Sustainable Style

I’ve talked a lot about the reasons you should go green with your purchases in beauty and fashion so I thought it would be good to share some ethical holiday dress picks here on the blog to prove that eco and ethical fashion can be both beautiful AND affordable.

There are several ways you can go about dressing ethically this holiday season.

The first is by purchasing a used dress at either a thrift store or consignment shop. You can find some wonderful vintage dresses there or on etsy and both have some really affordable and beautiful holiday dress options which will be eco-friendly.

If you want to abstain from purchasing anything which you don’t know the origin, the best way to go is with ethical holiday fashion picks from an etsy seller. One who hand makes their line of clothing. An online shop which specializes in selling only brands which craft their clothing from sustainable, local, and ethically traced sourced.

They also tend to use earth-friendly materials, fight for a fair wage and fair trade when purchasing materials, and usually avoid using animal materials on the whole. Some of these can be on the more expensive side of things, but you may be surprised at how many of these options are either on-par with your regular holiday dress options or even cheaper, in some cases. I’ve gathered a few of my favorite ethically made holiday dresses you can wear this holiday season without a care ♥

Braintree Clothing makes a number of ethical fashion pieces and this shirt dress looks like a gorgeous classy dress pick, especially if you live in a colder area!
