Where to Find Sustainable Tights & Stockings

Until we hit warmer weather and brave getting our legs out, we’re all still likely walking around in tights or stockings under our dresses and skirts. They see us through from fall to spring and are staples in our wardrobes, but how much do we really know about these undergarment base layers?

Known collectively as ‘hosiery’, tights and stockings (also pantyhose) have been around for much longer than you might think. As far back as the 9th century, legs were covered with bandages of material, often held in place with strands of gut. However, the introduction of synthetic yarns in the Twenties revolutionized the industry, with hosiery now sheerer than cotton and cheaper than silk.

Worn under clothes like dresses, skirts, shorts or even trousers, and can be used as a fashion accessory to add an extra element to an outfit or worn out of necessity for those of us living in colder climates! They come in a variety of different styles, from fishnet and patterned tights to sheer and back seamed. You'll likely see the word ‘denier’ in the product description of tights and stockings, this is used to describe the thickness of fiber. If you’re looking for thicker, warmer, and opaque tights, look for 40d+ or ‘high denier’ tights, but if you’re after something thinner or sheerer, opt for below 30d or ‘low denier’ tights. Bear in mind that the lower the denier, the weaker the fabric will be and may be more likely to rip or ladder.

What Makes Tights & Stockings Unsustainable?

In terms of garment waste, hosiery is one of the most disposable items in the industry. This is largely due to their mass production, mostly being cheaply made and with synthetic fibers. As many as 8 billion pairs of tights are made, worn a handful of times, and then discarded every year. Tights and stockings often ‘ladder’ or rip within a few uses and, with no widely available way of recycling them, are then thrown away and end up in landfills. If they’re made from synthetic materials, they won’t biodegrade but will break down into microplastics that pollute the soil, oceans, and aquatic life. 

The most commonly used materials for making tights and stockings are Nylon, Spandex, polyamide, cotton, and elastane Lycra. Apart from cotton, these are all synthetic fibers that are derived from non-renewable fossil fuels. To produce these synthetic fabrics is emission intensive, requires a cocktail of toxic chemicals, and is environmentally degrading. When we wash tights or stockings made with synthetic material, hundreds of thousands of microfibers (containing microplastics) are released into our water system and end up in our ocean system and food chain. 

How to Find Sustainable Hosiery?

When searching for sustainable tights and stockings, there are a few things you can do to ensure you’re picking an eco-friendly product. Most importantly, you can opt for more sustainable materials like traceable natural fibers such as bamboo, organic cotton, or recycled synthetics like ECONYL®, Nylon, or polyamide, or even leftovers from other companies' production processes (referred to as ‘deadstock’ materials).

With hosiery it’s crucial that longevity has been considered in the product design. This means the brand has included features that help the garment last as long as possible and protect it from being easily damaged. Look for features like reinforced toes that help prevent ripping or a wide waistband that stops the tights from rolling. 

You should also consider if the brand has wider sustainability initiatives or certifications that make their hosiery ethical as well as sustainable. Do they ensure a living wage for their garment workers? Do they use renewable energy in their factories? Can you see where they’ve sourced their materials from? These are all questions that you should be able to find answers to on the brand’s website. 

One element of sustainable hosiery is down to you. The aftercare of any garment is just as important as how it was made, and looking after your tights or stockings can help them last much longer. Check the washing and drying guidance from the brand, and if they’re made with synthetic fibers, you can use a Guppyfriend or similar bag to catch any microplastics that are released during the wash.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Men’s Shoes

In 2019, over 24.3 billion pairs of shoes were produced worldwide. This number is mind-boggling because there are just under 8 billion people on the planet. Not to mention that a large percentage of the world’s population can barely afford a single pair of shoes. 

The scarier part is that the footwear industry poses serious threats to our environment. During the manufacturing process, toxic chemicals are released into nature, and large quantities of carbon dioxide are emitted, contributing to climate change. And what about the impact of the millions of pairs of shoes that are disposed of each year?! 

