11 Most Affordable Ethical Clothing Brands

I’ve wanted to share my favorite affordable ethical clothing brands for such a long time now, but I didn’t want them all to be minimalist companies lacking in color and variety. Because I know that’s not the only affordable and sustainable fashion out there! Here we’ve rounded up brands that offer most basics for under $100 and most clothing in general for under $200. This is about as affordable as it gets for (new) ethical fashion–if we want a more sustainable world, we need to ditch the mindset that tees are only worth $5 and you should only splurge on a name.

That said, we all have varying budgets and it’s important to find and share the most accessible brands we find! Personally I save up for my favorite new ethical pieces, but most of my wardrobe is still secondhand or from years ago. I hope these 10 affordable ethical fashion brands inspire you to create a sustainable fashion budget and continue being vocal about the need for sustainability in clothing. Remember, the most sustainable items are the ones you’ll actually wear.

Everybody & Everyone sells womens basics like recycled tees, yoga pants, and joggers, as well as fun printed tops, dresses, and jumpsuits. The vast majority of their pieces are under $150! View size guide. Prices starting at $30.

Bold and colorful unisex fashion brand Big Bud Press offers classic work shorts and crewneck sweatshirts for about $65 each. Their staple utility jumpsuits are under $200 and they even have t-shirts for $38! PS Their sale section is killer right now. View size guide. Prices start at $38.

I often overlook brands like Groceries Apparel because as a conscious maximalist I’m always in search of statement pieces. But we all need a favorite tee or yoga pants or basics for layering and if you want it to be affordable, Groceries Apparel is a great start. They even have a food waste collection! View size guide. Prices starting at $38, with the majority under $100.

Tuesday of California is a little more pricey than some others on this list, with the majority of pieces in between $100 and $200. However, their pieces are super versatile and will become staples. And they have basics at $45 as well as listings for past season items at major discounts, so keep an eye out if you love their style. Sizes range from xxs-7x. Prices starting at $45.

Similarly, Outerknown prices most of their pieces between $100-$200, with a fair amount of basics for under $100. However, I love that so many of their designs are perfect for layering, and they offer a lot more prints and silhouettes than the average ethical clothing brands. Also, they have mens! Prices starting at $48.

Ethical activewear brand Girlfriend (which everyone knows about at this point, right?) makes the list because everything I’ve purchased from them has been SO so good. For $68 (ships free to US), I’ve been able to purchase leggings that I wear at least 3 (kay 5) times a week since I got them two years ago. I’ve since purchased other pairs, sports bras, and my friends are obsessed with their loungewear collection too! Their colors are perfect for someone who wants to make a statement without sacrificing comfort. They are also size inclusive and short friends, you can also get each at a cropped length for a better fit. Btw, they have a For Everyone section with genderless designs. Sizes XXS-6X and unisex. Prices mostly $50-100.

Yesand features basics with a fun twist–like colorful tie dye and effortless fits. They also have graphic tees if you’re one to wear your sustainability on your sleeve! View size guide. Seriously, where else can you find an ethically made moto jacket under $150!!?!?

Everything zero waste ethical fashion brand tonlé currently offers is priced at under $200, with the majority of clothing in the $40 to $100 range. See size guide.

LA Relaxed should definitely be on your radar for cozy, sustainable basics. One of the most affordable ethical fashion brands, they offer t-shirts, sweaters, joggers, and even dresses and jumpsuits for easy, effortless wear. I actually purchased from them for the first time recently, and what made them so affordable was their bundles such as the well-loved bundle. View size guide. I loved the t-shirts I received (will have to share on our insta!) and will buy again. Prices start at $30.

Canadian sustainable fashion brand Tamga Designs features womens clothing in amazing prints and romantic silhouettes. Most dresses are under $150 with accessories under $30. View size guide. Prices start at around $30 for basics.

Latinx Bolivian owned slow fashion brand Wasi Clothing offers clothing priced between about $40 to $200, with most on the lower end. They also have accessories, lifestyle, and home goods, so they’re one to bookmark for ethical gifting!
