In honor of Earth Month, here's a sustainable way to keep getting fashion-forward outfits without the commitment.&nbsp;

While buying the latest trending pieces is always a nice boost of serotonin, it's not always environmentally friendly. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2021-cfda-awards-meet-the-emerging-designers-nominees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fashion industry</a> contributes tremendously to pollution. <a href="https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2021/06/10/why-fashion-needs-to-be-more-sustainable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia University's Climate School</a> reports that the fashion industry is "responsible for 10 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, 20 percent of global wastewater, and uses more energy than the aviation and shipping sectors combined." As <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/new-sustainable-lingerie-brand-etam-nordstrom-sustainability-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainability</a> and keeping our <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/fashion-pact-climate-change-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate</a> controlled becomes more of a prevalent issue, it's important that the fashion industry is doing its part to lessen its effects.&nbsp;
In honor of April being <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/earth-day-tips-for-living-sustainably" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth</a> Month, LOFFICIEL&nbsp;is exploring ways in which we can be more eco-conscious. One big way to lessen fashion's effects on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/patagonia-is-fighting-back-against-trump-s-latest-attack-on-the-environment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">environment</a> is by renting clothes. Instead of buying a new outfit that you'll only wear once, try renting it. Renting clothes is an eco-friendly way to keep up with the latest trends and try out pieces you might not be able to get otherwise. Here are some of the top fashion <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jean-paul-gaultier-vintage-rental-service-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rental service</a>s to try out this Earth Month!