 Just like fast fashion, the shoe industry is very harmful to the environment and factory workers, and we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to it. Whether you are looking for boots, sandals, sneakers, or dress shoes, try to support eco-friendly footwear brands that do not harm people and the planet.  

Shoes are made from different materials, and as you want them to be durable, these materials aren’t always perfect in terms of sustainability.

Fortunately, there are more and more sustainable footwear brands to choose from! Here is a list of 14 men’s shoe brands your feet and the planet will love! 

WHAT MAKES YOUR SHOES SUSTAINABLE?  

One of the most important things is that sustainable shoes are always high-quality, well-made and durable. They are shoes that you can wear for years without them falling apart. Also, remember to always buy comfortable shoes, so that you’ll actually wear them.  

The shoe brand needs to be transparent about who makes them, how and where. If the brand doesn’t disclose any information, it’s probably trying to hide its shady practices. Eco-friendly shoes are also made with more sustainable materials, like natural or recycled ones.  

WHAT ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS SHOULD YOU SEARCH FOR? 

Sustainable shoes are often made from recycled water bottles, organic cotton, wool, jute, or recycled rubber. Some brands are even using innovative techniques and make their soles with algae or sugarcane! 

Leather shoes are tricky, because the leather industry is very wasteful and polluting. But leather shoes generally last for years, are durable, and can often be repaired. So if you want to buy leather shoes, opt for more sustainable options, like chrome-free or vegetable-tanned leathers.  

You can also find leathers that are Gold certified by the Leather Working Group, which is an organization that audits tanneries and promotes more sustainable practices within the industry. 

 It’s difficult to find shoes that are 100% made from sustainable materials. But check out the following brands! They are making men’s shoes that are more eco-friendly and that your feet will love!

Sustainable Clothing Brands With Payment Plans

Supporting sustainable brands and investing in high-quality wardrobe staples inevitably costs money. Yet sometimes we don’t always have room in the budget when it’s time to buy a necessary item of clothing. Payment plans, or “Buy now, Pay Later,” are a wonderful solution to this. Today, numerous sustainable brands accept buy now, pay later providers like Afterpay, making sustainable clothing more accessible. 

In this article, we cover some of our favorite sustainable clothing brands that offer payment plans so you can shop sustainably without breaking the bank. 

What is Buy Now, Pay Later? 

The option to “buy now, pay Later,” is a relatively new feature that is now widely available. When you go to check out, you can choose to pay using the available buy now, pay later provider. This allows you to split up the full price of your order into interest-free payments at no additional cost. 

You’ll be directed to pay through the third party and you can pick the payment installment that works best for you. Most buy now, pay later apps offer four fixed installments every two weeks for free. 

However, if that frame doesn’t work for you, you can choose to pay smaller amounts over a longer timeframe with additional interest. The smaller the amount and the longer the time frame, the more interest they will charge, but it will be considerably less than the interest most credit cards charge. 

Some common buy now, pay later companies your favorite brands may partner with are: 

• Afterpay

• Klarna 

• Affirm

• Sezzle

• Four

• Zip

• Shop Pay

Why Are Payment Installments Important?

There are numerous reasons why it’s great for sustainable brands to offer the option to buy now and pay later. 

Sustainable fashion can be more expensive than fast fashion and for a good reason. Fast fashion is only cheap because it involves both exploitative labor and environmentally exploitative business practices. 

Sustainably made items cost more because workers are paid a fair, living wage, and the materials used are of higher quality. Plus, sustainable brands often use eco-friendly business practices and packaging, which also adds to the total cost. 

Sustainable products are more expensive to make and in turn cost us more to buy. You can read more about the true cost of sustainable manufacturing here. 

Having the option to pay in installments makes sustainable clothing more accessible. It makes it possible to invest in sustainably made, high-quality items even if you’re on a budget.

It’s important to note that we don’t encourage using payment plans as an excuse to buy more. It’s not sustainable to go into debt to purchase new clothing or to buy things that aren’t necessary. Paying through installments will hopefully prevent you from going into debt and allow you to support sustainable brands that may not be affordable upfront.

