Across the globe designers are now joining the movement to 'Go Green.' With so many fabulous designers following suit, eco-friendly is no longer considered hard to find. From yoga gear to formal wear, eco-friendly clothing is gaining hype.

You might be wondering what is means for your clothes to be eco-friendly. Environmentally conscious clothing is often made from natural and fair-trade materials like soy, organic cotton and bamboo. The benefits of organic cotton are that it's not grown with pesticides while non-organic cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop. It takes 1/3 pound of chemicals to make one T-shirt. Fair-trade simply means paying fair wages to the individuals that make the clothing that we love to wear.

Sustainable clothing also tends to be much more comfortable. Soft and well made materials like organic cotton feel great to the touch unlike itchy polyesters.

Innovative designers like Gaiam are increasingly designing pieces that don't exploit the planet. Gaiam uses eco-friendly fabrics to produce super comfortable pieces made from soy, organic cotton, bamboo and leather-alternatives.

Another new designer, Sublet Clothing is bringing luxury to the environmentally conscious shopper. Sublet Clothing produces chic and stylish wears while fostering a collaborative community. They are socially and environmentally responsible in the way they source, manufacture and run the company.

Prices for sustainable duds might be a little more expensive but taking care in what you wear is well worth the price. Free yourself of toxin induced fabrics with organic clothing.

No one denies that there is so much more to come. Designers still don't have all the materials that they need to keep up with their less sustainable counterparts but with so many new ideas floating around, there's no doubt that this is an exciting industry to be in right now.

People are starting to take note of where all the products that they buy are coming from and as consumers become more choosy, so will designers. Being eco-conscious and style-conscious will soon go hand and hand.
