There\u2019s currently a strong counterculture taking place across the world. A counterculture is a set of values or beliefs that go against the current culture\u2019s norms (think the hippie movement). All over people are becoming more conscious of their choices and the causes they want to support. However, sometimes they are unsure of how to best join the counterculture. If you\u2019re looking for an easy way to get started, buying some apparel that supports your values or causes is a great place to start. Here are 5 apparel brands you can explore that offer products that go against the current culture. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

#1 \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/b>The Cupcake Factory<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First up we have The Cupcake Factory. This apparel brand is based out of Los Angeles and specializes in products you won\u2019t see in mainstream stores. Specifically, this is a brand you should explore if you want to display your enjoyment of weed or promote the weed culture. Weed is becoming more accepted around the country, but it is still very much not in the culture. With some apparel from The Cupcake Factory you can join this part of the counterculture and start destigmatizing the negative associations that come with smoking weed. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

#2 \u2013 Able<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

ABLE is a great clothing brand to consider if you\u2019re interested in shopping from a brand that really cares about its ethics. Many mainstream brands don\u2019t have the best business practices. They create their clothing in sweatshops, don\u2019t hire a diverse group of people, and don\u2019t pay their employees enough. ABLE publishes their wages, works to empower women, and is completely transparent about the production process. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the ABLE website you\u2019ll find plenty of trendy and minimalist clothing options, but they are perhaps more well known for their jewelry and handbags. Whatever you end up purchasing, you\u2019ll be able to rest easy knowing you supported a company that has a strong moral compass. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

#3 \u2013 Frank and Oak<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The great thing about Frank and Oak is that while you can shop their apparel online like you would with other brands, you can also sign up for a subscription box. With this service you\u2019ll have handpicked clothing delivered to your door each month for one low cost. All of the items within the box are ethically sourced and supports their sustainable initiatives. If you want to start dressing in a more minimalist style while still <\/span>keeping up with the latest trends<\/a><\/strong>, get some surprise items in your mail each month, and support important causes, Frank and Oak is a great place to start. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

#4 \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/b>All Riot<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All Riot is a progressive apparel company that is all about changing the status quo. They are involved in a number of different causes, from being pro-choice to protecting the environment. Many of their clothing items seek to send a message, so if you want to get some conversations started about your favorite causes, this is a good place to shop. The products are all of a high quality and come in a number of different styles. All Riot isn\u2019t the place to shop if you\u2019re just looking to blend into the crowd \u2013 rather, it\u2019s a place for apparel that will get noticed and get people thinking. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

#5 \u2013 Reformation<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

For on-trend pieces that support a sustainable lifestyle, look at Reformation. Reformation provides fair wages to all their employees and creates their products from sustainable and upcycled materials. You can even see how each item you buy specifically impacts the environment around you. Reformation also purchases carbon offsets, in yet another attempt to help out the environment. In a culture where not enough people think about the impacts their buying choices has on the environment, you can shop at a brand like Reformation that puts a lot of consideration into the topic. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

#6 \u2013 Black Lives Matter<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, we have what is perhaps the biggest counterculture movement currently taking place. The Black Lives Matter movement is all about securing racial justice across the country. There are a number of ways you can support this cause, but one of them is buying apparel from their site directly. Each item you buy not only promotes the cause, but it helps to fund their various initiatives. You can check out <\/span>their selection of items here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Join the Counterculture<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Joining the counterculture doesn\u2019t mean you need to sell your home and start living in a tent. Changing your buying habits to support more sustainable businesses in the counterculture is a great place to start. Explore the brands on this list and you\u2019re sure to feel better about your purchasing decisions. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
