Tips to buy ethical clothing on your budget

Posted by Noboru World on May 14th, 2019

In the year 2013, the whole fashion industry was shocked when the garment factory of Bangladesh collapsed and 1129 workers died and 2500 were injured. This happened as the foreign garment workers had to work under terrible working conditions. Soon after that incident, the term “Ethical fashion” was evolved in the whole fashion industry. The term “Ethical Fashion” or “Ethical Clothing” refers to that type of garments which is produced in a good working environment and in which good materials are used.

How to buy ethical clothing with moderate rate?

Ethical clothing is manufactured under good working conditions with high-quality materials. Apart from that, a fair wage is also paid to the workers so that they abide by their ethical manufacturing duties. Hence people think that ethical clothing will be very costly as such the added cost is passed to the customer. But you can still purchase the ethical clothing on budget-friendly rate if you follow the tips mentioned below:

Researching the brand:

Before you buy ethical clothing you should do a little bit of research on the brand from where you are about to buy clothes. You can easily find out the details about what materials are used in manufacturing the garment and under what working condition it is made. There are many sites such as KnowTheChain.org, FairTradeUSA.org, GoodGuide.com, etc. which can give you the complete details of the garment. From this kind of research, you can guess what should be possible cost of the garment that you want to buy. So, next time you buy cotton tee shirts do the research first so that the retailer cannot dupe you.

Check flash sale site:

Another great way to purchase ethical clothing at a moderate rate is to check flash sale site regularly. This is because at the flash sale site you can get a huge discount but it is only limited for a shorter period of time. Generally, the flash sale site comes up with a huge discount for two reasons — raising the awareness and for moving the inventory. So, if you want to avail ethical clothing at a lesser price you should not miss the opportunity when a flash sale site comes up with a huge discount.

Shop during the offseason:

You may find a particular ethical garment costly on the peak season but the same garment will cost less during the offseason. This happens because the ethical clothing companies need to rotate their inventory and so they decide to sell the garment at a lesser price in the offseason. So if you buy men’s organic cotton t-shirts in December or warm sweaters in the month of April you will find that it is much affordable and easily fits on your budget. Hence, rather than buying ethical clothing on peak season at a higher price it is always better to purchase it on offseason at a moderate rate.
