Have you ever wondered how you can make your wardrobe that little bit more sustainable? For most clothing, you can repair existing pieces or shop vintage, but most of us need to buy new underwear from time time.
Whether you love to have lingerie that is super comfortable or look for designs that make you feel sexy, there are brands out there offering both, while also producing them using more eco-friendly methods or materials.
Of course, sustainable underwear can be hard to come by and most fashion brands can't promise they're completely eco-friendly. However, lots of brands are now making concerted efforts to improve their eco credentials, and we've rounded up some of our favourite lingerie pieces which have been made with more ethical practices in mind.
This might mean creating clothing from organic, recycled or biodegradable fabrics. Some clothing companies are also working to follow more ethical practices in their workplaces too, including Stripe & Stare and Organic Basics. One indicator of a brand's eco-credentials could be checking to see if it is certified as a B-Corporation. This mark means that the company has to meet set environmental standards relating to how it is run, how it works with suppliers, and its impact on the environment across various areas (for instance, how much waste is produced by the brand).
Whether you're looking to buy some quality everyday underwear or looking for a gorgeous matching set this Valentine's Day, we've rounded up some more sustainable lingerie options to help you feel good on the inside, as well as look good on the outside.
Here are our 12 favourite more sustainable lingerie pieces to choose from, including what you need to know about the brands featured:
