Eco-Friendly Fashion: What Has Your Clothing Done?

by Leave a Comment

When you hear eco-friendly fashion what do you think of? If your thinking of anything tyedyed, you couldn’t be more wrong! Eco-fashion has evolved from clothes just for hippies, to something modern hippsters can’t get enough of!

Eco-friendly fashion is the newest movement in to take the fashion world by storm! Not only are eco-friendly fashion designs stylish and comfortable, they are incredibly beneficial to our world in so many ways!

For starters, wearing eco-friendly clothing is good for your health. Yes, you heard me right, clothing that is good for you to wear! Eco-friendly clothing only uses natural, raw materials. This means the plants used to make their fabrics are never sprayed with pesticides and these fabrics have never been exposed to harmful chemicals or bleaches — great for those of us with sensitive skin and especially babies.

Designers of eco fashion typically choose recycled or upcycled materials —  a great start to reducing our footprint! The designer’s goals are to reduce excess waste so these eco-desgins are made with quality materials in order to last longer and have minimum impact on the environment.

Another great quality of green fashion is its promotion of Fair Trade. A global movement, Fair Trade promotes sustainable livelihoods and development opportunities to people in the poorest countries of the world. It ensures workers have good pay and a decent working environment. When you buy or sell products marked with fair trade, feel free to give yourself a pat on the back knowing you are helping make our world a better place.

So, in short, eco-friendly fashion is quickly becoming the biggest trend in fashion! It benefits your health, the environment, and supports underprivileged countries. Choose a clothing line that is more than trendy fashion. Choose a clothing line that is beneficial as well as beuatiful.
