Affordable organic cotton casual clothing (good choices)

We would all like to wear more organic clothing, but where do you find brands that are affordable rather than designer? Here are the most affordable organic clothing brands in England, to help build a sustainable capsule wardrobe. They still pay farmers and makers fairly.

Launder synthetic fabrics in a microfibre filter (or just buy 100% natural fabrics, far simpler!) 

Donate unwanted clothing to small charity shops (not big ones that test on animals). Recycle damaged/stained clothing at textile banks (shredded into insulation and other goods).

PLAINANDSIMPLE (neutral organic casual clothing)

If you love clean lines, neutral colors, and minimalist design, PLAINANDSIMPLE is a brand worth adding to your radar. They focus heavily on circular design, ensuring their clothes never end up in a landfill.

This brand offers premium understates casual wardrobe staples, from everyday tops and heavyweight t-shirts to relaxed sweatshirts and skirts or dresses. Each item is made to last, then you can send them  back to be recycled.
