With Earth Day having recently passed, there’s been buzz around sustainability in the fashion industry. When we think about sustainability, we think about not eating certain foods, not using plastic water bottles, and composting. While these sustainability efforts are great, we shouldn’t stop there — it’s important to think about making your style more sustainable, too.

I can’t lie, it’s easy for me to go to Forever 21 or H&M and pick up something that’s cute. But then I remember that these brands are fast fashion clothing brands. Meaning that they crank out a mass amount of clothing to meet popular demand, creating a ton of waste in the process. No good.

If you want to be a more sustainable fashionista, a great place to start is by supporting eco friendly clothing companies. But you can’t buy eco-friendly clothing if you don’t know any eco-friendly clothing brands. So below are 9 eco-friendly clothing brands you have to check out!

At first glance one might not see what’s unique about Christy Dawn. However, once you learn more, you’ll quickly find out what the hype is all about. 

Founder Christy Dawn mixes the vintage style of her hometown with a goal of being kind to the Earth. She does this by using deadstock fabric, which is the extra fabric left over from fashion companies that would otherwise end up in landfills. Before the fabrics go to waste, Christy gets ahold of them and creates gorgeous limited edition dresses.

One of the main criticisms waged against eco-friendly brands is that they aren’t fashionable. Amour Vert is a company that proves the stereotype wrong. They offer classically feminine clothing while doing a great service to the environment.
