Does anyone know a good nipple cover made by an ethically sourced and made brand. I understand some products and brand aren’t ever perfectly ethical, but does anyone know the most ethical ones! Additionally if anyone knows any good boy shorts I’d love a tip on that as well!

Any thoughts about the Sustainability of puffer jackets? Yes they are filled with super good quality down but still made of (polluting) plastic (polyester nylon). Would you buy the same performing jacket but plastic-free? Made with new high tech bio-materials? And, say, half the price? Or the brand is everything? Thanks for discussing..

How reliable do you find the brand ratings on Good On You vs. Eco-Stylist?

I tend to use Good On You as my default, but I just noticed that while Scotch and Soda has a "we avoid" rating on Good On You (I think it used to be "not good enough" so I guess it went down?), the same brand is rating silver on Eco-Stylist with a quite good review. And some of the reasons why seem to directly contradict!

I know each website's criteria is slightly different but that feels like a huge disparity, so I'd love to know who you trust and why!

Anyone know some good webshops for ethical shoes and clothes that don’t comprimise on design and also don’t cost a fortune?😅 or am I hoping for too much here?…

I used to love love love kimchi blue and some of the other products that sold through UO, as well as some of their designs. Just can’t bring myself to buy anything from the company anymore. I thrift most of the items I have from UO, but is there a clothing company with similar designs?

Hello, I am currently writing an Essay on the effects Fast Fashion has had on the average consumer and also the industry itself.

It would be really helpful to get some answers to the questions below. I don’t mind if your answer is a sentence or a paragraph long. I’d just really appreciate if anyone was able to take the time to answer any number of the questions below.

Thank you.

1. What’s your opinion on Fast Fashion brands?

(like Shien for example.)

2. Why would you consider buying or not buying from a Fast Fashion Retailer?

3. Have you seen a change in what people are wearing around you as Fast Fashions have become more prominent?

4. Have you been suprised by brands following the Fast Fashion Model?

(an example being Zara, many people are suprised as they do well at keeping a facade.)

5. How has Fast Fashion effected you?

I am currently updating my husband's wardrobe and I'm interested in getting him a subscription box since this would be a full rework of his entire wardrobe. Most of what he currently has is being taken to secondhand shops or donated, so his old clothes aren't going to waste. The issue we're having right now though, is most of these subscription boxes like StitchFix, send mostly items manufactured in China. My husband doesn't support clothing manufacturing from China, and would like to get clothes not made there. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Note for transparency: I personally have gotten boxes from StitchFix from myself, hence why I know they mostly sell items manufactured in China. -We do wardrobe updates every two years or so, It allows us to replace damaged items with fresh items, as well as replace items we can no longer wear due to weight change. (I personally have dropped five sizes since 2022)

I love everything about her and the brand, what she stands for, her designs, their marketing and messages they put out in the world.

Wondering what other people’s opinions are?

Not sure how to explain it but pretty much "opium" fashion with baggy and faded silhouettes, or like affliction southpole 2000s skater shit . stuff like jaded london tripp nyc affliction but ethical. Only thing I can really get like that is just shit from ebay/depop/grailed but resellers tax too much.

hey! my friend and I are making eco-friendly swimwear, but got stumped with bra inserts and thread. we definitely want to use a polyester thread or something sturdy (it needs to last in the water), but were having trouble finding a recycled PET option or something similar. we've been struggling especially with the bra inserts, and are trying to find something that's possibly a recycled nylon or polyester- but anything works as long as it's better than what tends to be the non-ethical and non-eco-friendly standard! We also want ethical brands, but pls mention any regardless of their ethical status- even if a company isn't ethical, I'll totally fall down the rabbit hole and find similar options that ARE lol (dw we won't use them if they aren't). if anyone has any suggestions pls let us know! thanks! :)

More specifically organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo materials - and preferably an Australian company but I’ll still consider if not - as long as it ships here. Just overwhelmed with trying to figure out where to buy from. Would really appreciate hearing your opinions, experiences and recommendations. :)

And even many brands that stopped using fur are still using real leather, why? It makes no sense

I usually only wear thongs because of this. Really like the ARQ and Jungmaven undies but they are too thick to wear with tight jeans. Any reviews or suggestions?

I got this sweater sometime in high school, I don’t remember where. The label says jolt. It’s 95% acrylic and 5% nylon. The body section is completely stretched out and no longer lays correctly. I can sew but I’ve never attempted to sew a knit material before. Any advice would be great!

I just found out that the lipstick I’d been buying new units for the last 3 years has a refill policy. I could’ve just refilled my favourite color, and it would’ve saved me money too. Seems like a good direction towards reducing single-use packaging and adapting sustainability. But I doubt, Is it accessible to all? while I live in a large city, what about the customers that aren’t. How are the brands ensuring that this refill program is available to remote locations?

I’m sure that the process of collection, recycling, and refill is complex and time-consuming, which makes it challenging for most budget-restricted brands. But if this concept is not scallable than it doesn’t make any big impact on planet.

If you’re founder or leader of any such brands, how are you making sure that your vision of circular packaging is correctly reaching out to your customers?

Just discovered this sub, and was wondering:

Does anyone else find it hard to find clothes that won’t contribute to microplastic pollution?

So many clothes are made primarily out of various plastics now, and a lot of them shed plastic lint and plastic particles while being worn and washed.

It seems like office clothes especially are bad when it comes to this. Why are they all plastic? It seems the only time they aren’t is when they cost hundreds of dollars. Even products meant to address the microplastics problem are expensive - I saw a plastic lent catcher at an aquarium recently and it cost like $60 and it still left the problem of what do you do with that plastic lint.

If anyone has suggestions on how to get more budget friendly yet non-polluting clothing, I’d love to hear them! I’ve tried thrifting, but I usually can’t find things that fit me in actual thrift stores or online ones.

I am looking for a black top and bottom set to wear for airplane and train travel. I need something comfy but still structured, not slouchy like pajamas. Does this exist??

Does anyone recommend brands for quality women's underwear? Or brands for seamless ones?
