Hello! I'm not comfortable buying pyjamas/loungewear second hand, but I really need some new comfy pyjamas as I haven't bought any since I stopped going to Primark, H&M and the likes five years ago.
Any recommendations for brands? I'm looking for things that are comfy but also slightly cute and original. I'd love a hoodie with ears, for example, or some nerdy pyjama sets, but does that exist outside of fast fashion?
I know this may be a long shot but I’m having trouble finding car seat covers that aren’t made from synthetic materials. I don’t want faux leather or polyester/nylon/etc endocrine disrupting seat covers. Understand they need to stretch so it won’t be 100% but 80%, 70%, hey even 50%. I drive a 2017 Honda Accord. Please if you know of a site or brand let me know!
Looking for the 30$ off Nuuly code to use today if anyone has!?

In case if anyone wishes to purchase Christy Dawn for first time, feel free to use my code. Happy shopping! 💕
I spent 3 weeks in Delhi on a work trip and spent most of my free time learning about fabrics (a few exhibitions), looking at shops ect. Here are a few things I took away that impressed me. Obviously caveated that this based on my experience and is limited.
1) people care so much more about fabric and craftsmanship. People were buying clothes based on the fabric, weave, hand craft technique and region it was made in. I contrast to where I live in the Uk and material seems to Come second to design. The pride in fabric was so inspiring to me! There were a few government exhibitions dedicated to regional fabric crafts.
2) everyone I met had a relationship with a tailor. It is very common to buy material and have what you want made. Nearly all saris come with unstiched blouses. This is much better for sustainability. It is also common to leave a few inches for outfits to be let out in future.
3) lots of Indian designers make clothes to order and allow you to customise to your measurements. This takes a bit longer but I was so pleasantly surprised! I would love for this to be more common at home. I had a gorgeous dress made from silk and it fits beautifully and is going to last me many years.
Obviously the most sustainable option is not to buy anything else but buying a few good quality items, making them last and really loving them is great to see.
I did notice that middle class Indians don’t seem to do much vintage/second hand shopping. I love Vinted and charity shops in the UK but Indian colleagues didn’t think they had anything similar.
I’ve been trying to cut down on overconsumption the past few years — rewearing more, fixing things, and buying better instead of more.
But at the same time, I really enjoy fashion. I follow trends, get inspired by street style, and love discovering new pieces.
Curious how others approach this balance — especially in a world that moves fast and always seems to push the next “must-have.” Any personal rules or mindset shifts that have helped?
all the natural bras I’ve seen are sort of daggy/not pretty. I’m 25 and want to wear something cute, functional, with sustainable and natural fibres, ideally 100% but a little bit of elastic is okay.
Looking for bras without underwire, or bralettes. Any suggestions please?
Husband tried it on and it ripped. Negative out of 10. Waiting to hear back on how to return. Communication is slow and no automated policy. Emails back and forth. Spent $200 on garbage.
Because the most sustainable clothing is what already exists, show off your thrifted pieces here!
I can’t believe it’s this hard to find, but I’m looking for a children’s robe that is not plastic and preferably less than $30. Any natural materials are fine with me. Know of any product like this?
Please feel free to post as many surveys as you'd like in this thread. This post will repeat every week on Tuesdays at 8 am CST.

Hi all, I just bought an absolutely gorgeous wool coat. The fitting is perfect, it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s made out of 90% wool and 10% cashmere. I’m not gonna lie, it wasn’t cheap at all. But this is my first winter coat, so I’m willing to pay a higher price to have a very high quality coat that will last me for life. There is one problem: the coat isn’t lined.
I’ve done some search and a coat being unlined isn’t necessarily a sign of low quality (on the contrary). In this case it seems the fabric is double faced, which makes it incredibly soft. I live in Germany, the average temperature for winter is 5C degrees (39F). Do you think an unlined wool coat will be warm enough for this temperature? Appreciate any input!

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.
Hey folks,
I’ve been working evenings on an idea around making second-hand fashion a bit more fun and interactive. It’s still super early — I’ve got a name, a domain, and a simple landing page — but now I’d love to link up with someone who’s into building stuff and maybe shares a love for sustainable fashion.
I’m based in Ireland but totally open to remote collaboration. Would love to connect with someone who’s into web/app development, design, or marketing.
If that sounds like your sort of thing, just drop a comment or DM — happy to chat and swap ideas.

