Sustainable, fun and "sexy" designers/brands?

Hello, as a 19 year old girl who is dating around and going out a lot I never see a lot of options for sustainable designers. It is very easy to get mislead by vague paragraphs about brands sustainability and ethics, especially as someone who has unfortunately not been as knowledgeable on this topic previously. I recently bought a 300 dollar dress only to find out from a friend that while the materials are good, the brand uses sweatshops in 3rd world countries for cheap and hard labour which I find cruel.

I have always thought that "luxury" brands would actually take care of their workers based on the price they charge the customers, but I find that to be naive and stupid of me and I hope to do my part in humanity and minimise the impact of my consumption choices on the exploitation of workers. I plan to be more mindful and support brands that are transparent about their labor practices and prioritize fair treatment of their employees.

So if you could drop any recommendations of brands or boutiques (in store around the tri-state area only please) where you know for a fact the workers are compensated fairly well it would be much appreciated, as most of the ones I have seen so far are very classy and professional clothing and not what I am looking for. Your help will be much appreciated, take care. <3

I got owned in a debate about fur! Was it a mistake to be so anti fur when synthetic alternatives have such downsides?

I had posted on changemyview about fur, and I got roasted because of all the microplastics that end up in water because of synthetic clothing. The gist was that natural fibers are better, even if animals die, because animals die from environmental damage too.

What Are Brands Doing to Create Sustainable Supply Chains?

I think we all know that the fashion industry alone is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions.

My cousin is in the 2nd year of his environmental degree. He’s been sharing some eye-opening insights with me about the role supply chains play in carbon emissions.

Did you know that the transportation of goods, production processes, and energy consumption in the supply chain is one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gasses?

Yeah, the cheap clothes we wear - all of this has wreaked havoc on our planet.

Every time I talk to him, I become more and more aware about the interconnectedness of our daily consumption with the larger issue of climate change.

Brands like Shein and H&M, and so many others are the leading culprits. I wonder what small brands do to mitigate such issues.
If you work in the e-commerce sector,can you share If your company trying to decarbonize their supply chains with sustainable actions?

Your efforts can inspire others to adopt eco-friendly measures and make a meaningful difference in combating climate change.

Milkmaid/corset back casual dress

Hey! I'm really interested in getting one of those "milkmaid" style dresses that have been very in lately lmao honestly they just look like the perfect farmers market dress. I like the idea of a corset back becauseI'm very small chested and a lot of things don't fit me just right. I've found things with adjustment capabilities work very well for me. All of the brands in seeing with styles I like though are fast fashion. I feel like this is kind of a classic style and could easily be made out of natural fibers. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, but I would be willing to splurge for the perfect item. Does anyone have suggestions?

Does cotton+elastane denim really lasts less?

In this video, around the 11m00s mark, the fashion expert says that elastane breaks during washing, which in turn makes the piece clothing to last less.

However, I could not find any source for this on the Internet. In fact, every website/post I've seem mentions elastane as positive addition to cotton/denim because it actually makes the clothing last longer.

Now I'm confused, is elastane good or bad for durability? Pretty much anything has elastane nowadays, I hope it's not a lifespan shortener for clothing.

I am sustainable before i am fashionable

I get tons of compliments on my style and people often look to me for fashion guidance, but the thing is im not really good at fashion.

To elaborate, i felt like i didnt truly find my "style" until i became more sustainable. I thrifted, upcycled, and made my own clothes from scratch. In this pursuit of sustainability, its how my personality began to shine through into clothes i actually love.

My hobby is compiling sustainable/ethical fashion designers or sellers that have clothes i enjoy. I limit myself to buying no more than one brand new piece of clothing a month. Its about the love for the labor before anything else

What Moment Made You Choose a sustaainable Lifestyle?

I started caring about sustainability after witnessing the severe pollution at a local beach near my home, a moment that really opened my eyes to the importance of greener practices and how some people still neglect that fact. Seeing that firsthand made me wonder about other people's journeys towards sustainability.

What got you into living sustainably? Was it a moment of realization or a gradual shift towards eco-friendly choices? Maybe it was something negative, like seeing deforestation or polluted waters, that made you change your ways? Hearing personal stories like yours would be inspiring and will offer fresh perspectives on why sustainability matters. So, what's your unique story? What experiences or reasons pushed you to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle?

Is buying from small local brands is more sustainable than from fast fashion/bigger fashion brands?

Hi folks👋 being thinking recently about this dilemma. As far as I see it, small brands, which maybe may not be 100% sustainable in all their business decisions, are less harmful for the environment since they produce in less quantity, tend to be make more quality items, use less resources, produce locally, hire local workers contributing to the local communities. But what do you think about it? Are there any researches diving deep into this? Thanks a lot

Hey all! I am starting a handmade sustainable fashion brand by using thrifted textiles (duvets, curtains, table cloths) and transforming them one-of-a-kind pieces like light coats, vests, detachable collars, kimonos and tote bags.

I’m passionate about slow fashion and want to offer unique and sustainable alternatives to fast fashion. But I need your help!

Trusted online thrift stores with quality-based items?

Hey guys! Anyone else super into thrifting?

Whenever I get tired of the same old clothes but at the same time don’t want to drop a fortune or harm the planet with fast fashion, I go thrifting.

The issue is sometimes I can only see items made by unsustainable materials or practices- which is again not good for environment- that's why i was trying to search for online store where I get the quality I deserve while spending within my budget and also doing something good for the planet with secondhand stores that also have ethically made, low-impact items.

Have been suggested to explore threadup, poshmark etc, but not convinced by the quality of items sold out.

In a series of events, we were totally caught confused streaming through endless piles of trends that came up in the fashion world. 

Found this article to be somewhat organized. 

Would appreciate feedback from people who are into the industry? Have you really seen something like that in your mainstream?

should we appreciate small efforts of brands?

Lately, I've been really focused on finding and evaluating brands that are genuinely committed to sustainability. struck a question- Do you know of any brand that truly maintains its sustainability promise across all its products? Patagonia, for example,(only example) seems to do a great job in between— using sustainable materials, and use renewable energy, for almost products they offer.

But I've noticed that many brands claim to be ethical and sustainable, yet this often applies to only certain product lines, while the rest are made in the conventional way. So, should we ignore those conventional products and only support the ones that are made ethically made on need based?

I want to make sure I'm making the right choices without being biased.
Thanks in advance!

Subset

Anyone here have any issues with Subset underwear getting holes after only a few uses? Pretty disappointing since they’re pretty expensive. I’ve bought like 8 pairs from them so far and I really like them but I’m now hesitant to keep buying more. Anyone have any other recommendations for underwear? Would like them to last years and not weeks lol.

Ethical clothing brand in Albania

Are there any ethical and sustainable clothing brands in Albania? I mostly try to buy second hand clothes to avoid fast fashion but I was wandering if there are any ethical alternatives for formal clothing for weddings etc.

What is the better alternative?

I have a lot of synthetic clothing, and I feel guilty wearing them.

I could buy "new to me" clothing made from natural fibers, or I could keep the synthetic clothing I have and wear them out.

One leaches out microplastics in the laundry, but lowers the ecological footprint of each garment. The other does not leach out microplastics, but gives my clothes a bigger environmental footprint.

What do I do? I will keep the natural fiber clothing I do have, and I will try to wear those out, but I am not sure what to do with my synthetic clothing.

Used clothes as sustainable alternatives?

I'm trying to get into sustainable Fashion and while I was trying out some research paper this article came up

So, who all are into sustainable fashion- Did you think of it?

I can't imagine having a second-hand cloth on my body, and advocate about Sustainability.

Am I reasonable?

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.
