Top Sustainable Fashion Brands for Men in 2026

The fashion industry isn’t exactly famous for its positive effect on the environment. Quite the opposite in fact. As much as we’re all for dressing well, it’s important to understand that the textile industry is responsible for a staggering 10% of global carbon emissions. And as we continue to buy more, that number is only going one way.

One small step we can all take to reduce our footprint is to be a bit savvier about what we buy and where we buy it – shopping with brands that have a demonstrable commitment to lessening their impact on the environment, either through their manufacturing process, build quality and repairability, recycling, or a combination of all of the above.

But who are these brands? And other than their sustainability credentials, why should you be spending your money with them?

Below is a selection of our favourite sustainable fashion brands, spanning everything from robust outdoor gear to well-made wardrobe basics to high fashion.

Luca Faloni

Best for: Italian craftsmanship and timeless design

Slow fashion is at the heart of Luca Faloni’s approach. The brand partners with Italian artisans to create luxury staples in small batches, using only the best natural fibres — think brushed cotton, pure cashmere and linen spun in Bergamo mills.

By focusing on timeless designs rather than seasonal trends, the brand promotes a more sustainable approach to dressing: buy fewer pieces but wear them for years.

It’s modern Italian elegance, built to last.

Velasca

Best for: Italian shoes with a slow-fashion ethos

Handcrafted in Italy, Velasca is rooted in heritage and longevity. Its shoes are produced by skilled artisans in Montegranaro, using traditional methods that are designed to stand the test of time.

The brand’s direct-to-consumer model cuts waste and keeps prices accessible while supporting local craft communities.

Velasca has also expanded into shirting and apparel, applying the same principles of quality and durability — proof that sustainability can be baked into slow fashion, not just technical fabrics.

Form&Thread

Best for: Elevated essentials with a conscience

This London-based label does understated, impeccably made basics using organic materials and low-impact dyes. Everything is crafted in Europe in small batches, and transparency is the driving force behind every decision.

ISTO

Best for: Timeless Portuguese-made basics

ISTO is a relatively new brand that, in its own words, has had little time to ruin the planet. Yet from the outset, the Portuguese premium basics label has been committed to making its environmental impact as small as possible. This is achieved through a mix of local production, the use of organic materials and by limiting the amount of chemicals and water used during production.

It also ensures longevity via high build quality and forgoing fashion trends in favour of timeless styles that can be called upon season after season, year after year.

Best for: Premium wardrobe essentials with purpose

ASKET is one of our favourite labels when it comes to premium wardrobe basics. The Swedish brand offers a tightly curated collection of staple items, all made to a very high standard.

Clothing is handmade to lessen the impact on the environment, packaging is eco friendly and it uses low-impact non-toxic dyes for most of its products.

There are plenty of reasons to like ASKET, and its sustainability credentials are another.

If you’re a fan of Vans skate shoes but enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your footwear is ethically and sustainably produced, then Cariuma will be right up your street.

The brand specialises in crafting high-quality kicks using recycled and vegan materials (65% of its sneakers are 100% vegan), only working with factories that guarantee its workers are treated fairly and make a comfortable, living wage.

Not only that, but for every pair of shoes purchased, Cariuma plant a tree in the Brazilian rainforest to directly aid in the restoration and preservation of these natural habitats. So your wardrobe and Mother Nature will thank you.

Patagonia

Best for: Repairable outdoor gear with cult appeal

Californian outdoor brand Patagonia has a proven track record when it comes to environmental responsibility. So much so that it has actively run advertising campaigns telling people to repair their old Patagonia gear rather than shopping for more. This is backed up by the brand’s trademark rugged build quality and Ironclad Guarantee, which promises to repair, replace or refund any garment with manufacturing defects.

There’s also a cool program called Worn Wear, which enables customers to buy and sell their vintage Patagonia gear, further reducing the need for new stuff to be produced.

Nudie Jeans

Best for: Eco-conscious denim with real durability

Sustainability was at the core of Swedish denim brand Nudie’s philosophy long before it became an industry buzzword. Nudie uses sustainable fabrics almost exclusively, reuses the bulk of its offcuts, extends product lifespans by offering in-store repairs and actively encourages its customers to wash their jeans less.

On top of that, these jeans are extremely robust and built to last, meaning it’ll be much longer until you have to repair or replace them when compared with denim from a lesser label.

Christopher Raeburn

Best for: Upcycled fashion with a statement

Christopher Raeburn is an English fashion designer with a unique approach to clothing. His designs are known for being reworked from recycled and surplus materials, and he has previously used everything from old military supplies to parachute canopies in order to create his pieces.

His eponymous label has won several awards for its responsible approach to design and manufacture, and although some of his garments may be a bit ‘out there’ for more understated dressers, the brand ethos is something that we hope to see spreading to all corners of the menswear world.
