Gallery: Eco-friendly winter fashion

Ever feel eco-guilt over marching out of Primark, arms weighed down by thirty quid’s worth of tops and dresses you might only wear a few times? Us too. But there is a way to feel better: if we all cut down on disposable fashion and chose eco-friendly clothes every now and again, the world would probably heave a little sigh of relief (and so would we).

Not that we’re trying to guilt-trip you. Ethical shopping can be just as enjoyable as a trip down the high street – the only difference is you’ll have to do most of the shopping online instead. Everyone’s aware that there’s loads of choice on offer these days, but you might not know where to look, so we’ve compiled a gallery of some of our favourite ethical clothes on sale now, to suit most budgets. Some are fair trade, while others use sustainable or organic fabrics, and all of our picks make a lesser impact on the planet.

It’s a good idea to go for more classic designs when picking eco-friendly fashion, since the point of it is to invest rather than buy something you won’t wear in a year’s time. Our picks are the sort of items of clothing that have timeless cool.

Hopefully it will inspire you to look slightly more further afield for your next fashion fix. Make sure you check out the online stores we’ve featured. (And don’t forget second hand is just as good, so hit up the charity or vintage shops too this winter.)
