Eco-responsible men's clothing

What are the most eco-friendly materials for clothing?

For a more environmentally responsible fashion, it is essential to choose sustainable raw materials. Among the most eco-friendly materials, we can mention organic cotton, used in our men's loungewear collection, which is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, thus preserving the health of farmers and ecosystems. Linen, a natural fiber that requires no irrigation or chemicals for cultivation, is also biodegradable and recyclable. Hemp, robust and durable, grows quickly without the need for pesticides or fertilizers and is very water-efficient. Tencel (Lyocell), made from eucalyptus pulp, a fast-growing tree that requires no irrigation, is also environmentally friendly due to a manufacturing process using a non-toxic and recyclable solvent. This is the main material used in our men's homewear range. Lastly, recycled wool helps reduce water and energy consumption needed to produce new fibers.

To adopt an eco-responsible look, it is important to prioritize clothing made from sustainable materials and brands committed to ethical practices. Among the men's clothing choices, you can opt for organic cotton jeans or cotton T-shirts, a light and breathable linen shirt ideal for warmer days, a recycled wool sweater for winter, a soft, light, and breathable Tencel T-shirt, or even a hemp coat, a durable and insulating material perfect for winter.

There are certain habits to adopt when looking for eco-friendly clothing for men, such as choosing organic or recycled natural materials. Similarly, the origin of the materials is important: it's better to favor suppliers or garments made in workshops in Europe. This is the case, for example, with our men's shoe collection. Made in France is not necessarily synonymous with eco-responsibility.

Details are also very important, not only for style but also because they contribute to making a garment more durable and long-lasting. For example, the craftsmanship of a shirt collar or the pockets on a pair of shorts can ensure its longevity.

How can I ensure that my men's clothing is ethical and sustainable?

To ensure that your clothing is produced in an ethical and sustainable way, several actions are possible. First, check for labels and certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), Oeko-Tex, or Fairtrade, which guarantee compliance with social and environmental standards in garment production. We provide a card on each product page detailing the origin of each supplier and workshop we work with.

Choose transparent brands that openly communicate about their supply chains and manufacturing practices. You can also opt for second-hand or recycled clothing, which helps reduce the consumption of natural resources and energy, while limiting waste production. Finally, invest in quality, well-designed, and durable clothing that will last longer and reduce your environmental impact over time.

At Angarde, we primarily work with organic materials such as cotton and wool for our winter shoes. We've worked with these natural fibers around various organic materials. For example, our collection of terry cloth shirts and shorts comes in two colors for men, beige and green, and pairs perfectly with our bamboo terry shoes! Our men's T-shirts, sweatshirts, and tank tops are made from organic cotton jersey. These T-shirts and tank tops pair wonderfully with our espadrilles or men's denim mules.

All our eco-friendly clothing is available for purchase on our website. This collection is also available in our Paris store and at our retailers across France. We have chosen French design and manufacturing in ethical workshops in Guimaraes, Portugal. This production, along with sourcing materials from European suppliers, allows for sustainable fashion without compromising on style or personal comfort.
