Sustainable Athleisure Brands for Cozy Travel
If you, like me, resolved to wear more sustainable clothing in 2020, one of the best places to start is to focus on a style that you wear that most. If you are even more like me, then athleisure is the clear and easy starting point. In case you’re unfamiliar, athleisure is more than just a clothing style…it’s a lifestyle. It’s comfortable, it’s chic, it’s my go-to style for travel because I can sit comfortably on a plane or train and hop off looking hip. It says, “I care about style, but I also love to be comfortable.” Well, with now your clothes can also say “I care about my appearance and the planet, but I also love to be comfortable,” if you shop the below ethical and sustainable activewear brands:
Girlfriend's Collective - With a firm belief that “old water bottles and fishing nets look better on you than they do clogging landfills and polluting oceans” (we couldn’t agree more, btw), and since most fabrics commonly used for activewear are made using plastic, they decided to use recycled post-consumer water bottles to make theirs. Their clothing is also size-inclusive and sport a functionally minimalist aesthetic.
Groceries Apparel - You’ve likely heard of “farm-to-table” dining, but have you heard of “farm-to-factory” fashion? Well, now you have, and Groceries Apparel is making it cool. Not only do they feel oh-so-yummy on your skin, but the LA-based brand is committed to crafting clothes using 100% organic and recycled materials, following the production cycle every step of the way to ensure ethical production and better-for-you products.
Satva - Satva’s clothes are simple, beautiful and incomparably ethical. Not only do they use sustainably-made fabrics, but through a partnership with Suminter India Organics®, an environmental and socially conscious organic cotton production corporation in India, they are able to re-invest in and help support the local agricultural community with which they do business.
