6 Arguments For And Against Reselling Secondhand Clothes

Secondhand shopping is one of the most affordable ways to participate in sustainable fashion, but the landscape in this industry is changing. Thrifting has now become a trend and the practice of reselling pre-loved clothes has gained significant traction. Questions have arisen about the ethics of reselling, particularly when it comes to issues like pricing, accessibility and the environmental impact. It seems this debate has largely been polarised into two extremes. For this article, I researched both sides and gathered arguments for and against reselling secondhand clothes. I am hoping this overview will make it easier for you to form an opinion. At the end, I will also share my own thoughts and where I stand on this topic…

This Is Why Air Drying Is Better Than Tumble Drying

Every choice we make can have a profound impact on the environment. When there’s a machine or tool that can make our daily lives easier and more comfortable, we are always quick to purchase it. But have we gone too far? Where do we draw the line between necessity and excessiveness? Maybe some of the products the corporate world is giving us, are not the best choice for us and the planet. In this article, we’re going to look at what tumble dryers are doing to our clothes and the environment, and why you should consider the natural and sustainable alternative to dry your laundry…

6 Reasons Why Sewing Can Be A Sustainable Hobby 

A sewing machine used to be one of those appliances you could find in every household. Before ready-to-wear clothes completely took over, most of a family’s clothing was home-made. In today’s fashion industry that is filled with cheap mass-produced clothes, sewing at home is not a necessity anymore. I’m not saying we should go back to the old times and start making all of our own clothes again. I know not everyone has time to sew, not everyone would enjoy it and not everyone would be skilled at it. But I do believe even just learning about sewing and trying it out could have positive effects and reduce some of the negative impacts fashion currently has on the world. This can be indirectly by changing your attitude towards fashion, or directly by taking control over parts of the production process and thus minimizing the impact. In this article, you can read 6 ways sewing can contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry. If you are creative by nature or you have an interest in learning new skills, now might be the perfect time to try out this new hobby…

The 20 Best Sustainable Alternatives To Levi’s Jeans

Levi’s is one of the oldest and most well-known denim companies in the world. Usually when I find sustainable alternatives and compare brands, I’m talking about polluting and problematic fast-fashion brands. In this case, Levi’s is not so much fulfilling the same role as they are making an effort to become more sustainable. However, there are many smaller denim companies who have had sustainability as their main priority since their inception and are continually innovating ways to make jeans better for planet and people. The initiatives of these sustainable brands are often drowned out by advertisements of big brands, while they are actually a lot further along on their sustainability journey than Levi’s is. In this post, I analyse 20 Levi’s jeans and present to you similar ones that are more responsibly-made. And before you think they will be way outside your budget: half of them are around the same price and some even cheaper. So if you can afford Levi’s, you can also afford these more sustainable ones…

How To Make Black Friday Sustainable + All Eco Fashion Deals 2023

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but some people are way more excited for the event that takes place a month before: Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For anywhere between one day and a few weeks, stores all over the world offer massive discounts, and this year’s Black Friday is right around the corner. Ethically Dressed was created to research sustainable fashion and promote brands that have a positive impact on the world. A huge sales event like Black Friday naturally encourages overconsumption because it allows consumers to purchase more than they usually could and would. So can sustainable fashion and Black Friday coexist? Spoiler: yes, you have the ability to make conscious decisions while still getting involved in the discounts. In this article, I’ll explain why Black Friday is generally a harmful time of the year, how you can still engage in it sustainably, and you can see a list of sustainable brands that are offering deals this year…

What Is The “PETA-Approved Vegan” Certification in Sustainable Fashion?

While reading up on sustainable fashion, you might come across a PETA-Approved logo on products or on websites. This is a certification that is especially interesting for those of you who want to avoid wearing animal-products because you live a vegan lifestyle or for other reasons. It’s important to understand what this label means, and most importantly, what is doesn’t mean. We’ll summarize the true meaning at the end of the article. First, I’ll give an explanation of PETA and their “Approved Vegan” certification, how a brand or product can be awarded this label, and you can see some sustainable clothing brands that offer PETA-certified options…
