Where to Shop Eco & Ethical Fashion

The most common question I get about sustainable and ethical fashion is, “Where can I shop?”

Here’s my go-to list of eco and ethical retailers and brands, which will be continually updated as I find more brands I love.

Want to know where I got that one thing you saw on my Instagram that one time? Shop my Instagram here!

Key:

(S) = sustainable, (E) = ethical, (V) = vintage/secondhand, (H) = independent artisan/handmade, (POC) = person/people-of-color-owned, (W) = woman-owned

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links, which means that I may make a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. I’ve only included retailers and brands that I have shopped from, or would shop from, myself, and meet my standards for ethical and sustainable practices (learn more about what “ethical” and “sustainable” mean here).

Instagram post 17879146526320943 I haven’t been feeling super inspired lately, but I put on this fit and realized I just needed to dress like a rainbow snow cone 🌸

sweater and skirt from @nuuly, a rental subscription that I’m trying out (gifted). so far, I’ve found that it’s a good way to try out styles I would be too afraid to buy, or to wear trendy pieces I wouldn’t usually invest in bc ✨slow fashion✨. the clothes do come with more wear than I expected, but I like that they dry clean and repair for you.

Instagram post 17891681210071778 two things can be true at once. for example:

I do not want to be perceived

I am also addicted to posting pictures of my outfits online for external validation 🙃

Instagram post 17902114213808054 no thoughts, head empty 🌸

one thing I’ve realized this year is that the world will always seem to punish you for taking a break, because ✨capitalism✨. our society, our workplaces, social media are structured to make you feel like you’re falling behind if you aren’t constantly doing something. but rest is its own reward, and that’s a lesson I’m still trying to internalize.

Instagram post 17867289293458997 #ad // raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by your period 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
period panties have completely changed my relationship to my period! I feel ✨free✨ while secure from leaks, and combined with my menstrual cup, I haven’t had to use disposable tampons or pads in years.⁣
⁣
@periodaisle recently launched a thong style that’s perfect for light days. I swear, it DOES NOT leak—I just wore mine for day 1 of my period and felt 100% safe. (note: I do have a lighter flow because I have an IUD!)⁣
⁣
@periodaisle is committed to sustainability and responsible manufacturing, and is B-Corp certified. I also love that the brand aims to be inclusive of all people who have periods, no matter their gender! 💗⁣

my cats truly are part of my family! we’ve been through health scares and shocking vet bills, so having pet insurance gives us that peace of mind.⁣

thanks @PetsBestInsurance for partnering with me and Kimchi! (Kiwi is not in this photo because he was on strike for a 50% raise in tuna treats, but he’ll pout about Kimchi being more famous than him later 😾)⁣

Instagram post 17877688520303515 #ad // pov: we’re on a post-pandemic coffee date and you’re telling me about all the times you almost gave yourself quarantine bangs ☕️⁣
⁣
one of the things I miss most about pre-pandemic life is going to coffee shops. the silver lining is that I’ve learned how to make my favorite drinks at home!⁣
⁣
when I drink coffee, creamer is a must. @honestogoodness is a new plant-based creamer that’s part of the B-Corp movement. it’s the perfect replacement for dairy creamers and tastes just as good (maybe even better, in my opinion!).⁣

I love that Honest to Goodness also gives back to the communities where their ingredients are grown by helping to promote reforestation in Madagascar!⁣
