Creating sustainable wardrobes encourages consumers to realise how their fashion choices affect the environment, workers, and animals. More people do not take the sustainable fashion train, why? Price may be one thing that hinders people from moving forward! We know ethical and friendly clothing for being more expensive. However, for the sustainable fashion movement to continue to develop, it must include all budgets. Now, more and more affordable, sustainable fashion options are emerging.
Clothing Collection, Buying The Best Products
When I first discovered sustainable fashion, I was still in my second year of college. Living on a university budget and trying to keep up with fashion trends is challenging enough. By adding ecological awareness to the mix will make your options very limited.
So, how can consumers with limited budgets find affordable friendly clothing brands? First, let us first look at why sustainable clothing is more expensive.
Why is sustainable clothing more expensive?
For many reasons, sustainable fashion is more expensive. A notable example is the higher quality of materials used in clothing. For example, by comparing materials such as organic cotton and traditional cotton. Consumers have learned that organic cotton does not contain harmful pesticides. Since organic cotton uses fewer chemicals, this crop requires more maintenance. Besides the high quality of the materials used, ethical brands also pay farmers and employees a living wage. Which must have been included in the price of clothing.
When buying affordable ethical fashion, beware of cheap fast fashion brands that are green and friendly.
When looking for a priced and sustainable fashion brand, it is important to keep your eyes open for cosmetic surgery. Fast fashion giants such as H&M launched a “conscious” clothing series. Although these affordable brands may use more environmentally friendly materials on some products, their business model does not support sustainability. Fast fashion brands rely on consumers to treat clothing as disposable items and continue to buy the latest trends. Although the environmental claims of fast fashion brands convince consumers they are making sustainable choices. This mass production will continue to harm the environment.
How to find affordable sustainable fashion
When launching a conscious wardrobe, try to start with the basics. Simple changes like T-shirts and underwear are a cheaper starting point. Another great way to celebrate eco-friendly fashion on a budget is to buy second-hand items or change clothes. With the recent pandemic, many local thrift stores closed, which means this is not an option for everyone.
When you have to buy something new, there is another solution. Here are the 3 most affordable sustainable fashion brands rated as “good” or “excellent”.
