From top to bottom, each piece this Fashionisto put together has a story. As an advocate for mindful and holistic living, he exemplifies how fashion can be a medium for tangible, but impactful change through conscious consumer choices.
Through the purchase of Truwood sunglasses and a Tinlid Hat Co. cap, a total of twenty-five trees were planted, serving a common good for our global community. These trees now act as a buffer keeping toxic chemicals out of our waterways, an anchor preventing erosion and a purifier to cleanse the air we breathe each day. The wooden frames give a casual vibe to any look, while the hat acts as a quite literal reminder to simply love our earth and please, oh please, recycle.
Supporting companies that have a positive mission and put pride in the production of their pieces has a major impact on, of course, our earth, but the lives of the talented craftsmen behind the work. When products are made with quality materials and production methods, they can endure years of wear and tear requiring you to consume and waste much less than alternative fast fashion options.
Not only can you support these principled companies, but you can take a stab at creating some clothes and accessories yourself, like this talented Fashionisto. Start small by picking up scrap leather and creating a bracelet. Before you know it you’ll be putting together sandals left and right.
Being cautious to not overshadow these details, he paired a simple long-sleeved thrifted tee with a pair of second-hand blue jeans. Whether you’re taking over your local thrift store or breaking out your inner shoesmith, being intentional with each detail guarantees a one of kind look to match that one of a kind personality.
