Ethical brands for teens

8 replies

My dd is coming up to 14 and experimenting with style atm. She switches between sporty and a bit grungy. She needs some new clothes for winter but doesn't know where to look. I'm loathe to point her in the direction of boohoo, prettylittlethings, ASOS et al.
Where can she look for some style ideas with decent quality fabrics and ethical values?

Thanks

Not specifically for teenagers, but some good recommendations on this recent thread.
Also look for second hand, I believe the younguns use Depop these days, and there’s always ebay.

Rapanui is good for basics. Their leggings are great and their boxy tees are really nice too. I've got some of their jumpers on my wish list.

There's lots of choice in secondhand/nearly new clothes, especially if she knows what size she is in particular brands - she could try Vinted, Depop, Ebay or online charity shops such as Thrift + and refashion.

Depop! Get some good bargains on there.

ASOS have a marketplace section with loads of independent shops with vintage brands. Depop is another great option for sustainability. TALA is also a nice brand for loungewear and activewear which is sustainable.

Is there a good bootsale near to where you live ? My dd loves looking for her own clothes and developing her own style without looking like everyone else at pocket money prices and it allows others, often older students, to make money from things they’ve outgrown.

My daughter has many clothes from our local hospice shop. Designer but clean and lightly loved. Other than that she buys green cotton jeans from tesco and some YouTube hoodies. All other things made in UK.

My DD who had a similar style and is 14 likes Minga London for it's style and ethical values.

She gets basics from H&M and has had some success with Depop.
