We believe that looking good on our travels (for the gram or not 😉) is as important as being a responsible adventurer with a sustainable travel wardrobe. Discover creative ways how you can look, shop, and travel better without sacrificing good style!👙🧳

SHOP LOCAL ECO-FRIENDLY FASHION BRANDS

Feeling good about the clothes and items you’re wearing when you go out and explore the world is also possible if you shop consciously and responsibly. The good news is that there are many local brands you can invest in that are shaping the fashion industry to be greener. Here are some of our favorites:

Sustainable swimwear: Agos Surf

Handcrafted and ethical clothing: Maison Metisse

Repurposed Bags: Retaso

Chemical-free and functional clothing: Sunki

Pair your sustainable clothing of choice with the crowd-favorite Laser Whitening treatment from Wink Laser Studio.

CREATE A TRAVEL CAPSULE WARDROBE THAT CAN SIMPLIFY PACKING FOR TRIPS

An easy way to pack for a trip with sustainable wardrobe choices is by taking a minimalist approach and filling your closet with fewer quality items that can also be very versatile. Since this does not require as many pieces, the minimalist capsule wardrobe also offers the opportunity to invest in more durable, quality items that you can use on a daily basis.

Make packing more worry-free with this chic mini dress from Sunki that you can wear from sunrise to sunset, or even straight to brunch the next morning.

BE MORE INTENTIONAL WHEN BUYING NEW CLOTHES

If you need to replace some of your worn-out clothes, try to be more intentional before you purchase an item. You can do this by simply:

1. Choosing good-quality clothing made with natural fabric fibers instead of synthetic fabrics contributes to microplastic pollution. Natural alternatives to synthetic fabrics include cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp, Tencel, recycled fibers, recycled Nylon, recycled polyester, recycled Wool, and recycled cotton. Avoid polyester, nylon, spandex, and acrylic.

2. Investing in something with more longevity for your travel wardrobe rotation that you can wear again and again (and again).

IF YOU’RE GOING TO A DESTINATION WEDDING (OR NOT), CONSIDER RENTING YOUR ATTIRE

When attending destination events, the reality is that we often dress up in occasion wear once or twice, which is not really sustainable. However, when you choose to rent your outfits, this encourages clothing circulation while giving you endless possibilities of styles at the same time.

If you’re looking for stunning designer options for short or long dresses for destination events, make a fashion statement with Vestido Manila’s gorgeous rentals. Their catalog selections are uber chic and you’ll be able to score local and international designer pieces at a more affordable price point since you’re only renting them for a specific period of time.
