Many of us neglect the items we wear most in our closet—basics. So if it’s about time your underwear, t-shirts, bras, socks or stockings were replaced, read through this guide to find new and improved items with more responsible credentials.

Start your more sustainable fashion journey from the bottom up

If you’re looking to make a difference through your wardrobe, why not start from the bottom up? Opting for more sustainable basics is an easy way to dip your toes into the world of clothing from brands that do right by people, the planet, and animals. Each brand below has been rated for its impact on the ethical and environmental issues you care most about. We’ve divided the brands by category, featuring underwear, bras, socks and stockings, pyjamas, and last but not least, t-shirts.

Underwear

Switching out your tired undies for more responsible alternatives is the easiest place to begin. You can start small by purchasing organic or fair trade underwear whenever items in your current collection need replacing. Since underwear is something we’ll continually need to repurchase, opting for brands that produce more sustainably makes a huge impact over time—and we promise they’re just as stylish and comfortable as your old favourites (maybe even more so).
