A selection of garments from sustainable fashion brands.
The days are beginning to shorten, and with them come the drop in temperatures and the season’s garments. That’s why it’s time to talk about the trends for this autumn and next winter. More environmentally conscious garments that go for colour and all kinds of shapes.
The wool cardigan
A wardrobe classic that this season will be worn in two different ways: with a belt to highlight the silhouette or by adding a jumper underneath and a shirt.
From left to right, striped cardigan by Roade; khaki by Arket; red by Sézane and blue by Thinking Mu.
We find, for example, this khaki-coloured one by Arket, made with wool certified under the Responsible Wool Standard. Arket has also launched the Nativa initiative, where it creates garments with regenerative wool that guarantees respect in the supply chain, from farms and factories to spinners, weavers and garment manufacturers.
Thinking Mu, the first sustainable fashion brand in Spain, also stands out. On this occasion, the cardigan has been made with Ecovero fibres obtained from certified sustainable wood and cellulose.
The colour cherry red
Associated with elegance, it symbolises tranquillity, harmony and intuition, but also mystery. This colour is one of the trends for autumn 2024.

The down from Ecoalf, one of the pioneering Spanish brands in sustainable fashion and the first to receive BCorp certification, stands out. It is also a Global Recycling Standard (GRS) certified brand, which guarantees that all the recycled fabrics they use come from recycled sources.
We also find the Stella Mc Cartney blouse, one of the most important fashion brands in terms of sustainability. They do not use leather, feathers, fur or fur. Another of their alliances is that they co-hosted the launch of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s report, A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning the Future of Fashion.
The white shirt
Loathed by many and adored by others, the classic white shirt is once again the timeless trend-setter this autumn/winter. It brings simplicity and versatility to any style, and we can find it with details such as embroidery or pleats, cuts, fitted to the body, oversize…
From left to right, Arket shirt; Yerse shirt; Ecoalf shirt and Miriam Ponsa shirt.
We highlight the Yerse shirt, a brand strongly committed to sustainability in which more than 80% of the collections are made with natural fibres and 28% with organic materials. They also use digital printing, a technique that is more environmentally friendly because it uses up to 80% less water than traditional printing and reduces the carbon footprint by 40%.
Also that of Miriam Ponsa, a brand focused on local production in local workshops, based on environmental sustainability, the artisanal process and values such as recovering, recycling and reusing.
The cape and scarf over the shoulder
The scarf is one of the most versatile accessories. It can be placed in the simplest way, over the shoulders and letting it fall on both sides; trying it with a belt, taking one end of the shoulders and crossing it over the other… We also find all kinds of fabrics: cotton, linen, cashmere or wool.
From left to right, Thinking Mu scarf; from SKFK, Ecoalf and Teixidors.
In this selection we highlight the SKFK scarf, made with organic cotton with GOTS certificate, which allows the marketing of organic textile products worldwide. It is a sustainable and timeless fashion brand that makes garments with low-impact fibres, fair production and Fairtrade.
Also Teixidors, a brand of homewear and accessories where they weave by hand with high quality natural fibres, taking into account the origin and traceability. They work with merino wool, yak wool and cashmere from Mongolian cooperatives, as well as 100% European linen with Masters of linen® certification.
The wide blazer
The blazer is another wardrobe classic, but this season it is also worn with a belt to cinch in jackets or blazers.
From left to right, SKFK, Yerse, Arket and Leneim.
We highlight Leneim, a brand that advocates avoiding overproduction and focusing on circularity. They reuse patterns and fabrics, especially organic ones, as well as surplus textiles discarded by the industry. Eighty per cent of the materials they use are unused leftovers. They are also committed to local craftsmanship with suppliers around them to reduce their carbon footprint and promote the local economy.
