OOTD #1 - Everlane

My favourite outfit in India! Introducing Everlane 〰️ Not an ad or discount code because not affiliated.

Because we had to constantly run around visiting stores, I made sure I brought a practical wardrobe. (I am not risking my beige dry-clean only culottes 😅). Jeans just and the other patterned one that I always wear wasn’t formal enough.

我係印度最開心就係着呢一套衫！因為今次要不停走來走去，本來有一條米色嘅但係因為淨係可以乾洗，另外一條我著咗N次嘅係難登大雅之堂

The top

That’s why I got the washed black chino pants — 100% cotton (not the most ecofriendly material though) with an elastic waist with an above-ankle crop. Very breathable too!

呢條褲100%棉（其實用棉係好唔環保嘅，因為佢要用好多水），所以都有啲遺憾，但係用麻就容易皺，用bamboo就未見到有），都幾舒服，唔焗！

The pants

Polka dot oversized top was silk (sorry not #vegan :( ) was smooth and is thick enough to hold weight so less likely to get wrinkled. Also it’s dark in colour so it’s less prone to yellowing under sun and with sweat.

另外件top就係絲質嘅，質地比較厚，唔易皺，同埋深色唔容易因為陽光同汗變黃。

WHY EVERLANE?

Pros

It isn’t perfect but is a ‘less evil’ brand imo. It is one of the pioneers in l fashion being ‘transparent’, detailing how the price breaks down in major components. It also names the factory that makes the garment.

買Everlane係因為佢已經算係'less evil brand'，都算係咁，起碼會話俾你聽佢一件衫拆開production、人工、運輸幾錢，同埋係邊間廠整嘅。

Cons

The downside is that I still am not sure where the materials are from and that their refund procedures are expensive if you’re based in HK. So don’t buy anything unless you’re very sure that it fits.

唔好嘅係我到而家都唔知佢啲料係邊度嚟，同埋個refund過程同埋手續勁貴。

Other sustainable alternatives

There are many other sustainable brands available out there that you can explore. My recent discover is WYL Store which curates so many brands in a fun and cool way! If you’re on the hunt for new clothing, you should definitely check them out!!

其實想搵啲sustainable/eco brands唔係好難。我最近發現咗@wyl_store，佢哋curate好多唔同嘅brand，得閒睇睇！
