YouSwim bathing suit care/sunscreen

I just bought a YouSwim suit in the Stretch II size (I’m glad I didn’t do it when they only had one size) and I love it! I have yet to wear it out, and was planning on taking it on an upcoming beach vacation.

I know the care for it is intense and I’m not looking forward to that aspect..I’m mostly concerned that it said not to get sunscreen on it? Like you can’t wear it in pools or hot tubs, only freshwater, but no sunscreen? I’m going to be wearing sunscreen..so does anyone have any experience or recommendations?

Women's shelf bra cami reccos- does anyone like Pact?

I got my bf some underwear from Pact for christmas and he loves them. I'm on the hunt for some shelf bra camisoles for every day wear in the summer and I see that Pact has them. I'm also considering a cotton bodysuit for summer but it's unclear to me if their bodysuit has a shelf bra in it. I have big-ish boobs I'm a 36D so I need a bit of support but I'm fine with freeing the nipple. I like that they use organic cotton as the main fabric and that they use a fair trade factory.

Has anyone bought these and liked them?

I'm also curious about sizing... according to their sizing calculator app I'm a large, and I normally wear a large, however a few months ago I purchased a jumpsuit from them in a large and it was way to big for me (I have a short torso).

Does anyone have any other brands or companies that they would reccomend? Preferably organic cotton, bamboo, or hemp and spandex blend, preferably canadian. TIA :)

Waterproof sneakers

I am going on a trip in a little over a month to a rainy/wet climate and I am looking for a pair of tennis shoes that are waterproof. Looking for something timeless that I can keep wearing after the trip is over that aren't super plain/boring. I've had my eye on something waterproof (not just water resistant) to add to my rotation and have had trouble finding something "cute" that is fully waterproof and has decent ethics around the company. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

What's Your Top Priority for a Sustainable Lifestyle?

Hey, guys! Can’t believe we’re almost halfway through 2024. I was wondering, are there any major sustainability goals/priorities that you had at the start of this year or may be a few years ago? How are those goals holding up?

Like for you it might be something else like trying to reduce plastic use or supporting ethical brands. My goal for the year was to swap my entire grooming and shower routine products. with sustainable products and locally-sourced brands. I was doing really well until April, when I got really busy and couldn’t plan my purchases carefully.

how you’re all doing or dealing? Could you please share your experiences with sustainable priorities you've set and have been following for years without any problems? If there are any issues, do share them too.

Sustinability in Fashion - Hot Takes Only

Hi reddit,

Bringing this one back! A while ago, I created a post asking for your sustainable fashion hot takes and we had some really good thoughts and opinions! In spirit of keeping them coming:

I'm currently responsible for our company's social media content and wanted to compile a few hot takes about sustainable fashion and your overall stance on sustainability in fashion.

Please share them in the comments below, anything that falls into this category goes. Green-washing, fast-fashion and sustainability, sustainability in luxury fashion, second-hand shopping... We've had some amazing input from people who make clothes themselves, and we're interested in everyone's and anyone's opinion on this!

Go wild, be respectful, discuss if you wish, I'm just really curious to see what people that are into fashion think! :)

Thought experiment: how does a consumer get data to evaluate and compare two brands (like Ralph Lauren vs Tommy Hilfiger) for sustainability overall, and by category (like water use, carbon emissions,etc.)

So I’m a layperson, and I’m wondering how a consumer can make any kind of accurate assessment (that’s not just presumption or wishful thinking) about a brand’s manufacturing practices, or compare two or more brands by how well they do on a series of category assessments?

Where do we get data? Once we get it (if we get it,) how would you properly model and analyze it the way a scientist would to avoid drawing improper conclusions? Can we learn the terminology corporations use to model data?

Have any of you ever thrifted home furniture art decor or clothes online? I recently attended an art exhibition where the topic of using refurbished and second-hand items came up. I hadn’t considered it before, but it turns out you can beautifully furnish your home with pre-loved items while reducing waste and saving money.

Now, I’m eager to explore this market for myself. I’d love to hear about your experiences with finding refurbished and second-hand products online since they're hard to come by near my hometown.

Building a Career in Ethical Fashion/Responsible Business

Hi! I want to break into the sustainable fashion sector. My background is varied. I have worked on/off in retail and hospitality, worked on freelance projects, traveled and now work in communications at an ecommerce company. My entire twenties I have been unsure of what career to pick/dealt with mental health related issues hence the random jobs and travelling in between.

I hold a strong sense of justice and find myself really drawn to help create impact in the supply chains of fast fashion in the Fashion Industry.

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

My question is; how do I make the transition from zero experience in the field, to landing a job within said industry? Do you have any experience making a similar transition? I'd love to hear your story or recommendations.

How Much is Too Much for High-End Sustainable products?

Came across a very interesting research that consumers are willing to pay on average 9.7% more for green brands and sustainable services (PwC).

This led me to think: Would you ever pay a premium for sustainable products? I have in the past. I surely do prefer sustainable products over its cheap alternatives for everyday products too.

But I’d be lying if I said that the cost can sometimes be a significant barrier to adopting a sustainable lifestyle.

