Here’s How You Can Shop More Sustainably This Season

Being kind to the planet is near the top of practically everyone's priority list right now, but living an environmentally friendly life is easier said than done. But, thanks to more and more brands stepping forward to make a change, it's easier than ever to shop sustainably and swap your single-use products for those that are more earth-conscious.

From Nike T-shirts and hoodies crafted from sustainable materials to adidas Stan Smiths built from vegan fabrics with less material waste, earth-friendly products have even entered the beauty stratosphere and reusable cotton pads are officially the new norm. To make it even easier for you to shop sustainably, we've rounded up some of our favourite products that are kind to your bank account and even kinder to the environment!

Part of Nike's sustainable collection, the Nike Sportswear Womens Crew is a cosy sweatshirt crafted from a fabric blend of at least 90% recycled and organic fibres. Crafted with reducing waste in mind, this jumper is stylish, earth conscious and made to last.

Much like the jumper, these Nike Sportswear Joggers are crafted from sustainable materials that are kind to the planet. Recycled polyester, cotton and organic cotton work in perfect tandem to create a breathable jogger and a speckled Nike logo brings the whole design together.

Unlike the original Stan Smith - which is crafted from leather - this adidas Stan Smith Sustainable is made from vegan leather and recycled materials make up the midsole. With all the signature elements of the OG design, this iteration is more environmentally friendly but no less stylish.

Save your money AND the planet with these Reusable Cotton Pads from Revolution. Gentle on the skin and effective at removing makeup and dirt, these cotton pads are so easy to just pop in the wash and can be reused again and again! So, say goodbye to all those single-use pads in that plastic packaging, because these are the future.

The perfect shopping companion, this Nike Canvas Tote Bag boasts a long shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry. Perfect for when you just need to pop to the shops but don't want to spend 10p on a plastic bag, keep this rolled up in your car and you'll never look back!

An absolute essential for coffee lovers, this Pink Keep Cup is perfect for taking your coffee on-the-go when you need to rush out the door. It comes with a heat-resistant sleeve to protect your hands and it can be used again and again.

Why buy a whole new bottle of self tan when you can just refill the one you have? This Isle of Paradise self-tanning refill uses 81% less plastic than getting a brand-new bottle and it's super cost effective, too!

Plastic straws are now officially banned in the UK (yay!) so you'll need to stock up on reusable metal straws like these ones from Jeffree Star. Easy to pop in your bag when you're heading out and effortless to clean thanks to the accompanying brush, these are an absolute essential.

ICYMI, we're in a pandemic and you have to wear face coverings everywhere. These reusable ones from Levi's are WAY more stylish than those disposable blue ones and they're kinder to the planet, too.

Single-use plastic water bottle are just not a good use of your money. They're full of BPA and they always end up polluting our oceans, so get your hands on a Stojo Collapsible Water Bottle, refill it whenever you need and simply collapse it down when you're done! A space saver and planet saver.

Crafted with waste-reducing materials and a recycled-rubber sole, the Nike Air VaporMax 2020 Flyknit is a step in the right direction for the brand's promise to reduce its carbon footprint! Stylish and environmentally friendly, these sneakers tick every box.
