Looking for ethical alternatives to Urban Outfitters? This mega guide is all you need! It's got 18 brands (and counting) that provide sustainable alternatives to the UO empire. And I must say, it's good.

Ugh.). From their abysmal rating on Goodonyou to claims of racial profiling in stores (and racism in the workplace) to lack of transparency in production and their CEO's disconcerting political donations, to finally straight up ripping off independent artists ...
