2023 Trends in Eco-Friendly Fashion

Moving forward into 2023, the world of sustainable fashion is continuing its course and strengthening its core muscles. Here are the 8 trends that are bound to gain even more momentum in the coming year, slowly bringing the values of a circular fashion system to the mainstream. 

1 Sustainable Materials

The use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials such as recycled plastics, cork, pineapple leather, and organic cotton has become increasingly popular in eco-friendly footwear, bags, and jewelry.

2 Upcycling

Upcycling is the process of taking materials that would otherwise be considered waste and turning them into something new and valuable. Many designers are using upcycling techniques to create eco-friendly footwear, bags, and jewelry.

3 Minimalism

The minimalist trend is continuing to grow in the world of eco-friendly fashion. Simple, clean designs with a focus on quality and durability are becoming more popular than flashy, trendy pieces.

4 Handmade and Artisanal

People are looking for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are handmade by skilled artisans. Handmade and artisanal footwear, bags, and jewelry are becoming more popular as consumers seek to support small businesses and reduce their environmental impact.

5 Biodegradable and Compostable

Biodegradable and compostable materials are becoming increasingly popular in eco-friendly fashion, especially in clothing. Also, packaging materials are being considered as part of the "footprint" of a product, and more brands are moving toward compostable mailers or compostable bags. The question is becoming, "what if we could put our clothing in with the compost and have it be good for the soil?" This means a move away from synthetics, which create microplastics when they break down. 

6 Fair Trade and Ethical Practices

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the ethics behind the products they buy. Eco-friendly footwear, bags, and jewelry made using fair trade and ethical practices are becoming more popular as consumers seek to support businesses that prioritize social responsibility.

7 Multifunctional

With the rise of minimalism, multifunctional footwear, bags, and jewelry are becoming more popular. Products that can be worn in multiple ways or serve multiple purposes are seen as more practical and sustainable.

8 Non-Toxic and Chemical-Free

Eco-friendly footwear, bags, and jewelry that are made without harmful chemicals or toxins are becoming more popular. Consumers are seeking out products that are safe for themselves and the environment.
