Sustainable Underwear
Our take
Hi! As the title says, I'm trying to find sustainable underwear not made from synthetic fibers. I'm starting to become more and more conscious of just the lack of quality with clothing recently, and I want to make a big switch in my life and closet. For most items, I know to just thrift or buy second hand. But with things like underwear, bras, and swimwear I have no clue where to start or what to do. I just can't imagine ever wanting to use second hand underwear haha. I am a college student who still relies on my parents for most things, so finding new cheap sustainable clothing is a struggle. Are there any good sustainable brands that won't break the bank? I'm okay with splurging because I know quality comes at a cost, but I would still prefer the cheapest choice because times aren't really allowing for dropping hundreds of dollars on 7 pairs of underwear. Would learning to sew and create my own underwear be the best bang for my buck? Is it a difficult process? Sorry for all these questions haha, I'm just starting out. Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you :)

- How to find truly sustainable fashion brands online?Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking a lot about sustainable fashion and wanted to get some honest opinions from people who actually care about it. I feel like it’s still weirdly hard to find brands that are truly sustainable, easy to shop, and also just things people actually want to wear. So I’m curious: What do you look for first when shopping sustainably? What makes you trust a brand vs. think it’s just greenwashing? How do you find sustainable clothes/brands online? Is there a good online platform only for sustainable fashion? Would better search or filters actually help, or is that not really the problem? Would love to hear any thoughts, frustrations, or things you think are missing. Cheers! submitted by /u/AdFun7690 [link] [comments]
- How to feel comfortable in and love what you wear, whilst also retaining sustainable values?I’ve been thinking a lot about sustainability vs changing personal style, and I feel a bit stuck between the two. On one hand, I completely understand that our tastes change over time. On the other hand, I was raised to *never* get rid of things... Now when I think about sustainable fashion, I feel really conflicted. Part of me believes clothes should be worn until they’re completely worn out. Another part of me recognises that I’ve changed, and forcing myself to wear things I no longer feel good in doesn’t seem healthy either. So I’m curious how others approach this: • How do you balance evolving style with sustainability? (what I like in certain styles of clothing can change every couple of years.) • What do you do with clothes you no longer feel like 'you' in, even if they’re still in good condition? • Are there systems (swaps, resale, etc.) that actually work well in practice? I really want to be more mindful and less wasteful, but I also want to feel comfortable and like myself in what I wear. Would love to hear how others navigate that balance. I also don't have a toooon of disposable income right now, so cheaper options would be amazing. (if it is made ethically, of course, and if the quality is up to scratch) submitted by /u/Majestic_Reply9704 [link] [comments]
