (see photos), but I'd rather get something like that of higher quality than H&M. Preferably sustainably sourced & fair. I'm based in the EU! Thanks in advance for your help :)

What are the grounds for Fair & Ethical Fashion?

As of now I see Fair & ethical fashion pushing the boundaries of traditional fashion. Essentially these brands put a higher focus on issues that have been left unaccountable.

Issues such as:

- working conditions

- fair pay

- fair trade

- eco-friendly manufacturing

- Eco-friendly material

- Promoting a sustainable lifecycle

Do agree with this? If so, what else is there to being a fair & ethical brand?

Also, do you consider fair & ethical fashion the same as sustainable fashion?

Building a Career in Sustainable Fashion (non-design)

I want to break into the sustainable fashion sector. I have a background in nonprofits (5 yrs), working in PR, project management, partnerships, advocacy, and communications with a BA in anthropology. I'm interested in applying these skills to work in responsible fashion.

I'm also considering Corporate Social Responsibility/Environmental Social Governance work in other industries to gain experience in sustainability and responsible business more generally.

Do you have any experience making a similar transition? I'd love to hear your story or recommendations. To be clear, I do not live in a major fashion hub or have experience in the garment industry. Currently in Pittsburgh, moving to Houston.

How long a pair of men's trunk should last?

I've started to try buying long lasting clothes to make less impact on the environment, anyway to get to the point I've bought some trunks from a brand that claim to have quality stuff, these trunks cost a lot i was going to buying more but I've read on Google that underwear should be replaced every 6 months, is that true? Cause where is the point to spend like 70$ for 6 pair of trunk (Danish endurance)where i can spend $10 and will last the same? Until now i was buying cheap underwear and indeed after 7/8 months is time to replace cause won't stand up but i thought the cause was cheap quality.

Ps: sorry for the grammar.

[SF PROJECT] Does the origin of your clothing affect your buying decision? | Asia irrelevant

Hi All,

Do you care where your products are from?

I understand the majority of people in this subreddit will say yes, but I mean in more retrospect to country to country & state to state. Asia is far way and known for "unethical" production methods, so thats an obvious out.

If you lived in New York would it still be consider it okay and "sustainable" to buy crewnecks made in the UK? California? India?

Where or how do you draw the line on distance?

Personally, I only buy clothing grown/made/designed in the US with the state origin irrelevant. If I lived in the EU, I assume I'd feel the same way and only buy from Made in EU brands.

The Made In Britain Subreddit Needs Posts From/About Sustainable UK Companies

I've recently taken over the dead sub, r/MadeinBritain and I'm trying to rekindle it as the home of UK manufacturing, with an emphasis on sustainably produced items.

The UK has a strong history of unions and workers rights; by default things made here will be by someone on legally protected minimum wage (at the very least) who gets paid holidays and paid maternity/paternity leave. The country also has comprehensive laws against environmental pollution and many smaller companies try to be as eco-friendly as possible.

If you live in the UK or Europe, there are few things less sustainable than buying products from the other side of the world, so come and help me get this sub off the ground.

THE SUSTAINABLE APP SWAPABEE

The app Swapabee!

Hi! Swapabee is a sustainable app that is founded in the UK and is expanding to the US. This app lets you trade unwanted items for other items. It is a change to reduce the amount of waste in landfills. This way we can work to declutter the environment and maintain activity where people are able to gain things for free. The importance of this app is up to the users to bring to light and work to change the environment and the people. These tradeoffs don't cost money if what you are trading is something that is not of use to you. The app has a variety of categories ranging from games and consoles, technology (phones, laptops, tablets), books, clothes, home and kitchen appliances, and the list goes on. Just about anything!

How does the app work?

Well let’s say for example I have an Xbox 360 console that I don’t utilize anymore. I’ll upload it on the app and set an amount the Xbox 360 is worth at. In this case it's worth $100 and will be provided with 20 games I have for the console. I can then search up other electronics that might interest me. By contacting the user you then will be able to come into an agreement and trade off. The business is done by you, as we provide the platform for communication. Just remember that one person's junk can become another person's treasure.

Swapbee has had an increase in users by 300% during Covid-19. This showcases the strive for a change and Swapabee is proud to continue expanding and gain more users. It was also awarded as the Most Sustainable App of 2019. Check it out and get started today!

