What is eco-chic fashion?

Eco-chic fashion is a term that is becoming increasingly common today. It simply means “a combination of trendy clothing using environmental friendly products”. Eco-chic fashion is the trendiest items of style. The eco-chic mentality goes far beyond clothing, accessories, and cosmetics made from organic cotton, bamboo, corn, hemp and soy products. It is also demonstrative of one’s social status which extends to the socio-cultural aspects of life where having trendy designer fashions sold at hip retailers is important – down to the trendy slogan emblazoned on a shopping bag made from recyclable or “sustainable” (i.e.: “green’) materials.  

Many boutiques offer high-fashion clothing, accessories, and cosmetics at affordable prices that utilize “green” concepts of recycling, reducing, and reusing products to eliminate waste. Customers are empowered to shop wiser by investing in merchandise that is eco-conscious, affordable, and chic. In addition to superior client services, many boutiques offer unique and fine quality products that are sustainable, fashionable, and economical. These boutiques build relationships with every customer by providing a human-connection which increases self-image, overall satisfaction, loyalty, and produces high returns.

Eco-chic fashion is about choosing clothing, accessories, and cosmetics manufactured in an environmentally sound way; whether through sustainable materials or bio-friendly production without sacrificing one’s ideal of style, comfort, and aesthetics. Consumers now have the opportunity to look and feel good while demonstrating an eco-conscious lifestyle.
