Leave Fast Fashion Behind in 2019 With These 15 Sustainable Clothing Brands

In This Article:

Fast fashion - mall stores like H&M, Forever 21, and Zara - may be cheap, but it's killing the planet and leaving millions of workers with unlivable wages and highly dangerous working conditions. Rather than continuing to support fast fashion, here are some ethical options to start your 2020 off right.

Patagonia

One of the first "outdoorsy" brands to embrace sustainability, Patagonia has been consistently ethical since 2011. Their clothing is well-made and perfect for anyone looking to get closer to nature while still preserving it.

United By Blue

United By Blue is another sustainable "outdoorsy" company, in a similar vein with Patagonia. However, they produce fewer items, encouraging lower consumption, which is the only real way to be truly sustainable.

Allbirds

You may have seen their ads on your favorite YouTube channels, but the hype is real. Their shoes are comfortable, ethical, and good for the environment. The perfect combination!

Krochet Kids

Krochet Kids provides sustainable basics at a reasonable price. If you ever need the essentials, be sure to check out Krochet Kids!

Sisterhood

Sisterhood is a slow fashion brand with a fast fashion look. Their company is ethical, however some of their clothing is made from polyester and other synthetic fabrics. Be sure to wash with a microplastic bag!

PACT

PACT is another ethical brand that concentrates on stylish basics and activewear. Though not necessarily the most affordable, their products will last a lifetime.

Everlane

Everlane has been all over social media lately, and for good reason. Their clothes are simple, timeless, and stylish, while still maintaining a great moral code.

Amour Vert

Amour Vert is pretty pricy, but their clothes are so beautiful it almost makes up for it. Perfect for any occasion!

Sezane

Sezane is a brand I've been following since I first got into sustainable fashion. It blends French elegance with heartfelt ethics beautifully (literally).

Kotn

Perhaps my favorite brand on this list, Kotn makes sustainability look effortless and cool. The simplicity of their designs makes the hefty price tag worthwhile!

Lucy & Yak

Lucy & Yak's dungarees are adorable, but they can be expensive. In order to get the best deal, check out their DePop!

We Are Hairy People

We Are Hairy People has some of the most unique and dynamic designs of all the brands on this list. Highly recommended!

Afends

If you like the Brandy Melville aesthetic, but disagree with their brand's message, Afends is the perfect alternative. Which and cute, but with a great code of ethics.

Oh Seven Days

Oh Seven Days is really expensive, but they use surplus fabric that other brands don't use, so who could ask for more? Just be sure to catch their sales!

Wild Fawn

The only jewelry brand on this list, Wild Fawn gives some off some Mejuri and Missoma vibes, just with better morals.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
