11 Fashion Forward Sustainable Clothing Brands

One misconception about sustainable fashion is the idea that you have to sacrifice style. Sure, at one point ‘eco-fashion’ was all baggy clothing and flax colors, but nowadays there are plenty of fashion forward options to ensure your doing good for the environment and your body. While there are tons and tons of brands out there, I did the hard work for you and identified 11 of my favorite slow fashion brands. Whether they are fair trade, eco-friendly, giving back or working with artisans, these brands all show that you can still look killer without killing the environment!

11 Fashion Forward Sustinable Clothing Brands

  • Reformation

  • Price $$
  • Fashion forward, trend-driven silhouettes,  in timeless colors and fabrications. Each piece of clothing is measured in its environmental savings, from Carbon Footprint to Water Usage, and most items are made locally in LA. Fibers and dyes are also sustainably sourced to provide ‘cradle to cradle’ reusability and reduce environmental impact. Bonus- the stores and offices also are made with sustainable material and use excess water drainage to feed nearby gardens and parks!
  • Must Have Items: Silk georgette wrap dresses and retro two piece sets

best Sustainable Fashion Brands - Reformation

  • St. Roche

  • Price $$$
  • This sustainable fashion brand works with carefully selected manufacturing partners in India and Peru, who are committed to honest and ethical labor practices. They choose the eco-friendly option wherever possible incorporating GOTS certified organically grown and locally woven cottons, biodegradable Tencel, and sustainably produced knitwear in their collections.
  • Must Have Items: Embroidered vacation dresses like the Willow Dress and Charlotte Dress

  • Mara Hoffman

  • Price $$
  • Mara Hoffman has been around for a while, but has started to incorporate more and more sustainable techniques in their sourcing and production process. Fabrics like Nylon made from recycled plastic bottles,  Polyester made from post consumer recycled polymers, Cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard, Lenzing Tencel, Modal or Rayon made from the pulp of sustainably harvested trees are regularly in their rotation. Also, they work with Austrian mill who primarily uses renewable energy in processing and reuses their chemicals in a closed loop system in order to decrease waste. Plus, this stuff is CUTE.
