5 Sustainable Men’s Clothing Items to Buy Now — Genius Clothing and Footwear Dublin

Some men are really into their clothes and fashion, and love shopping…others not so much.

For many men, shopping is that thing that has to be done a few times a year.

Adding extra layers, such as seeking out sustainable clothing is probably a step to far for most.

And that’s before we get into the terminology, which let’s face it is as confusing to most retailers as it is for customers. There’s organic, 100% GOTS certified, recycled, reused, vegan, ‘uses less water’…just to name a few (but that’s for another article we think!)

So, that’s why we’ve made it easy.

We source the best sustainable men’s denim and clothing from European brands so that you don’t have to think about it.

And we’re going to share with you our top 5 items in store now to add to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

Before we get into it, I’m sure you’re wondering why we care so much about sustainability, and why you should care.

Put simply, the fashion industry is one of the most polluting and resource-intensive in the world. And it’s not just about the carbon footprint of the industry but the lives of the people who are involved every step along the way.

We all have a role to play so let us help you play your part by making it easy to buy well-made garments that are affordable, look and feel great and that are made to last - no fast fashion here!
