The best thing about fashion is how it allows us to express ourselves with what we wear – but do your clothes reflect your values as well as your style?

Many people are buying more consciously in terms of the environment by looking for sustainable fabrics and manufacturing methods.

However, to promote a more equal industry, others are shopping from diverse independent businesses and putting their money where their mouths are.

Supporting Black-owned brands doesn’t just help marginalised entrepreneurs (who currently receive just 1% of venture capital investment, it also gives you the chance to broaden your horizons style-wise.

Initiatives like Black Pound Day are invaluable for helping put the spotlight on underrepresented businesspeople, but it’s worth making the effort year-round to be purposeful with what you’re buying.

Showcasing some of the incredible work of Black designers – both here in the UK and further afield – these menswear pieces are our favourites to snap up now.