CUTE & Sexy SUSTAINABLE LINGERIE SETS

We wear underwear every single day on our most intimate body parts. For that reason, it is so important to choose comfortable lingerie that fits our bodies. Who likes wearing uncomfortable panties or bras digging into the skin?

However, comfort is not everything. I believe that wearing pretty undies and bras can positively affect our mood. Of course, they need to be comfortable, but why not add some beautiful, eye-catching details to them? For instance, when I wear fancy lingerie, I feel a lot more confident and attractive during the day. 

So if you want to feel extra feminine and empowered, or you wish to surprise your significant other, choose some fancy, lacy lingerie sets!

Unfortunately, the majority of lingerie sets on the market are made unethically, at the cost of the planet. They fall apart after a few wears, and you quickly need to repurchase new ones. 

The good news is that you can find undies and bras in line with your values. Many brands are making fancy, more sustainable lingerie sets, produced with workers’ wellbeing in mind. 

Stock up your drawers with some gorgeous, lacy lingerie sets from these 10 sustainable brands! 

WHAT MAKES A LINGERIE SET ECO-FRIENDLY?

Both the bra and the panties should be made with eco-friendly materials, such as organic, recycled or Oeko-Tex certified fabrics. That way, you are making sure the lingerie is safe for you and the planet.

An eco-friendly lingerie set is always well-made and high-quality so that it lasts through many washes without falling apart. 

It is also sweatshop-free, made by workers who are treated with dignity and paid fairly. 

WHAT SUSTAINABLE FABRICS SHOULD YOU SEARCH FOR?

Lingerie sets made with natural and biodegradable fabrics are ideal: they are more sustainable and a lot more breathable. You can find beautiful, fancy sets made with organic cotton, bamboo, cotton, or silk. 

However, it is not always easy to find pretty, lacy lingerie made with natural materials only. The stretchy part of undies and bras is hard to make without synthetic fabrics, so many sustainable brands still use synthetic fibers to make them. 

In this case, prefer recycled options when they are available. The most common ones are recycled nylon, recycled polyamide and recycled polyester. 

Some brands also use vintage fabrics: since they are pre-loved, those are inherently sustainable!  

NOW, OUR TOP PICKS FOR CUTE, ECO-FRIENDLY LINGERIE SETS:

The Fashion Industry & Its Contribution to Water Pollution

While we often hear about the impacts of the fashion industry on the climate, the fashion industry’s impact on water receives less attention. As we are all aware, water is a vital resource. The pollution that comes from clothing production not only harms the environment and human health, but decreases our ever-shrinking supply of drinking water.

Overall, fashion is one of the most water-intensive industries. As of 2020, the fashion industry uses over 79 trillion liters of water every year. And it doesn’t stop at water use; the creation of clothing also produces high levels of pollution, which has severe and far-reaching consequences.

This article explores how clothing production uses water, the impacts this water usage has, and solutions to the fashion industry’s water pollution.

Water and the Fashion Industry

Clothing relies on water in every stage of its lifecycle, from growing the actual fibers to throwing the clothes away. From production to disposal, the fashion industry has three major negative environmental impacts related to water: high water usage, high levels of chemical pollution, and high levels of physical microfiber pollution.

Water Usage

Our global water supply is severely threatened; it is estimated that over 2 billion people are already affected by water shortages in over 40 countries. As water scarcity increases globally, the fashion industry continues to exacerbate the problem.

The first step in clothing manufacturing is obtaining raw materials. For some clothes, this includes the production of polyester or other synthetic fabrics from plastic. For conventional cotton clothing, which makes up about 33% of all clothes, this includes growing the cotton. Growing cotton is extremely water-intensive, as it is one of the “thirstiest” crops. Simply making one cotton shirt can take up to 2700 liters of water, which is enough water for one person to drink for 2 ½ years. The water used for irrigating cotton has serious impacts on the environment and local communities, as it depletes drinking water in addition to precious aquifer and groundwater stores.

The actual processing of textiles (turning them from a raw material into a fabric) also uses immense amounts of water, and creates pollution.

