10 Sustainable Fashion Items Influencers Love

Would you like to level up your approach on sustainability into your clothing and lifestyle? Fashion can be sustainable, and these fashion influencers are here to prove that.

According to The New York Times, "On average, each American produces about 75 pounds of textile waste per year." Instead of choosing price over quality, we should keep in mind that most of these "cheaper" options end up costing more in the long run.

Clothing production creates a large carbon footprint, and there are ways to make a more conscious choice. On the other hand, fast fashion brands strategically focus on selling low-priced items at high volumes, encouraging customers to shop regularly. But as we said, you can change your approach and live a conscious life in many ways. Just follow these influencers' lead!
