Sustainability. It’s everywhere these days, from grocery stores to clothing brands (like us!). But what does it actually mean? And when it comes to fashion, can we wade through the sea of terms and make truly informed choices?
At Evolv Clothing, we believe transparency is key. That’s why we’re breaking down some common sustainability buzzwords to empower you, our valued customer, to shop consciously.
Sustainable Fashion: Beyond the Buzz
Sustainable fashion goes way beyond just trendy fabrics. It’s a holistic approach that considers the entire lifecycle of a garment, from the raw materials used to the working conditions in factories and the ultimate fate of the clothing after you’re done with it. Here’s a breakdown of some key terms you’ll encounter:
- Eco-Friendly Materials: This refers to fabrics that have a lower environmental impact. Think organic cotton, recycled polyester, or materials derived from plants like linen and hemp.
- Ethical Production: This focuses on fair labor practices. Are workers treated humanely? Are they paid a living wage? Ethical fashion ensures fair treatment throughout the supply chain.
- Circular Fashion: This concept aims to keep clothes in circulation for as long as possible. Think buying second-hand, swapping clothes with friends, or supporting brands that offer repair services.
