How COVID Has Impacted What We Wear

How COVID Has Impacted What We Wear – Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there have been very few areas of our lives that have been left unaffected. While at first we thought it would only impact normal life for a few weeks, here we are a year later, still trying to get back to a new sense of normality. However, one of the biggest ways that COVID has affected our everyday life is by the clothes we wear.

Whereas once, our weeks were spent in smart clothes for work and then party outfits at the weekend, a lot of our usual wardrobe has been left hanging. It is safe to say that while our lives have been turned upside down in the last 12 months, the clothes we wear have changed dramatically as well. [Read more…]

The Rising Trend in Sustainable Clothing

by Leave a Comment

Although fast-fashion won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, there is definitely a rise in the popularity of sustainable and ethical clothing. Of course, as you might imagine plus size ranges in this type of clothing are a little behind, but I think over the next few years we’re likely to see this trend change & hopefully, a choice of clothing will be available for all.

There are different ways that clothing can be sustainable and ethical – paying a fair wage or using recycled material for example. The working conditions of the people who create the clothes & the carbon footprint that it takes to get each item of clothing to your door are things to be considered.

Bamboo Clothing

I’ve recently been introduced to Bamigo, a company that makes all manner of clothing from bamboo – I know, it was a new one on me too! There are many reasons why bamboo is becoming an increasingly popular material to use, including the fact that it absorbs twice as much carbon dioxide than other trees! Bamboo itself grows much quicker than lots of trees, so re-planting
trees and helping to ensure the source remains sustainable doesn’t have to be a chore!

Shopping with Bamingo

Bamingo offers a range of bamboo clothing options including men’s underwear, socks, t-shirts, dressing gowns and pyjamas. Imagine being able to live a comfy life while knowing you’re going your bit for the environment? Perfect! They pride themselves on making comfortable clothes from bamboo clothing – a material that stays feeling much fresher than some manmade materials so a great choice for things like socks and underwear!

They currently offer up to an XXXL which is better than some more sustainable brands that I have seen, let’s hope it continues to be popular and they’re able to expand their size offering soon!

Do you know any sustainable brands? Who do you recommend?
