“Roses are overrated
Fast fashion is too
We found some sustainable Valentine’s Day outfits
To inspire you”
Valentine’s Day is all about love, and if there’s one thing we absolutely love here at Good On You, it’s ethics and sustainability.
So whether you’re spending the day with your crush, significant other, friends, family, or just yourself (we highly encourage a bit of self-love and self-care), we’ve got you covered.
Mosey Top – Ships internationally
Lois Hazel is a sustainable Melbourne-based fashion label with a focus on local production and sourcing.

Illustrated Vegan Silk Boxy Blouse – Ships internationally
OhSevenDays was started by Australian-Canadian Megam Mummery to promote slow fashion and the ‘power of circularity’. Based in Istanbul, the brand reclaims end of roll fabrics from the city’s garment factories and creates sharp, everyday womenswear that’s as wearable as it is ethical. This blouse is made from vegan silk and if you look closely, you’ll notice the pattern is perfect for, ah, lovers.
