When choosing clothes for spring and warmer weather, you often find that your wardrobe is missing a few items. T-shirts, button-downs, jeans and chinos are men’s staples this time of year.
However, this is not just a year. Times are a-changin’, and now that the conscious consumer movement has taken hold, you now have the opportunity to vote with your dollars when purchasing spring clothes.
Instead of voting for brands like H&M, which pay workers in Bangladesh minimum wage and, let’s be honest, don’t make the highest quality clothes, you can vote for brands that are almost the opposite. You can vote for brands that make shirts that last, pay workers a living wage, and choose materials that are better for the environment.
In other words, you can dress like you don’t give a damn!
