When it comes to building a conscious wardrobe, the best choices we can make (other than not shopping at all) are to shop second hand, swap with friends/neighbors, or rent our clothes. I’ve handpicked an array of second hand resources, clothing rental companies, and on trend sustainable clothing brands. I focus on mid-range options that won’t break your budget.
Second Hand Resources
Even Goodwill and Salvation Army have joined the online thrift movement! Local options are usually best so you can actually see the condition of the product, but my favorite online option is thredup.com. You can search by color, designer, and more.

Clothing Rental Options
My favorite for the most on trend rentals is Nuuly.
