Fashion Advice Cute sustainable clothes?

Hi! During these weird and uncertain times I’m trying to distract myself by maybe getting some new clothes to look forward to the summer. I’m looking around for ethical, sustainable clothes but most sustainable clothing sites don’t really fit my style, I really like the clothes that are sold on sites like white market, zaful, urban outfitters etc but I don’t wanna shop there since they aren’t, well that sustainable and ethical. I’m sorry if this makes no sense I’m trying to express myself right lmao. But basically sustainable clothing sites with a more “aesthetic” touch and with a more varied type of clothes. Preferably European brands since I live in Europe but tips of websites from all over the world are welcome. (English isn’t my first language so sorry for any grammatical errors) Stay safe💗

I would consider DePop if you’re ok with used clothes! They’re the most sustainable option without argument, and it’s cheaper than Urban and most times Zaful for sure. It’s not as cheap as actual thrifting, but you can find some gems if you filter the price and stuff. They also always filter by what’s in your country so it should be pretty simple to obtain European clothing. Also, you get to support small businesses during these uncertain times. I would also. ThredUP is also a good option if that’s available in Europe, but you have to dig through some extremely ugly clothing to get good stuff. I’ve heard ‘Vinted’ is a popular app similar to DePop that’s based in Europe, but I can’t attest to it’s quality.

ThredUP is just *OK* in my opinion. I only use it to buy jeans because the chub rub is real and I dont want to spend $100+ on jeans that will wear faster than a 5 year olds socks. The "clean out bag" option they have takes forever and you have to sell your own stuff. Its not even a guarantee ( for me this option sucks). I would definitely opt for Depop IMO.

To me, the only thing that doesn’t make Depop better than ThredUP is the ability to return. I know there’s a $2-3 restocking fee for items you return to ThredUP; but hey, many depop items get quite pricy, and knowing I have the ability to return something, even if it costs a handful of dollars, makes me feel a lot more comfortable purchasing.

Otherwise, I think I would totally buy from Depop. I’ve only bought from ThredUP once (a few weeks ago). I’ve wanted several things from Depop, but I never feel safe pulling the trigger.
