After a three-year pause, festivals are slowly becoming the norm, no thanks to the pandemic. So with the Glastonbury festival on the horizon, it is easy to see why people here in the UK are getting excited and spending quite a lot of time (and money) on festival shopping sprees.
In this context, starting from this year, a new sub-trend is emerging in the UK, which is known as sustainable festival fashion. Most of the time, festival clothing are fast fashion apparel. These are worn once and then either thrown away or locked up in a closet.
On the other hand, sustainable festival clothing is a new form of business practice adopted by small and big brands in a bid to reduce the negative impact of festival clothing on planet Earth.
There are many benefits associated with adopting sustainable festival clothing, and some of them are mentioned in the sections below –
It Promotes Animal Safety And Preservation Of Endangered Species
When you adopt sustainable clothing, you are unknowingly helping endangered animals to keep their skin on their backs! You read that right!
Often, the leather apparel you wore to a festival some time back did not come from the leather procured from a slaughterhouse. Instead, it might have come from the skin of a leopard or a Roatan coral snake – animal species that are on the verge of extinction!
It Is A Great Way To Help Out Local Farmers And Businesses
It is best to understand that the sector associated with the production of sustainable clothing relies heavily on local businesses and farmers for raw materials. For instance, sustainable clothing rely on the produce of local farmers and enterprises associated with the sales of –
- Wool
- Cotton
- Hemp
- Organic Dyes
Hence, if you plan to help out your fellow UK businesspersons, then try adopting sustainable clothing. You never know how much you contribute to your local community when you buy sustainable clothing and apparel.
It Is Your Way To Show Love And Respect Towards Mother Nature!
It is no news that next to the animal husbandry sector, the garment industry is the worst offender for polluting the environment. Furthermore, the garment sector also puts a lot of pressure on Mother Nature by consuming the available natural resources to almost no return!
Adopting sustainable clothing, especially for the festival and party seasons, is your way of showing love to Mother Nature. Sustainable clothing is made by using readily available materials such as old clothes, natural plant-based fibres and dyes.
It Offers A Better Quality Of Life For People Associated With The Garment Sector
Sustainable clothing also offers healthy working conditions for the people working in the factories that produce this category of clothes. Moreover, sustainable clothing production does not have harmful fumes or dangerous wastes like chemical-saturated wastewater streams!
Conclusion
Apart from the benefits mentioned above, adopting sustainable festival clothing can also allow one to enjoy fresh apparel in terms of style and trendy in terms of vogue factor. Furthermore, sustainable festival clothing is made using assured quality materials; hence, you will get maximum returns on investment by wearing the apparel for years to come!
