The best sustainable fashion you can buy right now to dress well without destroying the planet
*Article updated on July 15, 2021.
The figures, increasingly alarming, do not lie: sustainable fashion must become a cult to practice in the textile industry, the second most polluting in the world, in favor of a planet Earth with a future.
Let the data catch you sitting. As Vestiaire Collective, the second-hand luxury fashion online platform, shared, on Earth Day, more than 4,700 tons of clothing are made every second, which is equivalent to the weight of eight double-decker planes; fashion production emits 66 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, the same as going around the planet five times by car; and 15 kilos of synthetic fibers are dumped into the ocean.

The problem? What has long been a wake-up call to carry out more responsible practices is years away from becoming an irremediable reality -if it isn't already-. Hence, many firms of different kinds have begun to recode themselves to alleviate excesses and produce sustainable fashion both in terms of materials and in terms of production, social and corporate responsibility, etc.
There are two ways to join the sustainable fashion trend. On the one hand, you can buy second-hand stores and platforms, such as Vestiaire Collective, The RealReal and Grailed, to stretch out the years of life of garments that their first owners no longer want or need. On the other, make a list of those 'eco' brands with which to orchestrate a more responsible wardrobe. The investment of money will be greater, yes, but so will be your commitment to Mother Earth.
