There’s absolutely no need to sacrifice your style when being a conscious consumer. In fact, it’s one of the biggest fashion trends right now. Many street style enthusiasts have embraced thrifting as a way to add unique and interesting pieces to their wardrobes. Unlike traditional retail stores that carry cookie-cutter styles and designs, charity shops offer a mix of vintage and modern that can be combined in endless ways. From oversized jackets to graphic tees, they offer a variety of fashionable finds that can be incorporated into many stunning outfits.

Additionally, the appeal of thrifting is related to hunting for the perfect addition to your wardrobe, which provides a sense of adventure. Finding what you’ve been looking for for (perhaps) months can be incredibly satisfying and rewarding. Collecting one-of-a-kind pieces requires more time than going into a store and buying whatever you want, which minimizes the number of items we purchase (that later end up in landfills).

Major companies are also finding ways to compete with the new, booming sustainable market. A worldwide brand, Patagonia, not only uses sustainable materials in its outerwear but also helps customers repair their clothing instead of buying new items. Levi’s has introduced a new collection, "Water<Less,” that uses up to 96% less water to create a pair of jeans.

Even luxury brands like Prada are taking more environmentally friendly approaches to fashion. Last year, they released a 48-piece collection crafted entirely of certified recycled gold and ethically sourced diamonds. It’s no secret that luxury brands hold a lot of cultural influence; therefore, this sustainable jewelry line sends a message that it’s necessary to challenge the industry to be more green.
