Where to Find Size-Inclusive Sustainable Clothes (That Aren’t Boring!)
Where to Find Size-Inclusive Sustainable Clothes (That Aren’t Boring!)Sustainable clothing ≠ boring.
Maybe that was the case at one point but emerging brands are hearing the call of the wild and creating size-inclusive collections catered to dopamine dressers like myself.
And this isn’t to be confused with long-established brands switching to sustainable practices (or, unfortunately, greenwashing) but rather new up-and-coming companies that want to make a difference in the fashion space.
While the most sustainable clothing you can own is what’s already in your closet; it’s impossible to rule out new purchases for the rest of your life as your body and lifestyle change.
That’s where these new brands are helping to fill a gap.
If we have to produce new clothing, why not make it using sustainable practices? This includes sourcing from ethical supply chains, giving employees a safe working environment and fair wages, using earth-friendly materials in garments, reducing their carbon footprint, and many more touch points.
There are a lot of brands stepping up to make this happen but for the purpose of this post, I want to highlight a few stand-out small businesses that cater to The Outfit Repeater aesthetic!
