Veganism is becoming an ever more popular lifestyle because of the health benefits it provides; vegans don't eat anything involved with animals, such as dairy or even honey. That mindset has now spilled over into the fashion world.

What is vegan clothing? Clothing is considered vegan if it is cruelty-free and doesn't feature any animal parts, such as real fur or leather. Many brands have started selling faux fur, fake leather, and feathers that aren't actually from animals.

If you're thinking about buying a few pieces of vegan clothing but don't know where to start, here are a few animal-friendly companies to try: Herbivore, The Dharma Store, and Plant Faced Clothing. Cruelty-free fashion is rising in popularity, and this is probably not a shortsighted trend.
