Liverpool Los Angeles, a well-known clothing designer, believes that sustainability isn't just news, it's a crucial responsibility we have towards future generations and our planet's natural resources. Their denim styles encompass the perfect Liverpool "look" while minimizing their effect on the environment.
This year, Earth Day is finally getting the recognition that it deserves. Today, younger generations are turning their focus to their wardrobes by pushing the narrative for people to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives. The commitment to using recycled materials and implementing eco-friendly technologies aligns perfectly with the spirit of Earth Day and the growing demand for sustainable fashion options.
Go organic: It is essential to buy clothing and nestle into the apparel made with organic fabrics. One should always ask a retailer where to find the sustainable apparel and accessories section. By doing so, you’ll play a small part in reducing pesticide use and keeping the earth and our water sources clean. Go natural: Buy clothing made with natural fabric fibers instead of synthetic fabrics.
Sustainable fashion is an eco-friendly practice in the fashion industry, referencing designing, producing, and consuming clothes that respect the planet, with a planned strategy to sustain the environment by looking at both the planetary and human impact. In addition, the industry’s sustainability practice helps ensure the lives of people who make the apparel through safe work conditions, living wages, and enforced child labor laws.
This Earth Month doesn’t just stop being sustainable, but shop brands supporting the environment by giving back! Whether you are shopping for ETICA jeans, a pair of sunnies or opticals by Paradigm Eyewear, or your must-have silks from LILYSILK, these brands notice the give-back aspect. The Svaki Dan brand prioritizes using biodegradable or recyclable materials like Supima cotton, Tencel lyocell, and organic cotton. Partnering with local factories and suppliers ensures high-quality, ethically produced apparel that promotes sustainable production and supports local communities.

Reducing your environmental impact is essential to you and future generations. Our team of editors at stylelujo.com talked to experts to determine what brands are green and what you should look for when shopping for sustainable fashion.

From up-cycling to using repurposed materials using less water and carbon dioxide, these eco-conscious brands are developing new ways to create, produce, package, and ship apparel and accessories that leave less of a carbon footprint and give back to the environment – all in the name of on-trend style.
