Best Sustainable T-Shirts to Add to Your Ethical Wardrobe This Spring – Featuring Selas Cosmos Organic Cotton Tees
As we step into spring in the UK, there’s no better time to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that are not only stylish and breathable but also kind to the planet. At Selas Cosmos, we’re passionate about creating sustainable t-shirts made from 100% organic cotton (its GOTS certified too), lovingly illustrated by us and designed to last.
The Most Sustainable T-Shirt Is the One You Already Own
Before you buy something new, consider what you already have in your wardrobe. The most sustainable t-shirt is the one you already own. Buying less and wearing what you already have is the best way to reduce your fashion footprint. But when you truly need to refresh your basics, opt for something high quality. A well-made, durable tee might cost more upfront, but it will save you money in the long run and help reduce fashion waste over time.
Why Choose Sustainable T-Shirts?
Conventional cotton production is a major contributor to pollution and waste in the fashion industry. Organic cotton, on the other hand, uses significantly less water, is grown without harmful pesticides, and creates a softer, safer fabric for your skin and the environment. This is backed up by the Soil Association, the George Washington University and Cambridge University.
But sustainability isn’t just about fabric. It’s about making clothes that are built to last, not end up in landfill after a season. With high-quality materials and durable prints, Selas Cosmos tees are designed to become wardrobe staples—versatile enough for layering, lounging, or adventuring outdoors as the spring sun warms up. We have some layering blog posts for inspiration.
Fashion Waste & Microplastics: The Hidden Costs of Fast Fashion
Every year, over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are produced globally, with a large portion of this waste made up of cheap, synthetic clothing. Worse still, many fast fashion items are made from plastic-based fibres like polyester, which shed microplastics into our waterways with every wash. These microplastics harm marine life and eventually end up in the food chain and us.
That’s why we only use organic cotton—a natural, biodegradable alternative that’s breathable, long-lasting, and doesn’t pollute our oceans. And for every item, we plant five trees, helping to fight climate change and offset carbon.
Ethically Made, Artistically Designed
All our artwork is original and drawn by us, inspired by nature, music, and the energy of movement. Our prints are minimalist or graphic but full of personality—designed to be conversation starters and expressions of self.
We also work with certified ethical manufacturers through organisations like Fair Wear Foundation, ensuring that the people who make our t-shirts work in safe conditions and are paid fairly. The clothing is vegan and PETA approved too. Kind to humans and animals.
Perfect for Spring: Lightweight, Breathable, & Ethical
As the days grow longer and warmer, our tees are the perfect layer to welcome spring. Whether you’re strolling through the park, heading to a coastal getaway, or just enjoying a slow Sunday morning, a Selas Cosmos tee keeps you cool, comfy, and conscious.