Hey everyone — I’m Adam, founder of a small UK clothing brand that’s trying to do things properly: organic materials, circular production, no ego-driven hype, just meaningful clothing people genuinely want to wear.
I’ve been building everything myself over the last few months, and I’m at the point now where I really want to hear from the people who actually care about sustainability — not just what the industry thinks you want.
So I’m genuinely curious:
What do you want to see more of from sustainable clothing brands? • Better pricing? • Transparency? • Longer-lasting basics? • More educational content? • Less greenwashing? • More creative designs instead of the usual “earthy minimalism”? • Or something else completely?
I’m not here to promote anything — I honestly just want to listen, learn, and shape what I’m building around actual community insight rather than guessing.
I’d love to hear your thoughts (big or small). What do you feel today’s “sustainable fashion” space is missing?
Going hiking, need some advice. Are velvet clothes pratical for rough acitivities? And can anyone tell me what other types of fabric arent practical to move around in?
Hey everyone! I’m currently working on my Bachelor's project in Fashion Business & Sustainability, and I need your help! As part of my research, I’m exploring interest in a sustainable unisex Ready To Wear leather capsule collection, and your insights would be invaluable.
I have two short surveys (each takes less than 5 minutes):
1️⃣ General interest survey – open to anyone:
https://forms.gle/1d4ZSdtbRGEXJYwX7
2️⃣ Isabel Marant consumer survey – for those who have purchased from the brand:
https://forms.gle/squ75CRQGZrc4mn98
Your feedback will help me understand what consumers value in design, sustainability, and product choices, and it will contribute directly to shaping this concept.
I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it with your network — every response makes a difference!
Thank you so much for your support 💫
We've been working at this industry years. But there's still seldom people trust in it. Plus there's no normal standard, though we would like to have a proof from any famous testing lab. So so far we couldn't find any lab who is willing to do it. What a shame!
this is not about anything like fashion this is about eco friendly kitchen gadgets that will keep you healthier helping the planet too i’ve recently bought some utensils in this web if you want to take a look https://greenu-2.myshopify.com/collections/all
Are there any documented instances where people got some sickness or infection from wearing thrifted clothes? How to sanitize them after buying? I often see some very nice designs in thrifted clothes but am hesitant to buy them
Please help. Do they exist? I'm a stay at home mom with a lot of homestead type hobbies that loves feminine dresses (aka Doen). I need a dress or two this winter with room to grow because I'm pregnant. Everything looks so frumpy. Is it just because we cover more skin in winter? Am I doomed to stick with separates?
I tried the La Petite Alice Birdie dress with bishop sleeves and LORD it does not look cute like the model. Yes, I can layer under it easy, but that's because it's basically a baptism gown. I'm trying to sell it and use the money for something that will work, but I have no idea what to get. So many sustainable dresses give conservative vibes.
Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thrifting has been ruined in my area so that's off the table. Does my dress exist or should I just get a nose piercing and tattoos so anti vax Christian homeschool moms don't approach me at the library? 😂
Hello, all! I am searching for some cute classical clothing that is not fast fashion.
Everytime I search stuff comes up that is cute and what I'm looking for but once I google the company it's fast fashion.
Does anyone have any recommendations on good websites for vintage style clothing? Please don't recommend goodwill or thrift stores as I frequent those already 💚.
Hey guys,
We’re two 20-year-old friends from Italy who just launched our own brand of 100% linen pants, fully made in Italy, on Amazon.
We came up with this idea after browsing Amazon US and seeing that there were basically only low-quality dropshipped pants.
Obviously our price is higher than Amazon’s market average but for it you’ll get a much more durable and high quality product.
The issue is that our marketing budget is pretty tight; that's why we’re hoping to reach some customers with this post and spread by word of mouth.
If you want to check us out, search for “Bottega Campanini” on Amazon.
We’re convinced about the quality. We just need a little visibility :)
A couple years back I found a fashion brand I really loved, but couldn't afford their stuff at the time. Now I can, but can't find them. Maybe someone here can help me remember?
My worry is if they went out of business and I missed my chance.
This was an eco-friendly and/or sustainable brand, mostly doing tees, crewneck sweaters and hoodies. Black website. They had really gorgeous, typography and design heavy shirts, pretty sure screen printed themselves. Might have had some tie dye.
I found a few items that have the same aesthetic, but this brand had nothing but designs like these:
- https://earthday.store/products/every-day-is-earth-day-tee?variant=44895131762866
- https://goodforsunday.com/products/save-the-ocean-t-shirt?variant=39307953307670

Had this idea recently, would be so grateful for some honest feedback.
So much clothing ends up wasted because of overproduction and poor fit or quality.
If you could buy made-to-measure clothing (like jeans, dresses, etc.) to ensure a perfect fit and reduce waste from excess sizing, would you go for it?
And how much would you realistically be willing to pay for something like that?
Lately, I’ve been struggling with all of the “rules” around sustainable and ethical consumption. Every time I learn something new about fabrics, supply chains, overconsumption, or secondhand shopping, I feel like I need to change my whole lifestyle to match. It’s exhausting trying to keep up, and honestly, sometimes it feels like I’m drowning in information.
I know the most sustainable thing is to wear what I already own, but the truth is I love clothing. It brings me real joy to explore styles, textures, and looks. I just don’t know how to balance that passion with my desire to be thoughtful and responsible.
So I’m curious:
I’d love to hear how others navigate this.
hii, this is my first post! I am looking to find black platform winter boots (as mentioned above lol) that I can actually use in a canadian winter. I don't do anything intense outside, mostly walking. I want to find a brand that is ethical and makes gothic/alternitive footwear that is suitable. Preferably not too expensive, as well. Does anybody know of anything I can look into?? ty!!
I'm doing a cross cultural analysis of sustainable clothing purchase intentions but i need about 50 more UK residents responses in order to do my data analysis by using SEM which requires a huge data set, so if possible can you guy please fill the survey. It will only take about 5 min to complete.
thankk you

