So you want to shop more sustainably, but don’t know where to start? Thankfully, gone are the days where eco-conscious fashion was only shapeless hemp dresses. There are tons of amazing modern brands that create beautiful clothing with a lower environmental impact, have ethical production practices, and/or philanthropy programs to improve the communities around them! Below are 7 of my favorite labels to shop at. I hope you find some to connect with!
