We all want to wear clothes that feel comfortable and make us look good. Increasingly, feeling comfortable in your clothes means knowing they were produced in an ethical and sustainable manner.

Keep an eye out for brands that only release a new collection once or twice per year. The companies committed to this ethical business model will use terms such as ‘mindful consumption’ and ‘slow fashion’ in their marketing materials. read more