Swapabee catch phrase is DON'T DROP IT, JUST SWAP IT!

[[HELP A BROTHER OUT]] How do I verify legit sustainable & ethical brands?

Hi all,

Today is Friday & I'm writing a paper on how to ensure brands are legitimately leading a sustainable business. I understand that no one company or brand can be 100% sustainable, but brands can commit to indicate programs, initiatives and actions aimed at the preservation of the environment and future good. Identifying and verifying how brands attempt to achieve sustainability is the name of the game.

For the first half of my paper I'm breaking down how to identify sustainable brands and to do that, I've zoomed my focus in on the three footprints that play major roles in every brand's commitment to sustainability. I've done my best to accurately breakdown each footprint.

Please indulge me on your thoughts, take backs, what I missed, suggestions, etc.!

  • Environmental Footprint
    • Sustainable Materials
      • Natural/organic fabric, Upcycled/vintage fabrics, eco-friendly synthetic fabirc, vegan,
    • Ethical Production and Manufacturing Methods
      • Free of toxic pesticides, synthetic chemicals & herbicides
      • Minimizing the amount of water produced
      • Locally sourced - Made in USA
  • Social Footprint 
    • Fair Wages & Fair treatment of employees
    • Company values & morals including
    • Emphasis on diversity & creating an environment free of any forms of discrimination
    • Promoting sustainable/eco-friendly initiatives on their website
  • Economic Footprint 
    • Sustainable Certifications and Standards
      • i.e. Global Organic Textile Standard
    • Gives-back programs
    • Contributing to a circular economy, or closed-loop cycle

The second and third sections of my paper are going to focus on:

2.) Strong Indicators of a legit Sustainable & ethical brands

3.) Indicators of greenwashing and unfaithful brands

  • What key factors did I miss out?
  • Do I need to move some things around?
  • What are direct indicators of "greenwashing" and unfaithful brands?
  • What is the future of sustainability in fashion?

P.s. I love you & stay safe

I'm a (sustainable) jewelry designer and I'm trying to decide whether or not to participate in a digital trade show in the Spring. Are buyers going to these? Anyone have experiences you can share?

Sustainablr Gift Guide That Supports Small Businesses

Quick Little Ethical Gift Guide for anyone still searching for the perfect holiday gifts.

I am in a unique position because I consult with so many brands, both large and small I feel like I constantly get access to everything conscious made so have an upper hand when it comes to curating unique listicles.

This year I wanted to make sure to focus on the small brands, most of them on the list you have probably never heard of. But I can promise you this, their quality and designs are just as good, if not better than the brands we tend to see on all the other sustainable fashion gift guide round-ups (Refroatmion, Everlane... boring).

The list is done, but would love comments for next year too!

New website to rate your favourite fashion brands

Hi there!

As someone who has worked in the fashion industry and been an avid consumer of fashion products for a number of years, I've been surprised that there is no review site or comparison of people's opinions on fashion brands. I've also become more aware of ethical fashion and the importance of buying from the right brand.

Over the last 6 months I've built Labelled.co, a review platform for fashion. Consumers and suppliers can rate the brands that they buy from or work with, giving consumers a better view on which brands deserve their hard earned money. I think Labelled also helps small and startup brands to become noticed so if you have any friends starting their own brand please refer them to the site and they can start inviting their customers to leave reviews, this will help them to get noticed.

I'm open to receiving feedback on the site and also would love it if you could review a couple of your favourite brands. Your opinions do matter, they can make a small brand more noticeable as I mention above or you can warn others about negative shopping experiences.

Thanks everyone!

A free mobile app that helps people get into a sustainable lifestyle. We are looking for people who would be up for spreading the word about the app.

More about the app: Ailuna has week-long challenges and useful hacks to build new daily habits with impact to help you and the planet. The app is officially launching in a month or 2, so now we are looking for people who would be up for sharing this app with their friends or fans. Let me know if you would consider this and if you would like to test the app - I will send you the link :))

Asking for your opinion on a new sustainable fashion app

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a lovely day so far!

I'm Maud, and I'm almost graduating from my school to become a UX/UI designer. I'm here again because I'm asking for another round of help. As my project progressed over the past weeks, I need some people who are willing to give feedback on some ideas I came up with for an app that increases clothing swaps between (groups of) people.

