Sustainable Activewear Brands

Do you remember when you started your capsule wardrobe? What was the reason? I wanted to reduce the amount of clothes and slowly get a better quality wardrobe. And with that hand in hand came a minimalist lifestyle and search for a sustainable brands. Handmade clothes were one of the best options as well. But as we can’t make everything handmade, for example, activewear, I decided to look for some sustainable activewear brands out there. Below are some sustainable brands that do high-quality activewear and save the environment.

EVAMOSO

At Evamoso, they believe that sustainably sourced clothing should be a given, not a speciality. At Evamoso believe you shouldn’t have to look hard to buy comfortable, stylish, everyday clothes, created with their footprint in mind. To put it simply, they want to make sustainably sourced clothing the new norm.
Evamoso clothing is designed for every side of you – not just working out. Simple, beautifully-fitting separates made from natural and recycled fabrics in wearable shades, are created to work in harmony with every aspect of your life.
What makes Evamoso sustainable? The use of technical but tactile fabrics, such as recycled polyamide and moso bamboo yarns, throughout the entire collection.
What Evamoso mean when they say ‘ We are being sustainable and ethical ‘
Now, let’s be honest. We have seen a great deal more focus on sustainability in a fashion which is fantastic. However, with that also comes some greenwashing of the terms sustainability and ethics in fashion; Evamoso wants to be straight with you and explain what THEY mean when they talk about sustainability in their range.
For Evamoso, they abide by the following:
To maintain and fully respect the definition of sustainable clothing throughout the ethos of Evamoso. Brundtland Commission articulated what has now become a widely-accepted definition of sustainability:
“to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Sustainable clothing refers to fabrics derived from eco-friendly resources, such as sustainably grown fibre crops or recycled materials.

Along with this, they will also maintain and respect the definition of ethically produced clothing throughout the values of Evamoso.

‘Ethical fashion represents an approach to the design, sourcing and manufacture of clothing which maximises benefits to people and communities while minimising impact on the environment.’
(EFF Ethical Fashion Forum, 2017)

“If you describe something as ethical, you mean that it is morally right or morally acceptable.’ (Collins English Dictionary)
