the most earth-centered choice is to opt out of buying anything new and start with what you already own. mend, alter, or repurpose pieces that simply need a refresh. when releasing items from your wardrobe, be mindful of where they will end up please no landfills. pass things on to friends, donate locally, resell, or recycle thoughtfully.

if you do choose to invest in something new, look first to vintage or pre owned, or support brands that prioritize more conscious and sustainable practices. below is a list of brands that lean toward a more earth conscious approach. good on you is a resource that rates brands for level of ‘sustainability’

fabrics

another layer to consider is what your clothes are actually made of. fibers carry energy, frequency, and impact long before they become a garment.

where possible, opt for natural, organic, and regenerative fibers like organic cotton, linen, hemp, wool, alpaca, silk, and cashmere. these materials come from living systems, biodegrade at end of life, and tend to age beautifully rather than break down quickly.

linen and hemp are especially earth friendly since they require less water and fewer inputs. wool is naturally temperature regulating, antimicrobial, and long lasting when cared for well. regenerative fibers go one step further by actively supporting soil health and biodiversity rather than simply doing less harm.

be mindful of synthetics and blends. materials like polyester, nylon, and acrylic are plastic based, shed microplastics, and hold lower vibrational qualities. even recycled synthetics still behave like plastic in the body and the environment.
