The best ethical menswear brands 2021

The number of ethical brands on the market has skyrocketed over the past few years, but it's womenswear companies that tend to take the spotlight. So what about conscious menswear - where's the best place to shop for mens clothes that are stylish AND sustainable? As a quick disclaimer: there's an ever-growing number of ethical fashion brands created to be unisex or genderless, which is great! Ethical fashion brands that are working in this way include Lucy and Yak (colourful dungarees and funky separates)[...]

The best places to buy secondhand clothes online

Secondhand clothing is a big deal right now. In fact, it's only going to get bigger: US resale platform Thred Up predicts resale will be 1.5 times bigger than fast fashion by 2028. If 2020 was the year of Depop, then 2021 is the year of exciting new platforms for us to sell, swap, and rent our clothes. I've always been envious of US thrift stores, but the UK is proving it has game when it comes to online secondhand clothing stores! It feels like every few weeks I stumble upon a new platform via Instagram[...]

Fairtrade Fortnight – what does it mean for fashion?

Happy Fairtrade Fortnight! Running from 22 Feb - 7 March in 2021, this is a celebration of the people who grow our food, as well as the fibres used to make our clothes. As we see the climate crisis continue to affect the world with a snowballing effect, not to mention the global hardship caused by Covid 19, promoting Fairtrade goods are more important than ever. My first introduction to Fairtrade was in early secondary school, where a Fairtrade fair organised by seniors offered bananas, chocolate, and oth[...]

British, black-owned brands for style seekers

I am definitely guilty of not supporting more British, black-owned brands. Like many people, the Black Lives Matter Movement has rightly caused me to stop and think about the brands I shop with and follow on social media. You've probably seen that fast fashion brands both in the UK and the US have been called out on social media for their 'performative activism': allegedly showing solidarity with black lives whilst continuing to profit off marginalised people, and avoiding diversity in their boardrooms and im[...]

The best influencers to follow on Instagram if you love colourful, vintage clothing

It will come as no surprise to you that I LOVE vintage fashion. Citrus colours, psychedelic prints, colour blocking, and funky silhouettes are what makes this style of dressing really appealing to me. And I'm not the only one. Instagram is my number one hub on vintage outfit inspiration (take that, Pinterest!) so I thought I'd round up the accounts I can't get enough of for you to add to your follow list. We all know that shopping second hand is an easy way to shop more ethically. However, vintage piece[...]

Divas don’t do stains: how learning to wash my clothes the right way opened up my wardrobe

For most of my adult life I've been terrified of clothes made from natural fibres and luxury garments. Anything that required more TLC than being chucked in the washing machine on a generic cycle was a no-no for me. Instead of learning how to care for special clothing, I'd opt for acrylic, polyester, and other manmade fibres instead. And once I inevitably spilled wine/ pasta sauce/ make up all over my clothes? Well, it was sayonara to them and hello to new clothes to take their place. But then I discovered a[...]

Ten ethical fashion brands to follow on Instagram in 2020

Wow, 2020 has been a rollercoaster, huh?! But if there's one positive to come out of this crazy year, it's that many of us are eager to make more sustainable style choices, and to shop from ethical fashion brands. Last year was a time of great discovery for me, and most of the new conscious clothing companies I found were through Instagram. If you're also setting out on your ethical style journey, then I highly recommend using the app as a force for good and swiftly unfollowing fast fashion brands and influe[...]
