It’s no secret that the clothing industry has a massive impact on the environment. From the resources it uses to the amount of waste it produces that ends up in landfill, fast fashion is not a good look on anyone.

But more and more sustainably-minded brands are taking action to turn the fast fashion tide on its head. With eco-friendly materials, responsible manufacturing processes and transparent supply chains, these companies make it easy to do good while looking good.

Here are our top picks for menswear across every style and budget.

Great for effortless style

Neem London is on a mission to make the most sustainable shirts in the world. Designed to appeal to men who want ‘power casual’ clothes that are both comfortable and stylish, Neem’s pieces are made with low-impact materials and processes as part of a closed-loop system that gives shoppers a generous £30 discount for every bag of old clothes they send to the company.

OUR PICK

This light grey recycled overshirt (£139) is the epitome of smart-casual men's fashion. With a cut-away collar and four-pocket styling, this versatile shirt can be worn as a lightweight jacket or as a layer when the nights turn cooler.

Great for mens streetwear

Sutsu has been creating on-trend, stylish streetwear with a conscience since 2004. All of its t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies are produced from organic cotton and are PETA-approved, and the company plants two trees for every order it receives.

OUR PICK

This organic cotton Rising Sun sweatshirt (£34.99) is as soft on the skin as it is effortlessly cool.

Great for sportswear that goes the distance

Online sportswear platform Lockr Space is working to ensure men's sportswear, men's activewear and sustainability go hand-in-hand by showcasing the brands that put people and planet at the top of the agenda. Whether you’re after kit for running, climbing, yoga or spin class, brands on Lockr Space don’t compromise on performance or style.

OUR PICK

This soft and silky base layer top (£60) from Enso is made from recycled post-consumer plastic and designed to regulate your body temperature during even the toughest workout.

Great for unique graphic tees

OUR PICK

This bold ‘There Is No Planet B’ t-shirt (£39.50), has a striking design and an even stronger message. All proceeds from this tee go to Greenpeace.

Great for beachy vibes

Isle of Wight-based Rapanui has been pioneering ethical fashion since 2008. The company operates a completely transparent supply chain, so you can see the journey of your clothing from seed to shop. Its surfer-inspired collection includes organic cotton, British wool, recycled plastic and bamboo, among others, with many pieces available in bundles and multipacks for extra value.

OUR PICK

This PETA-approved, organic cotton long-sleeved tee (£27) puts a sustainable spin on a classic fast-fashion design.
