Spring Is Here. Get Inspired By This List Of Sustainable Spring Fashion Trends For 2022!
Spring is here, and inarguably, it’s the best time to flaunt the latest fashion trends. For starters, the icy cold weather is gone so we can finally wear all the sleeveless tops, mini dresses, and floral prints!
From sustainable fabrics to preloved couture, we are here to tell you the latest sustainable fashion trends for spring 2022!
Opt for Bio-based materials that can be recycled:
Sustainability is all about using our resources mindfully. This is where biodegradability plays a key role. Fabrics like organic cotton and silk are biodegradable which means that they break down naturally when discarded, unlike the synthetic polymers that won’t budge for thousands of years.
However, the biodegradable nature has more to do with fabric production than fibers. Natural fibers can be made into non-biodegradable materials and vice versa. Look for tags that say “eco-friendly materials”, or “biodegradable”. With the climate crisis taking an ugly turn, more and more people are opting for sustainable fashion. There are many other benefits to wearing natural fibers, one being your skin will be able to breathe keeping you cool and smelling fresh.
Incorporate bold colors to create a vibrant look:
Striking, vibrant, and lively. What’s not to like about bold colors?
Bold colors like scarlet, emerald green, bright yellow, magenta, and hot pink are all the rage in the fashion industry right now. Christian Siriano, Proenza, Mango, Zara Bottega Veneta, and numerous other brands have incorporated bold colors in their spring looks.
Bold colors are the perfect sustainable fashion trend because you don’t have to wash them often. Stains usually don’t show as prominently on bold colors when compared to lighter colors. This means you are saving water and energy by reducing the laundry. Win-win for you and our planet! Two ways to shop bold colors sustainably is to find brands that use natural dyes or explore pre-loved items.
Color blocking:
Gone are the days when everything was immaculately matched from shirt to trousers. Color blocking is the latest trend for spring 2022. Yves Saint Laurent was the first to come up with this ingenious trend back in the 1960s. But suffice to say, this trend is back with a bang!
Gucci, Prada, and Jeremy Scott have all incorporated color blocking in their recent collections and it seems like this trend is here to stay.
Color blocking is combing two or three different colors from the same hue in an ensemble to create an exciting and different look. It has been insanely popular on the runways and for all the right reasons. The mix of color shades is not only artistic, but it also allows you to create illusions and accentuate or hide parts of your body.
But how is it sustainable?
Easy, you don’t need to buy a ton of matching separates to follow this trend. You can simply dig around your closet to find the right shades, put them all together and create an abstract statement that suits your personal style.
Water Bottle Based Clothing:
Many green brands are getting creative with their sustainable fabric sourcing and have even taken to turning plastic water bottles into fabrics. This works particularly well with swimwear, activewear, and shoes. A few brands to check out are Girlfriend Collective (for amazing activewear), Wolven Threads (for yoga apparel and swim), and Rothy’s (adorable sustainable sneakers).
Shopping from these brands is a win for everyone. You get stylish sustainable pieces while getting to support amazing green brands and thousands of water bottles get saved from landfills.
Clothing Swap Parties:
Spring is the perfect time to host a clothing swap party to support all of your friend’s sustainable fashion needs. Before you drop off your spring decluttering at goodwill, call up your girls for a clothing swap party. You will be so surprised by all of the hidden treasures that is tucked away in you and your friend’s wardrobes. This is such a fun way to bring people together during the spring while saving so much from the landfills.
