Sweatshirts to hold on to
First, let's talk about the idea of a "capsule wardrobe." It's like having a small collection of clothes that mix and match perfectly. Sustainable sweatshirts are great for a capsule wardrobe because they're versatile. And you can wear them with lots of different outfits, and always keep one with you on the go.
Now, what makes these sweatshirts "sustainable"? It means they're made in a way that doesn't harm the environment. The clothes are made with eco-friendly materials and methods — such as material that has been recycled or is made from organic natural fibres.
But that's not all! Sustainable fashion isn't just about the earth. It's also about treating the people who make the clothes fairly — by getting paid well and working in safe conditions.
So, when you wear sustainable sweatshirts, you're not only looking stylish but also making a positive impact. Check out some of our favourites.
