When juggling work, a social life, and the daily stresses of modern life, it can be tricky to find time to research and discover ethical and sustainable brands, despite our best intentions to do so. Instead, we often end up having to rush online or to our nearest high street, and purchase new clothes from fast fashion brands that are convenient, yes, but are also low quality and bad for the environment. 

That’s why we’ve compiled a guide of 30 brands for all occasions, so that whatever you’re looking for you can use this list to quickly and easily find a company that suits your needs and has exactly what you want.

Whether you’re in need of a swimsuit for your last minute mini break, or a suit for your new job, look no further – we have exactly what you’re looking for!

Reminder: Why should we be avoiding fast fashion?

Fast fashion is the mass production of clothes cheaply and quickly. Fast fashion brands often use fashion show trends and replicate these designs in large bulk, before replacing them with the next styles at an alarming rate.  

Clothes in a shop window - mostly jackets, coats, cardigans

The fast fashion industry continues to grow despite the infamously poor conditions for workers, and dire effects on our environment, with the industry contributing heavily to CO2 emissions, water usage, energy usage, and much more. 

What makes slow fashion brands better?

Slow fashion is the alternative to fast fashion that is slowly gaining traction as people become more aware of the impact that the fast fashion industry has on our world. It focuses on making products that are ethical and sustainable, putting people and the planet before profits!

They manufacture clothes that are designed to last as long as possible, rather than the throwaway items that we see in fast fashion stores.

Here are our best ethical and affordable, sustainable fashion brands

  1. Very good article. More and more customers are more aware and choose more environmentally friendly products. However, I think that one of the top brands that sets trends and is in no way inferior to any of the above-mentioned ones is missing here. Stanley Stella, because I’m talking about them, is a great alternative for those who are looking for quality and at the same time want to care for the environment.
