9 Chic, Eco-Friendly Fashion Pieces That Are Easy On Your Wallet Too

November 26, 2019
9 Chic, Earth-Friendly Fashion Pieces That Are Easy On Your Wallet Too

For years, whenever the terms “eco-friendly” or “sustainable” were used to describe a fashion brand, one would think of bland, neutral-toned clothing that came at a hefty price. But with more people beginning to gain awareness of their carbon footprint, many brands have followed suit, choosing to develop their clothing and accessories brands with ethical means in mind, while still remaining affordable and stylish.

With that in mind, we asked Stephanie Dickson, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Green Is The New Black to curate a list of her favourite eco-friendly and sustainable fashion brands. The best part? All the items are $200 or less. Scroll through to see her picks.
