Sustainable Clothing Brands: The Hotlist.

Fast fashion is defined as 'inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends'- in other words, it's over consumption at a cheap price, on a mass scale. You might be thinking, cheap clothes- what's the problem? Well, unfortunately, it comes with a huge cost.

Fast fashion has many damaging consequences, including unfair wages, poor working conditions and a devastating impact on the environment. From the huge amount of energy it takes to create such a vast amount of garments, to the toxic dyes that pollute surrounding water sources, fashion produces around a tenth of the world's carbon emissions.

It's understandable that switching to more sustainable clothing options isn't always that feasible- but, we think a little goes a long way. If you're looking to invest in some more eco-friendly pieces for your wardrobe, check out these incredible brands and do your bit for the planet.

Pact is a brand that specialises in organic cotton basics, making it great for investing in staple pieces for your wardrobe. Through growing cotton organically, vast amounts of water and toxic chemicals are saved, plus, the brand partners with Fair Trade Certified factories, which ensures workers are both treated and paid fairly. These factories aim to empower and uplift local communities and protect the environment- which are crucial to becoming a sustainable, ethical brand. We also love that Pact offset their carbon and use packaging that have a minimal footprint on the earth.
