This week, I’d like to talk about vegan clothes, specifically clothes without polyester. Lately, I’ve been wanting to invest into quality clothes that I do not need to continue rebuying. I’ve noticed a trend in current social media where consumers are becoming more and more aware of what they are purchasing. They’ve taken notice that even pieces that cost significantly more than fast fashion are still made of polyesters and other plastic material blends. This led me to think about what kinds of options vegans and plant-based people have when it comes to buying genuine, vegan, food quality clothes. Below is a list I’ve compiled of vegan clothing that will last hopefully forever, where you can buy nice instead of buy twice.
