07: is Plant Faced Clothing the way forward to ethical & stylish attire?
With a new year's resolution to completely cut out fast fashion from my clothing diet, Plant Faced was top of my Christmas list. As Santa granted my sustainable garment wish, I am excited to share my thoughts on this brand and my experience so far.
I was initially attracted to the rose design and bright red text which overlap, and I like the subtle slogan too. Many of their items promote sustainable lifestyle with cleverly written text, such as 'Ethical is the New Black' and 'Delete Meat,' whilst other pieces are more subtle.
Not only are you purchasing a garment, but you are engaging in a lifestyle and a community with Plant Faced, which is something I was drawn to.
With a price tag of £26 for one t-shirt, it is evident that this is not a cheap high street top, which is also reflected within their earlier listed sustainable qualities.
But is it worth it to spend a bit extra in comparison to high street not-so-ethical alternatives? It's a yes from me.
The fit is comfortable and breathable, the material is high quality and it can be worn with many different looks. I am hoping to wear this timeless piece for many years to come.

I have a new year’s resolution to eat at least one veggie meal per week. It’s a new way of thinking in the kitchen and supermarket for me – I saw some tasty looking beetroot on the shelves and decided to adjust my veggie lasagne recipe with it and it didn’t turn out as expected, but I have had some success too – including a tasty carrot soup. I’ll wait until I’m more experienced before I adjust any more recipes. As someone who takes comfort in wearing the same stuff all the time, I should defo be trying the £26 ethically produced t shirt rather than the £4.99 ones which, by the time materials, non staffing production costs, transport, etc are taken into consideration – that doesn’t leave a lot for paying the person who sat in front of a bench or machine making it.
