Happy Friday! Yesterday we covered 12 ways to be more eco-friendly in regards to your clothing! Today we are chatting about brands that are actually sustainable and better yet, affordable! First we are going to re-cap the outfits of today. If you’re not interested, feel free to scroll down to the 5 affordable and sustainable clothing brands that you should be shopping!
What did you wear today?
I start every Friday with foam rolling class which means more workout clothes. I tossed on my favorite Under Armour top (definitely from over ten years ago) and a pair of black Victoria secret leggings. These leggings have been my weakness this month – it’s the only thing that I have repeatedly worn-only for short amounts of time though!
After the class I wanted to actually dress a little nicer, yet still be comfortable. I pulled out one of my favorite pairs of leggings from Old Navy. They have a cute Moto look them with some pleating on the front thigh! When Ben and I were in the Berkshires we did a little outlet shopping and I picked up this cute white crop top from Gap. I love anything high waisted paired with a crop top because I’m pretty short. Thankfully, it makes you appear a little taller/longer than you actually are! I tossed on a pair of white Allbirds and a jean jacket and was ready to roll. I have become obsessed with white sneakers in general and Allbirds over the past year! Their shoes are so incredibly comfy for walking around everyday!
5 Affordable Sustainable Clothing Brands You Should be Shopping
- Allbirds – they did after-all inspire this post! Their products produce 6% carbon emissions, as opposed to the average product which produces 12%. One pair of shoelaces is made from 1 recycled plastic bottle. All of their fibers are sustainable as well! Check-out their sustainability page on their site for more info!
- Clique Fitness – This brand out of New Zealand that specializes in women’s activewear. All of their packaging is compostable and each pair of compression tights is made using 12.5 recycled plastic bottles! They are also partnered with a company called carbon click. With each purchase, money gets donated to carbon click who funds forestry projects.
- Patagonia – Patagonia has been ahead of the sustainability curve for years. They pledge to consume less energy, waste less water, and produce less trash. Since 1985 they have donated 1% of every sale towards restoring our planet.
- Pact – This company makes 100% organic cotton products. This process uses less water wastes and no toxic chemicals. Through Pact, you can also re-use the shipping box to send old clothing to be donated to non-profits.
- Levi’s – Their mantra is “Buy Better. Wear Longer.” They are focused on more durable products while producing less water waste. They are also working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
