The fact is, even the most eco conscious chap with only the vaguest interest in style can&#8217;t help but feel a little put out when a hunt for an eco-friendly t-shirt can only produce a motheaten number that looks like something from a primary school nativity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Although the style and quality of men&#8217;s offerings has been gradually increasing, the range and choice on offer has been limited to say the least.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Part of the problem lies in the bigger retail picture. Take a walk down the average high street and you don&#8217;t have to be hawk-eyed to notice that womenswear dominates the mainstream clothing market &#8211; by as much as 80%.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/category\/fashion\/mens\/\">Eco menswear<\/a> is effectively a niche market within a niche market, so naturally it&#8217;s difficult to attract to top designers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">But fear not, gents &#8211; the signs are in the air that change is afoot. The eco market is expanding, and some of those small-but-hugely-talented design houses are getting some exposure. This means more choice for guys, and here at Ethical Superstore we&#8217;re increasing our range accordingly, with a <a href=\"..\/..\/category\/fashion\/mens\/\">greater variety available now<\/a>, and further additions on their way in the very near future with the launch of our Autumn\/Winter collection &#8211; watch this space!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3007\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/207535-mens-top-model.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3007\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3007\" title=\"207535-mens-top-model\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/207535-mens-top-model.jpg\" alt=\"One\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/207535-mens-top-model.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/207535-mens-top-model-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the stylish numbers available in our range<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Whether you want to stand out and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/fair-trade-media\/sos-fairtrade-t-shirt\/\" target=\"_self\">make a statement with your eco clothing<\/a>, or just<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/green-books\/fair-trade-mens-byron-bay-jacket\/\" target=\"_self\"> sit back, relax and look classy<\/a> in the knowledge that the threads you&#8217;re wearing were ethically produced, you&#8217;ll find it with us. But Eco fashion isn&#8217;t just about conventional clothing produced with organic materials and under Fairtrade conditions. It&#8217;s about imaginative, quirky products, and finding creative uses for old materials. That&#8217;s where the likes of the <a href=\"..\/..\/products\/eako\/recycled-fire-hose-belt---one-prong-buckle\/\" target=\"_self\">recycled fire hose belt<\/a> step in. Stylish, inventive, unique, and ultimately, green &#8211; this is surely the kind of product eco menswear and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/category\/fashion\/mens\/underwear\/\">organic men&#8217;s underwear<\/a> needs to really build itself around in order to become a completely\u00a0 accessible option for men.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So Eco menswear still has a way to go before it can rival the <a href=\"..\/..\/category\/fashion\/womens\/\" target=\"_self\">stylish range of options available for the ladies<\/a>, which is no mean feat. But with the increasing demand for such clothing, and the associated benefits that demand brings, the future is looking bright for men&#8217;s neglected wardrobes everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the chief criticisms of the burgeoning eco-fashion scene has been the relative dearth of stylish options for all the fellas out there.
