The Sustainable Work-Wear Brands To Know
Returning to the office? Starting a new job? Or maybe you just need a Good shirt for that Zoom meeting?
Here is our pick of the chicest, sustainable workwear brands to add to your new season wardrobe.
Bibi Blangsted
Bibi Blangsted is best known for their crisp white shirts, but don't limit yourself to plain collars and plain sleeves; there's a white shirt for everyone and every occasion, from the Classic Shirt to the Cuff Looped Shirt.
Bibi Blangsted is focused on responsiblility which for them starts at sourcing raw materials and choosing poplins based on the quality and development of the fibre.
Wright Le Chapelain
WLC has found a way to create classic and chic wardrobe pieces through charitable and sustainable efforts. From bags to suit trousers, everything designed by WLC is stylishly upcycled.
The founders’ focus on locality is reflected in their timeless collections; and materials are sourced from British heritage mills and organic cotton farms. The brand has also partnered with CRISIS, a UK charity that upcycles old garments into modern pieces to help people out of homelessness.
COMMON ODDS
COMMON ODDS is a New York-based everyday luxury womenswear brand that focuses on timeless pieces that evolve with you. From start to finish, all products are made with exceptional craftsmanship and great attention to detail, using high quality materials with character.
Each piece is meticulously designed with the intention of remaining in the wardrobe for many years to come. If you're looking for a statement-making item for a special event, meeting, or simply to impress, check out COMMON ODDS.
SKIIM Paris
Caroline Sciamma-Massenet, the founder of Skiim Paris, sources each component of the collection with an emphasis on craftsmanship, zero waste and minimal environmental impact..
SKIIM has expanded its product line to include accessories and ready-to-wear made of eco-friendly natural fibres that complement the brand's consciously sourced leather. The collections are style-driven rather than trend-driven, with an irreverent nod to the sex appeal and rebellion of French cinema and music ingenues from the 1960s and 1970s. Why not bring a bit of rock & roll to the office?
Envelope1976
Envelope1976 is an Oslo-based high-fashion label. Designed for a modern, quality-conscious woman who values sustainability. The brand's DNA is built on its timeless and eco-conscious natural materials, design and colour palette.
Each piece can be worn in a variety of ways. This is important to Envelope1976 because they believe it is more sustainable to consume garments that will last for years. It's not just the fabric that affects a garment's lifespan; it's also important that the design lasts and that you can find new ways to wear your pieces.
Shainamote
Shaina Mote's clothing is adaptable, classic and purposefully designed — pared-back pieces for people who have a lot going on. They believe in embracing what's thoughtfully purposeful, made to last, love and rediscover every season; and are inspired by the balance of beauty and utility.
Shaina's ethos and deep philosophy have remained at the core of her brand, with timeless pieces that embrace a circular production practise. The focus of the brand is on creating simple statement pieces that can be styled in a variety of ways. In or out of the office, your Shaina Mote clothing will remain timeless.
