Eco-friendly fashion is reaching an all time high and
fashion-forward people couldn't be more excited. It is great to see that people are interested in being
eco-friendly and trendy. One thing
that is missing, however, is eco-friendly plus size fashion. I heard finding eco-friendly plus size
clothing is difficult but finding eco-friendly plus size fashion that is
actually attractive is even harder. Many of the items out there are generally
geared toward women smaller than a size 12/14 but wheres the love for the plus
size (or as I like to say, Full size) women out there? It is important that plus size fashion
also takes a turn toward eco-friendly wear.
Truth be told, there is plus size clothing out there that is
eco-friendly but what fashionista do you know would be caught in a burlap
sack? Its seriously time to start
paying attention to full figured women and their needs for eco-friendly and
trendy fashion. When researching
eco-friendly plus size fashion one either finds clothing that is actually cute
but only goes up to a size 14 or it goes past a size 14 but isn't as attractive
as smaller sized clothing. We are
really hoping that this isn't the case and we would love to see more eco-friendly
clothing for plus size girls and even guys. If you have any plus size earth friendly let us know! Here
is what we found:
Etsy: Etsy is a good site for plus size women
to find eco-friendly clothing.
Since their clothing comes from independent retailers there is the
opportunity for custom fitting your clothing if need be. Many of the designers work past the
traditional hippie style eco-friendly clothing and instead make cute outfits
from organic cotton and other earth friendly materials. It would be great to see more
eco-friendly plus size clothing out there like what can be found on Etsy.
Rawganique: This
site also has eco-friendly clothing for plus size people. Most of their stuff is pretty casual
but it still more attractive than what is currently out there. Their clothing comes in true plus sizes
which is great! It would be great
to see some clothing that was more on the young professional side or everyday
clothing.
Both of these sites have attractive eco-friendly clothing in
plus sizes but we think there needs to be more. There is a lot of stylish eco-friendly fashion out there but
mainly for those below a size 12/14.
If you are aware of any plus size eco-friendly fashion out there be sure
to let us know or if you feel the same please let us know as well. It is important that there is
eco-friendly options for plus size women but it is even more important that
these options satisfy the fashionista in everyone.
