I'm going to show you a few of my favourite pieces from their edit to show you how little changes in your wardrobe can make a huge difference to the environment:
ASOS DESIGN chunky midi dress with side split in recycled blend:

I've genuinely wanted one of these sweater dresses for the longest time and I still don't own one so I will definitely be purchasing this on pay day. I love the colour of this dress and I think paired with a black chunky belt, it will look fab! In the description it states that this dress is made with recycled polyester, plastic bottles and textile waste are processed into plastic chips which are melted into new fibres, this saves water and energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Learn something new everyday!
ASOS DESIGN long sleeve pep hem sweat dress:

This dress is just something a bit different and I love the little fabric belt you get with it. I think paired with some tights and heeled boots, this dress would look amazing in the autumn/winter months! ASOS currently partner with the Better Cotton Initiative to improve cotton farming globally which makes it better for the cotton farmers and the environment. This promotes things like water efficiency and and reducing harmful chemicals. I think considering this dress is 100% cotton £22 is a steal!
ASOS DESIGN midi skirt with box pleats:

| https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-midi-skirt-with-box-pleats/prd/11590068?clr=black&colourWayId=16379341&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
I think this skirt is so versatile and can be paired with pretty much anything which is why I love buying pieces like this as you can get so many wears out of them! I'd style it with a chunky knit jumper and chunky trainers or chelsea boots. This skirt is made from soft Lenzing™ EcoVero™ which comes from renewable sources, it's made from wood pulp from responsibly managed forests. Showing a fully transparent supply chain, the process saves water and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 50%. It's only £16 too!!!
ASOS DESIGN fluffy jumper with cowl neck in recycled blend:

Everyone needs a black chunky knit jumper in their life and why not get this one which is again, made with recycled polyester? It's only
£25! I'd style this with a pair of blue mom jeans and black heeled boots with a leather jacket for a casual day look. I love the cowl neck look mainly to keep warm during the autumn/winter months!
ASOS DESIGN cropped boyfriend cardigan in rib:

I've been obsessed with how cardigans look recently and I think paired with a pair of jeans and boots, they make the whole outfit look well put together. This cardigan is on sale at the moment priced at £22 reduced by £6 and it's made from 100% cotton. I would definitely recommend this piece for the autumn and winter months.
ASOS DESIGN balloon sleeve trench coat:

| https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-balloon-sleeve-trench-coat/prd/12137585?clr=khaki&colourWayId=16412233&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
This coat is slightly more on the pricier side but I can understand why as it's amazing!!!! This coat would help pull any outfit together and make you look ready to go in a second. I love the balloon sleeves and the belt which comes with the coat, I think this is the perfect autumn coat for those important meetings in the office. Again, this coat is made from 100% cotton with the lining being 100% polyester.
ASOS DESIGN tie waist casual jumpsuit in jersey slub:
 |
| https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-tie-waist-casual-jumpsuit-in-jersey-slub/prd/13169793?clr=black&colourWayId=16459968&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
I call this the 'I want to look presentable but I don't have the effort' look which is me some (most) days. I think this jumpsuit is perfect to just throw on in the morning with some trainers and a leather jacket and you're good to go. Again, this is made from 100% cotton which promotes water efficiency and reduces harmful chemicals.
ASOS DESIGN tracksuit ultimate sweat / jogger with tie:
 |
| https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-tracksuit-ultimate-sweat-jogger-with-tie/prd/13056416?clr=grey-marl&colourWayId=16471717&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
This is another look for those days you just can't be bothered. This tracksuit can make you look ready for the day if you style it with some trainers and a leather jacket. It's the perfect cosy outfit too for the cold weather we're having! The cotton they use in this piece is also part of the Better Cotton Initiative.
ASOS DESIGN branded cotton tote bag:
 |
| https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-branded-cotton-tote-bag/prd/11928401?clr=black&colourWayId=16390309&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a sucker for a tote bag so I had to include one in this blog post 🤣
This tote can go with pretty much any outfit, I use tote bags for university as they can easily hold all my books and notes. This tote is made with lightweight woven fabric and is made from organic cotton.It's grown with less water and no pesticides so it's a win-win, improving the environment for both wildlife and cotton farmers. It's only £6 too.
ASOS DESIGN rib headband in recycled polyester in beige:
 |
| https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-rib-headband-in-recycled-polyester-in-beige/prd/11865160?clr=oatmeal&colourWayId=16433693&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
I absolutely love headbands like these, they're so cute! (and great for keeping your head warm during winter). I especially love the colour of this one and it can be worn with pretty much anything. It's made from recycled polyester and is only £5.
Converse cream Chuck Taylor Hi All Star Renew recycled trainers:

| https://www.asos.com/converse/converse-cream-chuck-taylor-hi-all-star-renew-recycled-trainers/prd/12920057?clr=pale-putty&colourWayId=16441294&SearchQuery=&cid=28981 |
Wow I LOVE these. They are made from 100% textile and the sole is 100% rubber. I love the colour of them as they can be styled with pretty much anything, whether it's jeans, skirts, trousers etc. I've always loved converse but now I know they do a renew range, I'm sure it's something I'll be buying into more often. I love the little quote on the sole which says 'life's too short to waste'. Definitely worth a look if you're into converse and want to be more sustainable with your clothing choices.
So there's just a small look into the responsible edit on ASOS. They have over 3500 items in there so it's definitely worth having a look. When buying clothes, if you can buy sustainably for a reasonable price, why wouldn't you? Every small change helps the environment without compromising your daily style choices. Hope you enjoyed this blog post! Let me know whether sustainability in the fashion industry is something you care about? Will you be making more fashion-conscious choices when buying clothing in the future?
