I use second hand stores and thrift stores to buy about 80% of my wardrobe and I am constantly recycling my old clothes and redoing my shoes!

I keep clothes a long time and then donate them when they show signs of wear. In other ways, I strive very hard to be eco-friendly.

I try to think green in many ways of living, but clothing really never crossed my mind. I guess I am green by accident in this case, 'cause I always use thrift shops, and recycle my old stuff. I really liked the entire lens and appreciate the value of it! Thanks!

Rummage sales, thrift stores like Goodwill, trade with friends, etc. RARELY do I purchase new. When I do, it's fabric like cotton.

Most of my clothes come from charity shops ( so recycled), one of the best and biggest i have ever shopped in, was in Berlin 5 storys high.

I mostly am. We do a lot of swapping between my family (one item has come back to me 5 times!). I buy fairtrade and green clothes (both in colour and eco!) I could be better and this lens is inspiring!

Sort of - I do swap clothes with my friends and recycle them.

as much as I can be... I love eco-jewelry and recycled handbags are gorgeous and unique. I hate designer bags - everyone has them.... I also only use organic skincare and makeup. My obsession. Another great line of really affordable eco-fashion is Casualmere... super nice folks too. I sell only eco stuff at my OpenSky shop....

I try -- I'm hardly perfect, but I like going to thrift shops and getting hand-me-downs..... easy on the (all too empty) wallet

ArtConscience says:
Wow - what great information. I knew some of this stuff, and yes - I always thought my wardrobe was green, but this has given me more ideas... thanks!
The real battle, it seems to me, is in convincing people to adopt a 'green conscience', so they live their lives consciously seeking green solutions and buying green things. An amazing piece of art is nearing completion, the largest of its kind - and by a woman, Anna Chromy. Its called The Cloak of Conscience. I just did a lens on it. Please go see: cloak-of-conscience (I'm lensrolling yours) ;)

I certainly try to be but I know I could work harder at it too.

Some of my clothes are from my mother's and older cousin's. Since I love outdoors, there's one brand that's my favorite, which they use from their recycled products.

Yes, I'm eco chic even if I'm not chic in the real sense. I like casual living.

We shop second hand stores before retail, and find most of what we need at the first stop! What the kids outgrow, I donate.

IMHO,the ONLY place to buy jeans is at a thrift shop or at yard sales. They are already broken in, pre-washed, pre-shrunk, faded, comfy and cheap!

FlowerChick says:
Some of my favorite clothes were purchased at secondhand shops. Great bargains! I'm getting greener by the day. My new passion is earth friendly purses. They are so cool, one-of-a-kind, and socially responsible.

Awesome lens! I am trying little by little to become more eco-chic....it's great that more main stream stores are selling organic fabrics.

I co-own an upcycled handbag company. We divert 500 lbs of gorgeous, designer fabric from our bloated landfills every 2 weeks and refashion it all into one of a kind handbags for earth's sake. www.echoesintheattic.com

My favorite is Kyler by Joy O, where I get my jewelry! It's sustainable, recycled, and made completely in the US. They also plant a tree for every order I make!

I get my clothes from www.embodies.com. They have soooo much to choose from for the eco conscious shopper :)

Definately! I even sell eco-friendly apparel. Check out my purses made from recycled materials like coconut shells, sea shells and magazines. They're GREAT!! www.studiog.us

I would love my entire wardrobe to be organic, but I just don't have the budget for it. I am hoping that as demand increases, like everything else, the price point will come down.

Getting more and more green by the day. Just need to get my wife moving stronger in that direction. This lens should help. Thanks

I like anything that doesn't make me feel like I'm being weighed down! I absolutely love the organic cotton tees

RolandTumble says:
I answered the above poll with "I neve even think about it," but that's not really true. I hardly ever think about materials--or country of origin, which is a separate-but-related issue--because I buy at least 95% of my clothing at thrift stores. Reuse beats recycling (though reduction is even better...).

We often by 2nd hand clothes & when we buy new, we purchase clothing made from cotton and other natural fabrics.

Getting there, esp in the Hemp Dept. Feels so Good on skin:)

I am not chic in any way!
baby-strollers says:
Well, I just wear stuff til it's in tatters - so friendly from that perspective, I don't use up any more resources making new clothes!

Your lens is an eye-opener towards green fashion. I've noticed "green" clothing is a bit more expensive. I have yet to put any green pieces in my closet but will definitely check the tags more closely next time I go shopping.

I wish I was, but no. This lens was the first time I've even been exposed to the concept of eco-friendly wardrobe. I will send some of my other hippie friends over here! and no, i don't think being a hippie is bad....

I haven't been very Eco, but plan to become more active in this direction. Than you for all the good info.

My wardrobe is totally NOT eco friendly, but thanks to this great lens.. I am going to see how I can change that! :) (I do try, but our clothes in Kuwait are mostly polyester.. any suggestions of great fabrics that hang well. don't cling and whatever that are more eco friendly? Thanks!

recycling is always in fashion, but some of those first pictures were kinda bad.

Not very, but i will be working on it after reading this lens.

I'm really not in this new flow of fashion. I have much to learn.

nightcats says:
Nope. I wish I was because I totally support anything that's good for the environment. However, it seems I live in sweats, shorts t-shirts and bathing suits. I'm so far away from chic I am not on the same planet as chic.

Cherrybomb2009 says:
I should be eco-chic, and if I were employed, I'd be working toward an eco-friendly wardrobe right now. But I'm not.

Eco Chic, little green dress, lean and green - now that environmentally sensitive clothing has its own lingo it's sure to become "hotter and hotter!" Great lens with fascinating information! Thanks I guess I'd better get with it..

I didn't realize there were so many options for green clothing. Thanks for giving me the heads up!

I do not like to shop for clothes, and when I do go with my mom, we hit Wal-Mart. But I am also trying to get down to a healthy weight, so shopping right now is not even really an option.

oneskms says:
Clothes shopping is a sort of chore rather than a pleasure (I'm male - lol) and I'd never even thought that clothing could be eco friendly

jaye3000 says:
Never thought about it, to be honest. I've always bought wherever I see the SALE sign.

WindyWinters says:
Not yet but I've bought some bamboo bedding as I am allergic to some chemicals. I never even thought of clothing. I need to learn more about eco-chic. Thanks for pointing this out.

Intuitive says:
Not yet. It's weird to me how organic cotton has been around for a long time but only in the last year or two has it become chic.
