How H&M Is Taking Action To Embrace Sustainability This Spring

Spring often evokes a personal calling to connect with nature, and while tending to a garden or picking up trash is always a nice way to show love to the earth, there are other things we can do in our everyday lives to be more mindful of the planet we live on. One of these things is making more sustainable clothing choices.

Thanks to H&M, you don’t have to go far for eco-conscious dressing, and you don’t have to break your bank account, either. H&M’s Spring 2021 collection is a sartorial wonderland of ’90s-inspired pieces, many of which are made from natural materials that’ll help you reach your sustainable fashion goals faster than ever.

Think: easy-to-wear pieces like pinafore dresses and paper-bag shorts made from organic linen, an old-school fabric sourced from the flax plant, which uses less water in production. Just pair them with a crop top or throw on a cardigan for a breezy spring adventure. You’ll feel good knowing that you’re wearing beautiful garments made from organic textiles, as well as more innovative fabrics like Agraloop™ BioFibre™, which is made from food crop waste, and Tencel™ Lyocell, a material sourced from tree cellulose.

Even better, this collection is only a part of H&M’s broader plan for a more sustainable fashion future. Currently, 65% of the materials used by H&M are sustainably sourced, organic, or recycled, and they plan to increase this annually so it reaches 100% by the year 2030. Think about how awesome that is — you can continue to wear cute, cool clothing that’s actually helping to save the planet.
