Eco-friendly fashion has never had particularly glamorous connotations. But living the sustainable life doesn’t have to be unfashionable. In fact, a new generation of designers is building brands with a more conscious approach to fashion at their core. They are finding ways to sustainably create products that are as chic (if not more) than their counterparts that are less friendly to the planet.
Here are 7 of my favorite sustainable brands that make you feel and look good…
While Everlane is certainly not new to the sustainability game, their latest spring collection is one of my favs.

One of the most committed labels in sustainable fashion right now. The French footwear brand uses organic cotton and sustainable Amazonian rubber to make their shoes and refuses to work with any leather manufacturers from the Amazon, where cattle farming has been a major contributor to deforestation. On top of that, they use airtight stock management procedures to avoid overproduction and waste.
