10 Sustainable Fashion Bloggers To Follow For Ethical Fashion Choices

Lucy Shea, CEO of the sustainability brand called Futerra, said: "The revolution will look fabulous." However, starting a fashion revolution is difficult if you do not have a tribe. And so here's a list of 10 best sustainable fashion bloggers to follow.

What is sustainable fashion, and why does it matter? Although there is some debate as to the actual numbers, some say that fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world after oil. Here are some headline statistics:

  • Making our clothes consumes 10% of the world's carbon[1]
  • One garbage truck of textiles is wasted every second[2]
  • The fast fashion industry creates 20% of wastewater globally[1]
  • Fashion suppliers manufacture 63% of our clothes from synthetic oil-based raw materials
  • In the last 15 years, clothing production has doubled[2]
  • We're missing out on $460bn worth of value by throwing out clothes that could continue to be worn[2]

We must think more ethically and sustainably about our clothing and fashion choices. Check out our selection of sustainable fashion bloggers.

Many feature and celebrate ethical clothing brands doing their part to help reduce the impact of fast fashion. These brands' blogs will not only give you some style inspiration, but they are also an excellent place to find like-minded people who share your interests in ethical fashion.

You'll also find many champion recycling and upcycling of fashion. Buying second-hand from one of our picks of the best online thrift stores can help you make a positive step toward helping the environment.

As you explore their pages, be sure to interact, ask questions, let them know that you appreciate their contributions, and make a friend or two!

10 Sustainable Fashion Bloggers to Follow

1. Sustainably Chic

Sustainably Chic Responsible Fashion Blog

The Sustainably Chic blog is popular for the latest news from sustainable fashion brands, green beauty, and eco-friendly fashion advice. Natalie, a woman with an already budding career in fashion, started the blog in 2014.

She quickly realized that although she was in the industry, she wanted a way to express her disagreements with ethical standards and share her personal style.

Hence, Sustainably Chic was born. Natalie has written the blog for seven years and offers tons of eco-friendly fashion advice. My favorite part is the conscious list section, where you can find helpful lists on everything from ethically made rompers to sustainable nursing clothing, all from ethical fashion brands carefully selected for their eco values.
