12 Sustainable & Daring Pieces for Your Club Rat Era
Hot girls awaken! Gone are the days when we spent our Friday nights at home with our favorite snacks and good nature docu! Well not entirely, but as summertime slowly rolls in, the club rat inside each and every one of you may be coming out of their burrows. And because a common misconception about sustainable fashion is that it needs to be boring or PG rated, what better excuse than to carry out our duty (in a PowerPuff Girls way) to bring sustainability into the spaces you’d least expect to find it! You can still look sexy, fun, and like you just stumbled out of a Euphoria episode, sustainably.
We’ve curated a list of perfect pieces to wear to the club, to your Cancer, Leo, or Virgo besties’ birthday party, or whenever you feel like it!
Pristine’s designs draw upon the multifaceted nature of femininity, the celebration of female sexuality and pleasure, and the all-out glamor of old Hollywood. Their pieces are handmade-to-order in London from premium, sustainable materials. The Underneath it All dress is a cheeky silk dress featuring a trompe l’oeil naked effect screen print.
This PerceptionF skirt is handmade in LA from waxed denim, hand painted with acrylic paint and accessorized with safety pins. All PerceptionF tags are made from scrap fabric to minimize textile waste and they use all of their scrap fabric to create new pieces.
Hanan Sharifa’s garments are “meant to be worn in a daydream” and this Berriez collab dress will turn your reality into just that. This versatile stretchy, sheer dress with a gold adjustable tie waist will take you from sustainable baddie to sexy sustainable baddie, whenever you wear it.
Upcycled from a secondhand garment, this tube top by Leawald is for the motomami’s who know every word to Abcdefg, have no idea what they’re saying, but slay either way.
5. Evade House Bra Top Lace
A braless + basic white tank moment is one of the sexiest things you can wear right now. This bra top by Evade House was handmade in Madrid and is made from upcycled materials and recycled lace.
This cargo skirt by Norblack Norwhite is a mashup of colors, comfort and functionality. You can create multiple looks with just one skirt. It’s adjustable which means you can turn it into a short skirt, wear it long, make it baggy, or keep it cinched.
The Madomorpho Handle Bra is what Kirsten Dunst’s Marie Antoinette would have worn if you plopped her in the middle of a club. This bra is made from selected second hand leather and has an antique handle attached in the front.
Gbadebo is a sustainable clothing brand that helps minimize waste produced in the fashion industry by taking said waste, alongside recycled and sustainable fabrics to create fresh new garments. Grunge is back and you can embody it with this distressed 90s mini skirt and corset top set.
What’s a club rat look without some mesh?? Incomplete, that’s what. The Fantasy Butterfly Top by EMRLD strikes the perfect balance between a cheeky mesh look and not having your nipples be the center of the piece. This top is ethically handmade in the UK and you don’t need a bra as the bust panels are lined for modesty!
Switch out your usual ribbed tank with Tyler McGillivary’s Ginny Tank, featuring wave cut outs and an incredibly flattering design. The playful arrangement of cut-outs mixed with wave-inspired panels form the perfect contrast between skin and fabric.
Isn’t this the skirt Jennifer Aniston wore in the salsa club scene in Along Came Polly? This asymmetrical skirt is made to order from organic bamboo jersey and is inspired by ancient Greek clothing.
12. A Custom Piece by Your Fave Upcycle Designer
Nothing says “cool girl" like answering the question “where’d you get that?” with “oh, it's custom made.” Support your favorite upcycle designer by commissioning a piece made specially for your taste and body type.
