Sustainable fashion doesn’t have to take a back seat during the warmer months. Here’s our selection of better brands making men’s summer fashion you’ll love.
Shining a light on men’s summer fashion staples
Sustainable fashion doesn’t have to take a back seat during the warmer months, so if you’re on the hunt for summer fashion staples by better brands, you’re in the right place.
If you’re in the process of packing away your woollens for next year after cooler weather, make sure you’re responsibly donating, upcycling, mending, altering, or reselling those items you no longer need. And while we know the most sustainable way to add a new-to-you feel to your existing collection is to shop second hand, sometimes you do have to turn to new—that’s where these better brands come in.
A few menswear highlights for us this summer season are Birkenstock-style sandals, breathable linen button-ups, and of course, trusty warm weather accessories. Let’s dive in and discover the best men’s summer fashion by brands considering people, the planet, and animals in their production.
A note on degendering fashion
While this article may be addressing keywords on men’s summer fashion, here’s the simple truth: clothes don’t have any gender. It sometimes seems silly how the industry ascribes gender to inanimate garments like t-shirts and socks. We believe people of all genders should be able to express themselves however they want, regardless of the binary marketing. So when you use our directory to search for brands, we automatically deliver search results without any consideration to gender. If you still want to find products labelled as menswear or womenswear, you can use our filters.