Hello, are there any South Africans here? Where do you find your clothing?
I mostly thrift at charity shops in person, but I was wondering if there's some good online thrifts or sustainable fashion brands? Also, if you can offer advice on how you find good items I'd appreciate that too :)
Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but looking for some advice! I have a bunch of clothes that I’d like to donate, but I’ve struggled to find shelters in my area that would take them (they’re either not accepting lightly used items or have pretty strict guidelines on sizes), and I don’t love donating to goodwill/Salvation Army. I thought I could host a garage sale of sorts where everything is free and I could advertise on OfferUp/Facebook buy nothing groups/signs around the neighborhood. Is that something that you think people would be interested in or is it weird? I want people who need the items to feel like it’s a nice experience so I’d love to setup my driveway like a cute shop with items displayed on racks & have some snacks and things. Would it be better to frame it like a $1 sale or something vs free? I don’t want people to just feel like I’m offloading my items to them. Let me know your thoughts!
A recurring thread for talking about things related to sustainable fashion. Be nice.
A few years ago, my mom and I--seeing how “sustainability” was being turned into another buzzword often used to sell more products, not to challenge the system that made fashion exploitative in the first place--started what eventually became a small cooperative in Tunisia, where every artisan shares in profits and decisions. We work slowly, mostly with wool, cotton, and leather, all hand processed, plant-dyed, and handwoven by women and artisans who’ve inherited these crafts for generations.
We knew rejecting mass production wasn’t an easy choice because it means rejecting convenience, predictability, and scale. But it also meant rejecting the commodification of humanity when people are reduced from ensouled beings to producers and consumers, and when communities, crafts, and even nature are completely stripped of meaning.
I’ve been too often disappointed by a really narrow view of ethics in fashion. It is not just about fair wages and natural materials (though that matters deeply).
It’s also spiritual and political, recognizing the sacredness of labor, the dignity of those who create, and the interconnection between decolonial and environmental struggles worldwide.
We often joke that we’re “accidental entrepreneurs.” We were more interested in politics and activism than in start-up culture. But after watching traditional crafts fade, seeing local communities degraded, and women forced into exploitative factory work, we realized: if we don’t build an alternative, someone else will keep exploiting the system. So we built one slowly but intentionally.
We don’t always get it right. Working cooperatively requires a lot of patience, vulnerability, and unlearning habits from the global capitalist model. But it’s also been one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve ever had, to see artisans fully own their craft, to see work become a form of prayer, and to learn about all of the incredible secrets of the natural world from raw sheep’s wool to natural dyes.
I wanted to share our story here because this community has always been one of the few online spaces where real discussions about ethics in fashion still happen beyond marketing.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
Have any of you been involved in or supported cooperative models in fashion? and how do you personally navigate the tension between sustainability and accessibility in terms of price?
Because the most sustainable clothing is what already exists, show off your thrifted pieces here!
I'm looking for higher quality, sustainable fashion brands that have similar styles to Modcloth, specifically Modcloth's "Cider, Spice & Everything Nice Wide Leg Pants". I'm really tired of everything being polyester and I want a higher quality blend. I don't mind spending a little more for better quality. I appreciate any recs! Thanks!

In trying to build awareness for my brand, I've been digging into what 'sustainable clothing UK' really means, beyond the buzzwords and greenwashing. I think brands like Finisterre, Rapanui, Lucy & Yak and Pangaia are doing really well and I'd love to follow their lead.
I build my brand on the idea of 'progress over perfection' from a mindset/wellness perspective but I guess this also counts for sustainability - have any of us get it perfect yet? I doubt it.
I wrote a blog article on my site outlining these 5 brands (only a short read)
I'm curious to hear what other brands 'walk the talk' and who did I miss?

Hi, first time posting here. Does anyone know where to buy 100% natural wool or cashmere clothes in the U.S? Cold is coming, it would make a nice gift.
Hey fellow fashion-industry folks (and anyone who cares about what we wear):
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of digging — and I’m really shaken by what I’m finding about our industry(which is currently the second most polluting industry in the world). Some quick facts that hit me:
• We’re responsible for around 10% of global carbon emissions.
• We use roughly 93 billion m³ of water per year, and about 20% of global wastewater comes from textile treatment.
• Synthetic fibres dominate (~60% of clothing) and many garments end up in landfill or incinerated; some fabrics take up to 200 years to biodegrade.
As someone who loves designing and creating, it hurts to realize the cost of our creativity.
Now I find myself walking toward sustainability — questioning every process, every material.
Do any of you here in fashion feel this same conflict? How are you trying to shift your work (or even your mindset) toward sustainability? Let’s discuss real ways to make change — not just talk about it.
Need to order company swag and want something that’ll actually last. I’ve read mixed reviews about Colorful Standard, so open to other options.