So, I’m curious, how much of a premium are you willing to pay for high-end sustainable products? Whether it’s for luxury fashion, innovative tech, or something else, what factors make you feel the higher price is justified? Is it the exceptional quality, the brand's strong commitment to sustainability, or perhaps the unique features of the product?

Also, have you ever found a high-end sustainable product that was worth the extra cost, or did you regret paying a premium product for a product that didn’t live up to its promise of “durability”?

Ethical luxury in budget?

Okay, so I’m ditching fast fashion for good. I love my current wardrobe, handbag, and beauty products, and other accessories but I'm consciously shifting towards more sustainable and affordable luxury options. While I'm open to investing in high-quality pieces, mindful consumption is key. My priorities lie in a brand's commitment to sustainability, design aesthetic, material quality, craftsmanship, and ethical manufacturing. It's okay to pay a bit more for sustainable and well-made items, (but I don't wanna break the bank either.). especially since high-end luxury brands can be super expensive.

Are you someone who prioritizes similar values when shopping? Then I’m sure you would have some experiences and thoughts to share, It would be helpful to know about general habits on these decisions like What ethical luxury brands have impressed you? Here, knowing what price range others find comfortable for these types of purchases can be really helpful. would be fantastic, if you have any tips on finding the best ones without going overboard! Seriously, trying to be mindful here, not just fill my closet with a bunch of stuff.

Your regular green gems?

Hey, guys! I've been on a sustainability journey lately and wanted to share a recent change we made at home. We decided to swap out our regular soap and shampoos with a sustainable, locally sourced brand, and let me tell you, it's been perfect!

However, I believe there's significant potential for sustainability in fields beyond fashion and beauty. That's why I've made a habit of seeking sustainable options for every purchase I need to make. Sometimes I'm fortunate enough to find small, ethical practices that perform well, while other times I get misled by false claims. Nevertheless, I strive to remain conscious most of the time.

Why don't you buy second-hand sunglasses?

I'm working on a project that supports sustainable shopping by recommending/curating second-hand sunglasses from eBay based on your facial features. The aim is to make it easier to buy second-hand sunglasses as it's much more environmentally friendly to purchase something pre-owned rather than new.

I initially thought that one of the main challenges stopping people buying second-hand sunglasses was finding sunglasses that suit you from the limited and constantly changing selection on eBay. To tackle this challenge I trained an AI which recommends the best matches for your face from the current eBay listings.

However, it seems that I might be wrong, so I'd like to ask for your opinions. What stops you from buying second-hand sunglasses?

can quality and affordability coexist? exploring natural fabric brands

I have to tell you about my recent experience with getting into good-quality clothes, especially with my new interest in sustainable fabrics. I've been hearing the hype about linen, and with sustainability on everyone's minds nowadays, I thought, why not give it a shot?

First off, I checked out some big-name brands, but man, their stuff felt like it was straight out of my grandpa's wardrobe, haha.

But then, I stumbled upon a lesser-known brand, linenluna.com. Their pieces had that classic yet cool, oversized vibe that I'm all about.

I bought a pair of their linen pants, and I'm pretty impressed. The fabric is pure bliss, and the quality is next level. No wonder people swear by investing in 100% natural clothes.

I'm interested to hear about more brands that sell good quality clothes made from natural fabrics and don't cost thousands.

we made a free tool to find any clothing item secondhand to spend less and reduce your carbon footprint ♻️ [class project]

Hi guys! My friend and I were frustrated by the high prices of mid-to-high-end fashion brands online.

So we created a tool called Encore for our class that links the best second-hand and cheaper alternatives for your favorite clothing items 🍃

If you are interested in trying it out, just make an account and start searching here - https://www.chat.shopencore.ai

It's similar to having a personal fashion assistant - type what you're looking for, chat with it, and it searches through hundreds of resale/secondhand sites (like Grailed, Thredup, Vinted, Ebay, etc.) to find the best deals and reccomendations for your needs

Our project aims to lessen the fashion industry's carbon footprint, which accounts for 3-8% of global CO2 emission. Thank you!

Please inform me about the best brands that sell sustainable plus size fashion! (Preferably shipping from Europe, but tbh, anything is interesting.)

What to do with old clothes?

I lost about 65 lbs. During my weight loss journey, I tailored my old clothes down to fit me and bought very few new clothes. I am proud to say, I got an extra 3 years of wearability from them.

I can no longer tailor them down any more, so I had to buy a bunch of "new to me" clothing.

I don't have an issue donating my old clothes, but I doubt most of them will be worn/used. Is there anything I can use the old fabric for? I sew...

Perhaps making a quilted dress or skirt, from old fabric scraps, or making a table cloth, a quilted patchwork Christmas tree skirt or something?

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.

Question about sustainability online

Is social media a positive with regards to sustainable fashion? On one hand, people are able to group together and further the movement. On the other hand, social media has proven to be toxic and harmful in the fashion industry. Is it too far gone or can niche online groups make actual change in the sustainability movement?

Questions for a class I’m taking!
