4 Of The Most Important Sustainable Fashion Items To Own

If you’re making the switch to eco-friendly clothing, you know that it’s a sustainable fashion marathon instead of a sprint. Choosing to update the most important items before accessories and extras will help you get a sustainable capsule wardrobe and fine-tune what you really need.

A Classic White Shirt

A clean, sharp white shirt is essential for work and other functions. Team it up with jeans for a casual look on the weekends. You can choose a shirt or t-shirt, depending on what gets the most wear out of you. An interesting option is the Paper Shirt by Kowtow. It’s made from 100 percent Global Organic Textile Standard certified cotton, and can be worn tucked into pants for a more formal look or tucked out for a relaxed style.

Flattering Jeans

Every woman needs a pair of denims that are kind to her figure and kind to the planet! It takes 1,800 gallons of water to grow cotton to make one pair of jeans, which is scary and excessive. So, it’s really important to buy green jeans. There are many eco-friendly denim brands out there that are all about fair-trade denim and many of them can be purchased online for greater ease.

The Little Black Dress

You can do so much with a little black dress, like glam it up for a night on the town, or wear it over tights when the weather takes a dive. A great example of a versatile and eco LBD is the Evelina Dress by Groceries Apparel. Made with GMO-free organic cotton and eucalyptus tencel, it’s sure to be a hit for decades.

Wrap Dress

A wrap dress is a versatile addition to your wardrobe, but it doesn’t have to be in a neutral colour. Choose a patterned dress that accentuates your personality. A great sustainable wrap dress to check out is the Vetta wrap dress which has a beautiful floral pattern. You can detach the front wrap section and wear it as a slip dress, giving you two dresses in one. Made with biodegradable fibres, this item is a must-have. During production, water that’s used to process the materials gets recycled and any waste is treated sustainably, so you can be sure you’re being good to the environment. Go on and spoil yourself!
