The term “ethical fashion” or “sustainable fashion” is most often used to describe brands that are environmentally and socially conscious in terms of products, sourcing, and distribution. We have previously discussed in-depth the true impact of fast fashion and why eco-friendly-living is the way to go in 2021. However, most of us can admit that even though we are trying our best, we haven't done everything in our power to support the fight against the environmental crises we currently live in. While many decided to swear off fast fashion completely and adapted their lifestyle to the ever-growing need of preserving the environment, the unconscious act of grabbing yet another one-use straw or an easy-to-carry plastic bag can add to the already dangerous situation. Until recently, that is.
With more and more brands and people than ever before attempting to be kinder to our Earth and its inhabitants, the number of sustainable shopping choices can be pleasantly overwhelming. Yes, there are plenty of ways to adapt to an eco-friendly way of life, but sometimes we all need to be a bit more vocal with beliefs.
We often round up the best sustainable clothing brands to shop all year long—or every time you feel like you wish to do something good for the planet— but today, we are about to take it one step further. As self-proclaimed streetstyle-lovers, it can sometimes be difficult to find sustainable clothing that is equal parts stylish AND align with our beliefs. However, there is one streetwear brand that focuses on delivering stellar t-shirt options for your everyday fits, while raising awareness of the species that are currently in danger of extinction. Enter: URBAN MAVERICKS
Eco-Friendly Clothing That Ignites Change
In an effort to give voice to the voiceless, Urban Mavericks introduced clothing with meaning. They started by creating a powerful message and managed to perfectly convert it into an eye-catching urban piece of art. The collection includes 5 gorgeous, ethically sourced, and eco-friendly designs inspired by endangered species. Whether you need a new, go-to t-shirt for your everyday strolls in the city or a unique design that perfectly describes your beliefs, wearing any one of the 5 Urban Mavericks styles will make you join the fight and raise awareness along with those who are working to preserve these endangered species.
If you’re itching to add some clothing to your closet, you will be pleased to know that each of these designs represents a different animal on the verge of extinction.
