Earth Day is tomorrow, and with its arrival comes a period of reflection for environmentally conscious queers who want to make the earth a better place. Whether that’s reducing their use of single-use plastics, having a zero-waste kitchen, or making sure the clothes they have on their backs are ethically sourced, queer people love taking care of mother earth. She is the ultimate lesbian if you ask me.
Nowadays, it’s very hard to dress yourself in clothing that isn’t fast fashion. Many people have resorted to thrifting or shopping in vintage stores, which are both really great options. However, maybe you want to treat yourself with something new or maybe you are plus-sized and find thrifting to be difficult.
Here are five outfits sourced from mostly “slow fashion” outlets that you can rock on Earth Day and Beyond!

Yeah unfortunately slow fashion is more expensive! But I believe that retailer has Afterpay so you can split it up into four payments!
ty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh oh I want all of these things
Love these, especially the outfit for picking berries from the community garden. I spend a lot of time in gardens (run school and community gardens) and my preference is airy clothes in earthtones. I already have the birkenstocks…just need to complete the ensemble.
Ooo I really appreciate this list! I’ve been trying to move towards buying more durable clothing pieces and less fast fashion, but it’s challenging in the larger plus size arena. Excited to explore some of these options!
Oh no, I really really want those pants from the first section, but not sure it’s reasonable to order eco-friendly clothes and then ship them 9000km 💔
