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

What are we shopping for these days?

Hey friends! What is everyone shopping for these days? Back-to-school outfits and outerwear for the kiddos? Vacation 'fits for your end-of-summer trip to Italy? Wedding guest attire??? I'm working with a startup that aggregates fashion finds on the resale sites and I'd love to put their software to the test! Drop what you're shopping for in the comments and I'll do my best to find some options for ya on the resale sites. Thanks! 👗🔁🌏

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.

Places to sell (non-designer) clothes that aren't Buffalo Exchange (points for in Boston, MA)

Looking for places to sell used clothing in Boston (will take recs for online platforms as well)

I'm trying to sell my clothes on Depop and find that I'm not making sales nearly as quick as I would like. If you have suggestions for either I'm all ears

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.
