WAYWT Sustainable Edition

The workweek has started. Show off your sustainable Monday fit.

Share a bit about why your fit is sustainable.

This is a judgment-free zone. We all know sustainability in fashion is nuanced and complicated, so don't sweat it. For example, your polyester shirt may not be "eco-friendly" but if you've had it a long time, wear it a lot, and plan to keep it a long time then it's about as sustainable as you can get simply by how your wear it.

Let's celebrate the different approaches people and brands take to address our common goal.

What I’ve learned sourcing readymade apparel sustainably from India over the past few years

I started working more closely with manufacturers in India, mostly because I kept hearing that the ecosystem was changing fast. I wasn’t expecting much at first. I thought “sustainable sourcing” automatically meant high MOQ, high cost, and long lead times.

But the reality on the ground surprised me. The biggest change I noticed was accessibility. Recycled cotton blends, Tencel fabrics, and organic knits were no longer “special order only.” Small to mid-sized brands the kind with very modest volumes, were actually getting taken seriously when they came with clear specs and a proper tech pack.

It’s not perfect everywhere, but the progress is real. For instance, many online sourcing platforms take care of the end-to-end sourcing process. Sharing this because I know a lot of independent founders assume India is too complicated or too pricey to consider.

My experience has been the opposite: when the brief is clear, India can be one of the more approachable places to build a responsible supply chain. Would love to hear if anyone else has had similar (or very different) experiences working in the region.

Sustainable Activewear Brands available on Amazon?

Are there any sustainable activewear or fashion brands that are available on Amazon?

While I prefer to buy directly from brands, my older relatives find it easier to purchase gifts from my Amazon wishlist.

Which is better, real fur or faux fur?

I'm just curious what people think about that in a sustainable fashion sub. I used to be really into the anti fur cause.

Help me! I want to buy shoes but I have enough pairs I KNOW I DO. But I always need “ one more”

Lately I’ve been trying to consume less, this mindset is new to me. I’ve officially made a vision board with sustainability photos, basic outfits like a white shirt and jeans etc. I’m really really trying! Especially now that I have a son, I want to set an example of why it’s important and beneficial to be mindful with spending, buying, consuming.

However I fall into the cycle of wanting to buy new shoes or clothes because “ I need one to complete my closet and I’ll be good” but I’ve found myself doing this several times now. I DO shop good quality things, so they last longer. Eg. Merrell shoes for work cos I would want them to last awhile + be comfy. Expensive but I am certain the quality will last me years.

But honestly, how do I stop this. I’ve deleted social media to stop this cycle and find myself back on this track. I also WANT TO SAVE MONEY! Please help me with how you shift your perception or build a mindset. I’m new to this and this whole thing is humbling me so much.