It would help me a lot if you could fill in my short survey. The survey can be found here: https://mauddeboer.typeform.com/to/z7niXqOc

Thanks in advance 😻

Lirika Matoshi's Rainbow (Polyester) Satin Top - How unsustainable is it?

Lirika Matoshi is the designer known for the viral Strawberry Dress. She has other items in her webstore, including this Rainbow Satin Top. Polyester isn't biodegradable because it's plastic. But I'm also wondering what other characteristics of this top make it unsustainable. For instance, what about the dye? The dye looks really light, but a lot of colors were used. I'm not sure if even a light dye like this would still contribute to a lot of water pollution. 🤔

I made an upcycled version of the trending 90's popcorn shirt (with the 3d shibori technique). This technique works on any synthetic textiles.Can't say it is the most varied work but the result is definitely fun and worth it in my opinion.A great project for bored lockdown people or cold days.

Vintage clothing bulk/lot clearout

Hi friends, please let me know if this isn't allowed. I figured I would share here in the spirit of circular fashion and keeping clothes out of donation centers.

I am doing my yearly clear-out of vintage stock and had a great experience offering bulk lots here last time. I have more clothing than I am able to list, and am selling in lots of various sizes.

What I Have: 1950s-2000s clothing (lingerie, dresses, jeans, tops, sweaters, jackets, scarves, hats,, accessories, etc).

How it Works:

  1. DM me if you are interested and I will give you my Email address (keeps things organized better than DM).

  2. In the EMAIL

    1. Tell me your budget (indicate if that is including shipping or not).
    2. Include some examples of things you would ideally like to get (90s jeans, graphic tees, lingerie, etc). If you want, include a link to your shop so I can get an idea of your style.
      1. ***If you are open to a totally random box, tell me. I promise it is all good stuff!
    3. Tell me your zip code (to calculate shipping based on weight/region)
  3. I will respond asap and let you know if I have the stuff you are looking for. Please understand that folks with a higher budget will have priority, as I am looking to unload in as few shipments as possible.

***INFO***

  • Minimum order is $50+shipping, paid through paypal invoice (or we can arrange another payment method if you prefer). I will consider lower budgets after I get through the higher ones.
  • I will do my absolute best to include things you have expressed interest in, and will tell you if I do not have any of the things you want. I will send you a photo of your lot before I invoice you, if you want. However, I am not able to send a bunch of individual photos/details for your approval, as this would be too time consuming. (unless you have a very high budget, then I will work with you).
  • I have been selling online for 5+ years, and have excellent reviews on depop and etsy (username Slimewarp). I only send lots that I personally would enjoy receiving. Last time I did this, every person was super happy with their lots, and a few people ordered a second round!

Please let me know if you have any questions, and DM me to get started!!

-Hannah

How to get over the negative stigma of thrifting...

to be completely honest, i was raised with the stigma that thrift stores were just dead people’s clothes, or that it’s for clothes for the less fortunate. while it is partially true, i am now older and have learned so much more. im trying hard to be sustainable however, when i try to thrift i 1) can’t get over the idea that i may be taking away from someone who really depend on thrifting & 2) if i can spend this money at the thrift stores, maybe I’d be better off just buying it new

I’m not entirely sure if I’m making sense but 😅

Youtube channel sharing my journey to start a sustainable fashion brand?

Hi! I'm working on launching a new sustainable fashion brand for petite women called "Lovanie" next Spring. I'm currently considering starting a personal Youtube channel to document my journey (ups/downs) in starting my own fashion brand and share lessons learned along the way. As a complete newbie, I don't find a lot of content from people at the very beginning of their journey (that I can commiserate with) so I thought I'd share my perspectives.

Does this YT channel idea sound interesting to you? Thanks!

What is your opinion on the Mission Brand Alliance?

I heard about the Mission Brand Alliance today for the first time through a direct mailer. According to their advertising materials, they are a “group of companies dedicated to a greater good” who “fight for environmental and social justice through [their] missions.”

I am a bit of a skeptical person so I am wary of the green washing that many corporate brands engage in. However, there are some brands involved that I do really respect, like Patagonia and Rumpl, and many of the companies have an element of sustainability and environmental responsibility baked in.

So my question is this: Do these generally seem like companies that you would support? Or is this just a pre-holiday advertising push from some meh brands?
