sustainable linen clothing brands

There’s no doubt about it; linen is the perfect fabric to wear during the warmer months. This natural fabric has many benefits to wearing in heat; it’s no wonder it’s a classic favorite.

Why choose linen before other natural fabrics?

Linen is more durable than cotton, incredibly easy to care for, and it’s moisture-wicking making it very breathable and always cool to the touch. The flax plant (where linen comes from) is more sustainable than most because it requires little water to grow. However, not all linen is created equally. If linen is grown naturally (without pesticides) and undyed or only dyed with eco-friendly dyes, it would be able to biodegrade relatively quickly.

which type of linen should you look for?

I suggest looking for organic linen to ensure no chemicals have been used. I know this cannot be easy because organic linen is rarer to find. However, I think linen is already a more sustainable fiber than most, so if you love an ethical brand that uses linen (without an organic label), go for it! You can always mention the fabric and see if they will make the switch (or if it is even attainable for them in the near future). You can also find a couple of certifications like Oeko-Tex & European Flax, which hold higher standards for the production of linen. Overall, linen is a better fabric choice and will make a great addition to your Spring & Summer wardrobe - or, if you live in warmer climates, your wardrobe all year long!

Where to Rent Clothes For Temporary or one-time Wears

Clothing rentals have been around for the last decade but have swept the field in the fashion industry over the last couple of years. Conscious consumers are looking for innovative rental services to support their shopping sustainably. We have highlighted the full spectrum of clothing rentals, from plus-size to children’s clothing and everything in between. Clothing rentals are a great option for when you are going to a wedding or special event and need a dress to wear only once. Choosing rental clothes grants the garment a longer life cycle, keeping it out of landfill for as long as possible. Many of these services offer not only clothes but designer bags, shoes, and jewelry galore! Renting clothes is a fun way to shop, allowing you to browse someone else’s closet instead of buying new. Have some fun experimenting with the rental services that best suit you and your style needs. Whether shopping in person tires you out, or you just don’t love wasting so much money on an expensive garment that you know you’ll only wear once, you can rest assured that there is a rental service that will solve all your fashion struggles!

HOW DO RENTAL SERVICES WORK?

Clothing rental services allow you to borrow seasonal and special occasion attire for a short period of time, rather than dropping a lot of money to buy something that you might only wear once. Some rental services allow you to rent from other people’s real closets, and some you rent directly from the service that stocks a variety of brands. While online shopping for your temporary purchase, you can easily find the perfect style by filtering your choice of style, color, occasion, and price. Some rental services offer a subscription, while others offer a one-time price for the rental garment. The prices vary greatly based on designer, label, and original price range, but you will get a discounted price while renting no matter what.

WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF RENTING VERSUS BUYING?

As many of us know by now, the fashion industry has a very negative impact on the environment. Most articles of clothing in our wardrobe serve one or two life cycles, then end up in the landfill, despite donating to charity shops. This is where the clothing rental industry drastically challenges that fact. The clothing rental service market is expected to reach a value of US$ 2.08 billion by 2025. Clothing rental services offer the most usage in the special occasion market, which serves as a great solution to buying fancy outfits that you will only wear once and at an expensive price tag. With clothing rentals, you are contributing to one of the many life cycles the item will have, keeping it out of the landfill for as long as possible.

We would also like you to be mindful of your carbon impact when shipping items back and forth. We believe clothing rental is excellent for temporary, one-time wear pieces, but we don't think this is something you should do for your everyday wardrobe. Instead, invest in quality, ethically-made pieces you intend to love for many years. And, of course, shopping secondhand and taking care of what you already have is a wonderful way to have a sustainable wardrobe!

SUSTAINABLE BLAZERS FOR WOMEN AND MEN

A good-quality blazer is one of the most important staple pieces in anyone’s wardrobe. It is THE item of clothing we put on whenever we want to look more elegant and put together. 

Whether you are a woman or a man, you can wear blazers pretty much everywhere. They are perfect to wear at work or for an interview, for attending a party, and for going out to a restaurant or on a date. 

But blazers are also a must-have piece if you like wearing nice, chic clothes on an everyday basis. You can have a more casual look with a blazer if you pair it with a pair of jeans or regular pants, and a t-shirt underneath. 

However, most blazers we can find are produced by fast fashion brands in a very unethical way. They are also usually made from unsustainable fabrics, like polyester or conventional cotton. Not to mention how bad their quality is! 

Poorly made blazers are not made to last and they wear out fairly quickly, which is extremely wasteful. They also usually look very cheap and this is definitely not what we want when wearing a blazer. A good-quality, eco-friendly blazer is truly worth the investment, and you will never regret buying one! 

We have found ten blazers that are designed to last and made in a sustainable and ethical way, and we have compiled them in this article. You will find eight options for women and two for men, so everyone can upgrade their look whenever they want! 

WHAT MAKES A BLAZER SUSTAINABLE?

A sustainable blazer is one produced using eco-friendly fabrics and dyed with non-toxic, azo-free dyes. It should also be produced under ethical conditions: garment workers should be paid a fair living wage and work in a healthy, safe, and non-discriminatory environment. 

Another important factor is that the blazer needs to be well made to stand the test of time. You should be able to wear it countless times and wash it over and over again, without it wearing down quickly. 

