Guide to My Favorite Sustainable* Brands

A reminder (mostly to myself): the most eco-friendly thing you can do is just wear what you already have. Second best option is to shop secondhand. But if you decide to buy new shiz, here are some good options!

If you like LOFT … try AMOUR VERT

If you like ANTHROPOLOGIE … try SEZANE and BALZAC

If you like MADEWELL … try NISOLO (shoes/accessories) and FRANK AND OAK (clothing)

If you like AMERICAN APPAREL … try UNIVERSAL STANDARD

If you like ANN TAYLOR … try VETTA CAPSULE and MODERN CITIZEN

If you like TALBOT’S … try EILEEN FISHER

If you like J.CREW … try CUYANA and SUMMERSALT

If you like ABERCROMBIE … try MARINE LAYER

If you like SAKS and NORDSTROM … try THE REALREAL

If you like PANDORA … try ANA LUISA

If you like ALTAR’D STATE … try CHRISTY DAWN

If you like ADIDAS … try VEJA

If you like STITCH FIX … try MATERIAL WORLD

If you like to splurge on designer bags … try REBAG

If you like H&M, ZARA, etc., search for those brands on secondhand sites like POSHMARK or THREDUP

*Just a reminder that there is no real definition of what a “sustainable” brand is, and there’s no Sustainability Czar that can tell us who’s doing it right and who’s melting the ice caps. But some companies are certainly trying harder than others. The above are all brands/retailers that I’ve looked into and/or bought from and I am happy to support. But these are all my own opinions and you are certainly free to form your own opinions, which may be different from mine.
