Can sustainable fashion be stylish? 

A common perception people have of sustainable fashion is that it's very limited, making it hard to curate a trendy wardrobe. But this is far from true. Of course there is a strong relationship between trending looks and fast fashion consumerism. However, this doesn't always have to be the case. By following trends that are timeless instead of just seasonal, you can ensure longevity in the clothes you wear. This way you can be fashion forward without compromising on ethics or sustainability.
