For many of us, we’ve made the resolution to support small businesses, restore humanity, and undertake a sustainable lifestyle. From our elementary school obsession with Miss Me Jeans to our present fascination with thrifting and bucket hats, fashion has consistently served as a means to creatively express ourselves. However, fashion hasn’t always been inclusive to all women. Previously, straight-size fashion brands only catered up to a woman’s size 14, leaving close to 68% of female consumers in the US who are higher than a size 14, unaccounted for. Today, more and more brands—many women-owned—are tirelessly working to demolish these discrepancies. Talk about a girl boss!

As sustainable, ethical, and size-inclusive clothing has been gaining more traction in the fashion industry, our ideas of “picture perfect” have started to change. Therefore, to facilitate transitioning from fast fashion to sustainable, ethical, and size-inclusive clothing, have a look at our compiled list of favorite brands that you’ll want to try ASAP:

Girlfriend Collective

Sizes 2XS to 6XL

Girlfriend Collective is an American eco-friendly, activewear brand made primarily from recycled polyester and plastic water bottles. While ensuring payment of a living wage to its employees, this brand encourages diversity, partners with small businesses, and often donates 100% of its net proceeds to campaigns such as The LoveLand Foundation, which focuses on providing therapy to Black women and girls, and When We All Vote, a national nonpartisan nonprofit founded by Michelle Obama that aims to increase voter participation in every election. Girlfriend Collective puts their money where their mouth is by preaching 100% transparency with its consumers and prioritizes sisterhood and sustainability above all.
