Fabulous And Cruelty Free: Six Vegan Fashion Brands For Your Wardrobe Today

Have you heard about vegan fashion? It’s the trending practice of wearing clothes that don’t use animal leather, furs, skins, or byproducts. Vegan apparel isn’t just about hopping on a new “organic trend” –  it’s formed from the conscious decision to only buy ethically made and sourced clothing! So if you’re looking for some cruelty-free fashion, read on to discover the best vegan clothing brands you can buy in Australia.

What Is Vegan Clothing Anyway?

Vegan clothing is actually a simple concept; it’s clothing that’s made from materials that are not harvested or tested on animals. People choose to wear it for a variety of reasons: as a protest against the unethical production, to be more eco-friendly with their wardrobe, or as a lifestyle choice. It’s also the best choice for people looking to up their recycling game, as most vegan brands upcycle their materials to minimise their waste.

Don’t think that vegan clothing is limited to bohemian summer dresses or plain shirts. There’s a ready supply that can meet the demand of any fashion-conscious vegan out there, from affordable hoodies to athletic menswear.

What Are Vegan Materials?

Vegan materials are relatively simple to classify: they’re either artificial imitations of animal-based materials or grown from plants. In fact, some of the most common materials that we use for clothing are actually vegan, like cotton, nylon, linen, or hemp!

Buying imitation items isn’t only cheap – it’s totally possible to get a pair of leather shoes that look just like the real thing. You can have all the style you want guilt-free!
