Everyone has their collection of fashion basics in black. This is a kit of a few of my favorite black statement pieces made by sustainable and ethical fashion brands. You’ll find a few eco friendly organic cotton tops, vegan canvas shoes, and several other pieces made by socially responsible brands. In each selection, I also looked out for minimal, simple design aesthetics.

style + modern design + socially & environmentally responsible

Women’s Classic Washed Tee, Eco Friendly 100% Certified Organic Ringspun Cotton – Every Purchase Supports Environmental Non-profit Organizations
By: ECOnscious

Why I Like This

Everyone has a few go-to, simple black t-shirts. This is one that I like to wear and share. It’s made by an ethical clothing brand that abides by fair trade and fair wage practice. This top is also made of incredibly soft organic cotton. It’s a sustainable alternative to conventional cotton.

Jumpsuit, Made of Eco Friendly Bamboo 100% Rayon Material
By: Verdalina

Why I Like This

Verdalina is a new ethical fashion shop that started in 2013. It’s based out of Richmond, Virginia and prides itself on being one of the first ‘slow-fashion’ brands in the city. In addition to supporting fair trade practices, they also use organically grown and environmentally friendly textiles for many of their pieces.

I love the look and feel of this Jumpsuit. It has clean lines, with a minimalist design touch.

Women’s Vegan Canvas Slip-On Shoe – Made by a Socially Responsible Brand
By: TOMS

Why I Like This

I’ve been making an effort recently to buy vegan shoes (i.e., shoes without animal products, like leather, wool, fur, etc.). I think it’s important, especially now and into the future, to move away from using animal products in fashion. Generally speaking, animal-free fashion tends to be more ethical and sustainable.

I’m sure you’ve head of TOMS before. I love them! TOMS prides themselves on their social responsibility programs and philanthropy. They have several programs that provide help for those in need.

These simple, black canvas slip-ons are another go-to fashion item for me. Soft, lightweight and well designed.

By: Easy USA

Why I Like This

Another vegan shoe, slip-on option are these canvas shoes. They’re similar to the one’s above, but have a bit more a modern cut and line to them. Always nice to have options!

Skinny Jeans in Black – Ethically Made in the USA
By: Ecovibe Apparel

Women’s Slimming Skinny Jean
By: Levi’s

Why I Like This

Another option are these skinny black jeans by Levi’s. Levi’s are always on my list when I’m looking for a good pair of jeans. Many people don’t know, but Levi’s announced a sustainability plan recently to move towards energy and water conservation strategies in their facilities.

Minimalist, Lightweight Canvas Backpack – Eco friendly, Made from 100% Recycled Cotton
By: BAGGU

Why I Like This

Baggu was recommended to me by a friend. Their bags are lightweight, durable, and have a simple, minimalist aesthetic to them. This backpack in particular is made from 100% recycled cotton. If you don’t like the black color, they have this style bag in several colors and patterns.

Black Statement Necklace & Earring Set – Made of Sustainably Harvested Vegetable Ivory & Tagua Nut, Made in the USA
By: ArtisansintheAndes

Why I Like This

I was very happy to find this necklace on Etsy. I hand’t heard of vegetable ivory and Tagua Nut before looking at this necklace. It’s a fascinating building material. According to the artisan, “Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, is sustainably harvested in the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador. It shares many properties with elephant ivory: its very strong, light and takes a beautiful polish.”

On her page, the artisan also points out that this necklace is “made to our standards of Fair Trade, provides a sustainable income for our team in Ecuador, and only the highest quality, organic components.”

Personally, I love the clean and geometric aesthetic.

To finish the up the look, I thought I’d add a minimalist design circle scarf. This one is perfect for fall and winter climates, and made is of recycled polyester and organic cotton.

I feel that conscious consumption is incredibly important. Fashion is one of those industries that still needs to catch up with the demands of modern conscious consumers. It’s also a good place to start if you’re new to conscious consumption — swapping out your clothes for some new ones, that are both sustainable and ethical. I was a model in the 80’s, and I’m pleased to see an increase in awareness around the way apparel is made.

Have a questionI’ll answer.
