Looking for Eco-Friendly Fashion Inspo? Follow These Sustainable Fashionistas on IG

The fashion industry can be notoriously unsustainable, between fast fashion chains that have a consistently negative impact on the environment, and companies that use animals for leather, wool, and other animal-based materials. But there are several ways to stay sustainable and fashionable, and we've compiled a list of our favorite sustainable fashion influencers, so you can get eco-friendly inspo on the daily.

Aja Barber (@ajabarber) is a London-based stylist and writer who posts about how sustainability, racism, and intersectional feminism are often intertwined with capitalism and society's buying habits.

Jess Carpenter (@jessleecarpenter) is a thrifty fashionable queen who opened her own vintage shop, to show off her impeccable taste and all her amazing finds.

Her blog is mainly focused being a mom of two kids (and three pets!) while living a low-waste, cruelty-free lifestyle. She's an inspirational person to follow for sustainable tips, body positivity, and inspiration in the sometimes-daunting realm of sustainable and low-waste living.

Leah Thomas (@greengirlleah) is one of the truly amazing gals behind @greengirlsco and @intersectionalenvironmentalist. She advocates for important causes such as intersectional sustainability, racial equality, and sustainable fashion. She also makes sure to post frequent incredible, low-impact ~lewks~, such as the one above.

There are so many sustainable fashionistas out there who definitely deserve a follow, especially if you're looking to lessen the eco-impact of your closet. Needless to say, we could definitely use more powerful, influential voices like these in the sometimes incredibly wasteful of fashion.
