Being Green With Your Wardrobe: Eco-Friendly Fashion Tips For Guys and Gals

The best way to show off how Eco-friendly you are becoming, is to put a "green"spark in your own wardrobe.
Here are some types of clothing that are organic, meaning that the cloth is made from a natural substance. By having clothes made from organic fabrics, the clothes can be worn multiple times without wearing out as easily as designer brand clothes and the organic fashion trend is definitely on rise to become the newest hot thing to wear.


  • The most common organic fabric used in making clothes is cotton.  Cotton is a strong fabric that has many purposes in the fashion world...whether it is made into a dress or a even socks...cotton can be used in creating the multiple types of clothes. 





  • Another organic fabric that is growing to be a favorable fashion resource is hemp. Hemp is known for being very durable, has shown resistance to ultra-violet light and mold,  and with new technology of processing clothing the original coarse and rough form of the fabric is able to be made into a comfortable, soft cloth to wear. Also hemp is used in making other fashion statements with jewelry such as hemp bracelets and necklaces...which is a popular wardrobe accessory amongst every gal and guy. 

So I hope that helps you all choose a greener way to shop for clothes at the mall. 
And trust me, trying on something different in your wardrobe will definitely help you make an awesome fashion statement that will make all your friends to join  you in becoming an environmental conscious person.
