I don’t know if this topic is appropriate for this community but there is a lot of waste generated with the clothing industry so I hope it fits.

The only resource I know of to find ethically sourced clothes is https://goodonyou.eco/. However, those can be pretty expensive so lately, I’ve been looking for more alternatives that are more affordable. What do you guys think of Salvation Army, Goodwill, Thrift stores? I’ve been hesitant on going there because I fear not having a good selection of clothes. If you guys have any experiences with these that would be amazing

    If you want good results while thrifting it pays to get comfortable with going regularly. If you go consistently and pick through stuff you’ll find great stuff, but ultimately you’re picking through a haystack for the couple of needles you care about- youre getting cheap clothes but putting in your time. Also its way more fun if you go with friends, and then you can also learn what each other like and keep an eye out for each other :)

    I’ve always thought of Patagonia being decent, does anyone know of ethical concerns with them? They’re pricy though, and only have specific kinds of styles

      If you want to, I think you could find reasons not to like Patagonia as a citizen, but in my opinion they are a pretty ethical company compared to most.
