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)[...]

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[...]

Live colourfully! Here’s the ethical clothing brands I love for a vibrant look

Bland fashion? We don't know her. For many people, one of the biggest barriers to shopping with  more ethical clothing brands is the (understandable) misconception that sustainable equals beige boringness. It's my personal mission to prove to you this isn't the case. In this post I've summarised the brands that I personally love for creating 'maximalist' bold and bright outfits, without compromising ethics. From everyday basics in vibrant hues (hello, loungewear inspo!) to the most attention-grabbing pieces[...]

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 ethical activewear brands for stylish gym goers

We all love wearing sportswear (both in and out the gym), and there are few activewear brands out there right now with a cult status like Gymshark. I'll admit, I myself have been tempted - the company's influencer marketing campaign is second to none. But I had to wonder: how ethical is Gymshark? A quick look on the company's website reveals nothing about the company's code of conduct or sustainability goals. Delving deeper into Gymshark's Good on You score is especially worrying, with a firm 'we avoid' scor[...]

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[...]

That’s so kitsch! Ethical brands like Joanie Clothing

The key to building a truly sustainable wardrobe is to find pieces you'll want to wear forever. You know, something in a timeless style, that's unique enough to always score you some serious compliments on your style. I've always loved styling outfits that have a nod to the pin=up style of the 1950s and 1960s, and I'm not the only one. Vintage reproduction and rockabilly-style brands are big business these days, with one of the most popular in the UK being Joanie Clothing. I've long loved Joanie, and I was[...]