Water Pollution

The main source of water pollution in the clothing production process is the “wet-processing” stage. After cotton has been spun and woven into fabric, it is wet-processed, in which the fabric is dyed, printed, and finished. Not only is this process water-intensive, but it also pollutes water.

Textile processing involves applying a huge amount of chemicals to the fabric. In fact, the process of turning raw materials into textiles often takes over 8000 different synthetic chemicals. One of the major chemical-culprits used in clothing manufacturing is chemical dye. It’s estimated that around 20% of all global water pollution comes from the dyeing of textiles. Unfortunately, the water used to apply chemicals and dye fabrics is often then dumped back into rivers and other waterways.

According to the 2016 documentary RiverBlue, which follows the textile industry’s contamination of China’s rivers, it’s estimated that around 70% of China’s freshwater is contaminated by 2.5 billion gallons of wastewater produced by the fashion industry. Unfortunately, this pollution is largely unregulated and continues to occur.

Microfibers

Finally, some types of clothing continue to pollute water even after they’ve made it into your closet! Many synthetic clothing fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, are actually made from plastic. When fabrics, begin to break down, they create “microfibers” that are spread through the natural environment. In the case of plastic-based fabrics like polyester and nylon, these small fibers that are dropped from clothing in use or when washed are actually microplastics, very small pieces of plastic that do not degrade over time.

When you wash your polyester clothing (such as athletic clothing), small pieces of the fabric enter the wash water, and eventually make their way into the ocean. Studies show that 35% of microplastics found in the ocean result from washing clothes made of synthetic material. These microplastics don’t just stay in one place, either, because water is an extremely efficient method of transport! Synthetic microfibers have been found in freshwater, in drinking water, and even in Arctic sea ice.

Lastly, when clothes are not recycled and are instead put into landfill, the fibers break down into microplastics. Because microplastics don’t degrade, they instead make their way into water sources over time.

Impacts of Fashion’s Water Pollution

The most obvious damage the fashion industry’s water use creates is harm to the environment. The introduction of toxic chemicals into water sources harms wildlife and destroys sensitive marine and freshwater environments. Some chemicals may also contribute to ocean acidification, which has far-reaching impacts throughout the marine food chain.

Water pollution from clothing production also harms human health. First, while not directly linked to water pollution, the chemicals used in textile manufacturing can have severe impacts on workers’ health. 

Additionally, chemical dumping into water supplies damages the health of nearby communities that depend on the water for resources, whether that’s drinking water or seafood. For example, shellfish often soak up toxic chemicals like AZO dyes from textile production, which can cause harm to people who eat them. 

The microfibers released from fabrics can cause health issues as well. Microplastics in seafood or drinking water are especially harmful, as ingestion can cause a variety of health problems.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Much of the change must come from the fashion industry itself. For example, manufacturers must invest in less water-intensive production methods, and find ways to reduce the amount of chemicals used in clothing production. For example, some companies are taking steps towards only using natural dyes, which have a much lower environmental impact. Many clothing companies also choose to follow guidelines from the Higg Index, a set of standards created by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition to help businesses ensure sustainable supply chains.

Some scientists are also working on solutions to clean chemicals from wastewater before it’s released into the environment. For example, one team of researchers believes that chitin, a biological chemical found in shells, can be used to filter chemicals out of the textile industry’s wastewater.

Increased regulation of the fashion industry’s wastewater habits is another step that will help reduce the amount of toxic chemicals in our waterways. While this has begun in some countries, more oversight is needed in many countries that produce large amounts of clothing, such as China.

Luckily, there are also a few things you can do to reduce the fashion world’s water use and pollution. For example, it’s important to buy new clothes only when you need them to reduce the amount of clothing (and waste) that is produced. Another great, sustainable option is to thrift clothes, rather than buying new. This also reduces the amount of new clothing that must be produced, and thus reduces the amount of water and pollution created in clothing production. Finally, consider recycling your clothes rather than just throwing them out. This will help reduce the amount of microplastics that make their way to the ocean from landfill.
