Styled: Making Connections

You no longer need to choose between cute clothes and earth-friendly ones. 

You think about food waste, but what about clothing waste? Reduce your fashion footprint with eco-friendly duds that will last a lifetime!

Have you tried to chill'n in organic undies? To feel the snug in a puffer made using renewable energy! :)

Think of fabric, textiles...no toxic chemicals were used to give these organic fabric silk its vibrant colourful tints. Why? Because the color for the dye comes exclusively from natural sources: pine nuts, spinach, coffee, eucalyptus, onion skins, and chestnut. 

Okay, who's hungry?  :)

To ensure those who sewed your cozy pullover benefit from your purchase, opt for pieces that are Fair Trade Certified. The label behind the fleece worn sends a portion of your payment to the people who actually produced it. 

The result: services such as childcare, transportation programs, and health care for the factory workers. 

Think about it!

Do you want clothing made of materials that work as hard as you do? Look no further than Tencel, fibers made from sustainably sourced wood. A solid 99 percent of the water and non toxic solvents are recycled during production--plus it is super comfy. This fabric is highly breathable, ideal for activewear and warm temps.

Do you whatever you can yo make a difference.

Choosing fashion that's ecofriendly shouldn't stress you out. 

Adding to your wardrobe does not have to raise your heart rate either! 

Shop at thrift stores, rent clothing for special events, scope out recycled and organic materials, and reinvent old faves with tailoring.

Research labels' eco pledges and check out their emissions data on the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs' site to support companies making strides. 

The more you prioritize doing good by the planet, the more the fashion industry will too!

Choose a label with purpose! Grant Blvd employs formerly incarcerated women and pays them fair wages. The screen prints are made from reclaimed clothes, which means zero water waste.

Look for creators who give vintage pieces a new life by combining multiple garments into one-eye-catching look, avoiding the waste that comes with starting from scratch.

Find your Tribe :)
