A basic white tee made of organic eco-friendly fabric

Nothing shouts sustainable living louder than a basic white tee paired with an old pair of jeans. A white tee is an absolute classic, you can pair it with anything and everything and it never goes out of style. What can be more sustainable than a piece of clothing that’s timeless? Make sure you get one that is made of natural, eco-friendly fabrics like cotton or linen.

We love how @shannonvallespace has styled her basic white tee with a pair of ripped black skirt. Minimalistic yet chic.

Vegan, clean and cruelty-free cosmetics

The market is saturated with cruelty-free and organic cosmetic brands but the question arises. Are they really cruelty-free? Ethical fashion and clean beauty blogger @mademoisellepanka vouch on the credibility of these amazing beauty products. A lot of beauty brands are realizing the importance of clean beauty. Consumer behavior has also played a major role in the way cosmetics are made.  As someone who lives sustainably, products that are tested on animals are a complete no-no. It is important that the cosmetics are made in ethical facilities and are free of harmful chemicals which is exactly what clean beauty offers.

Tip: Go for Heirlooms. A large part of slow fashion is second-hand clothes. Check out this Assamese silk woven saree worn by the very pretty @mom_on_skates. The saree belongs to her grandmother who passed it on to her mother who eventually gave it to @mom_on_skates.
