Then there’s the simple fact that synthetic materials don’t biodegrade, which is why fleece makes a great alternative. It’s made from recycled plastics, removing waste that would otherwise add to our already crowded landfills.
Whether you get your duds from a vintage shop or buy organic cotton socks dyed without toxins, there’s a way to turn your passion for sustainability into fashion. An interest in nature and the environment doesn’t mean you have to go au-natural to support the cause.
For long-lasting fashion, sustain your style by:
- Shopping at vintage or resale shops.
- Buying clothes marked by a fair-trade label.
- Wearing organic cotton clothing.
- Outfitting yourself in linen or hemp.