Finally, if the brand is a certified B Corporation or climate-neutral, it will usually sell products that are made with people and the environment in mind. 

WHAT ECO-FRIENDLY FABRICS SHOULD YOU SEARCH FOR?

To be sustainable, a blazer can be made from a variety of eco-friendly fabrics. Most are crafted from linen, organic cotton, Tencel lyocell, or hemp. 

There are also great, sustainable options made using recycled or upcycled fabrics such as recycled polyester, recycled wool, recycled cotton, or reclaimed fabrics. 

If you can find them, make sure to choose Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified fabrics so that you know they are free of harmful chemicals and substances. 

OUR TOP PICKS FOR SUSTAINABLE BLAZERS FOR BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

The Best Sustainable Tank Tops

Tank tops are a wardrobe staple, whether you live in a hot place and need them year-round or have short summers but love to layer like me. Tank tops can include anything from athletic ones to casual ones for a day at the park to ones that can be layered and dressed up for a night out. Due to their versatility, tanks are a foundational item that most of us have multiple of, and they should be part of any capsule wardrobe. With the variety of tank top options, I made sure to include a whole range of styles, prices, and sizes. Of course, they are all from brands that are sustainable and ethical. I am certain you will be able to find a few solid choices that will fit your style for many years. I haven’t forgotten the men either – there are 3 recommendations for you. 

Why Does Sustainability Matter When it Comes to Tank Tops?

You might wonder why it is important to make sure even your tank tops are sustainable. After all, they are vastly available, inexpensive, come in many colors and styles, are worn often, and are small garments - shouldn’t they be one part of the wardrobe you don’t have to worry about? Being a wardrobe staple, you should particularly look for sustainable tank tops. Since they are worn often, you probably have multiples, and they aren’t usually resalable; look for ones that last a long time and use eco-friendly materials and production methods. While it is easy to pick up 5 different colors of $5 tank tops, you must ask yourself why it is so cheap and what toll it took on the planet and people to make it? The best thing to do is to have 3 or 4 high-quality tank tops that go with many items in your wardrobe and will last you years – think of them as foundations of a great wardrobe.

Tip: Sign up for emails from your favorite brands and get alerts about sales, then stock up on the tanks you need.

What Materials Should You Look For?

The most common fabrics to look for in sustainable tank tops are:

• Organic Cotton

• Recycled Polyester

• Tencel

• Micro Modal

• Linen

• Hemp

Many tanks have a small mix of Elastane or Spandex, especially if they are used for athletic purposes, so they stretch and hold their shape. Recycled polyester is a good alternative to Spandex and Elastane. However, they are usually such a small percentage of the overall garment that it is not a deal-breaker when shopping.

Now, Our Top 12 Picks for Sustainable Tank Tops:

1) Stretch Fit Tank

Brand: Pact

Price: $50/ 3 pack

Materials: 93% organic cotton and 7% Elastane

PACT is one of the early leaders in sustainable foundations such as underwear and tank tops and the first place I turned to when starting my sustainable wardrobe journey.

This classic athletic style for women comes in a 3 pack of the same or different colors, giving you the basics you need for many years. You can wear these to garden in the hot sun, or under a light cardigan by the beach. The cherry on the top is that PACT’s tanks are GOTS and Fair-Trade certified.

 4) Victoria Dream Knit Top

Even though this is called a sleeveless top, to me it is a dressy tank style. This is so versatile it could be worn with nearly everything for nearly every occasion. The twist keyhole style adds a nice element of interest too. The Victoria Dream Knit comes in 3 stripped or 1 flower option.

One thing I love about Amount Vert is they provide information on the actual factory where your garment is made.

Sustainable Shorts for Summer

Shorts are a warm-weather essential that you probably dig out of your closet every spring or summer. But as you wear them, season after season, they can get worn out and you might need to purchase a new pair. 

Shorts are a wardrobe staple you might wear all summer long, so you want them to be comfortable, lightweight and they have to fit your body well. 

But if you’re eco-conscious, you probably want to avoid buying them from fast fashion brands, because they’re very polluting and wasteful. You can easily opt for more sustainable alternatives! 

The most eco-friendly way to shop for a pair of shorts is either to get them second-hand or from sustainable brands. If you prefer the second option, we’ve compiled a list of 16 sustainable fashion brands that sell shorts you’ll want to wear all summer!

WHAT MAKES YOUR SHORTS SUSTAINABLE?

Like every clothing item, sustainable shorts are made with eco-friendly materials. It means either recycled fabrics, or natural and biodegradable ones. Shorts should be made to last for years, so they have to be high quality and durable. 

Also, make sure that the brand is transparent about its supply chain, and that it offers workers decent working conditions and fair wages. Brands that are B corporations or certified GOTS, Oeko-Tex 100, or Fair Trade should be your go-to when looking for sustainable shorts! 

WHAT ECO-FRIENDLY FABRICS SHOULD YOU SEARCH FOR? 

As you’re most likely to wear shorts in the summer, you want them to be lightweight and breathable. The best eco-friendly fabrics for such shorts are linen, organic cotton, hemp, and Tencel. All are sustainable and great for the summer, so pick your favorite! If you plan to be active and work out regularly, look for recycled polyester or recycled nylon.
