Dress to Impress

Have you ever heard of Vegetarian/Vegan Clothing?
Many people not only practice Vegetarian/Vegan beliefs when eating, but try and incorporate these beliefs in their daily lives as well. Vegetarian/Vegan Clothing is a new fad that everyone should be aware of.

People whom believe in this clothing style are opposed to cruelty to animals. Watching what you wear can really make a difference. For example, avoiding leather products can make some difference in the world. Its easy to find alternatives and a lot of clothing stores offer these choices.

What is in vegetarian/vegan clothing? Instead of saying whats in it, its easier to say what it is NOT. Wool, silk, leather, and fur make up the majority of clothing. Anything but these products are considered vegetarian clothing. Many fashion designers use furs and animal skins but do not even care where these products come from.

So how can you get these same looks while being animal friendly? Pleather has taken a turn in the fashion industry to mimic the looks of leather and even animal skins in accessories, shoes and different clothing.
Faux fur is also used to mimic the looks of real fur. It is made from cotton, polyester or acrylic fibers which are available in different colors, densities and and piles. Wool and silk are arguable but in reality, true vegans would argue that both these materials are considered not to follow ones beliefs.

The best solutions in vegan clothing are made from eco friendly fabrics like hemp and organic cotton. 

Many websites have vegetarian clothing available in order to help promote these vegetarian/vegan beliefs. So from now on, I will try and be more aware of the clothes I wear. Will you?
