There are many ways to help our planet. You can reduce the use of single-use plastics, turn off the lights, lower your heat, take shorter showers, the list is endless.

But did you know you can buy environmentally friendly clothing? We partnered with Honest Kelowna to show the fashionable yet ethical side of fashion.

Honest Kelowna has popular brands that are super cute, comfortable and bring pizazz to your style, match your values, and are sustainable.

 

East N West

East N West is a clothing company that uses 90% deadstock material.

Deadstock refers to the use of left over materials to create garments, for East N West this adds a new level of uniqueness to their pieces as once one is created it can't be replicated, truly making it one of a kind!

 

*BONUS* 

You'll feel extra cute knowing you're doing your part to keep unused textiles out of the landfill!

Hard Tail

For the last 20 years, Hardtail has believed that the future is female!

Their goal is to motivate and empower women to reach for their dreams. 

Family-owned and operated, the company has run out of California since its inception and prides itself on minimum outsourcing for materials and manufacturing. 

Spiritual Gangster

Spiritual Gangster is a movement that is hidden by its apparel.

The brand strives to inspire individuals to be healthy and treat everything fairly and with love.

Spiritual Gangster uses proceeds from each item sold to donate a meal to an individual in need. To date they have gifted more than 11 million meals!

To top it off, the off-the-shoulder look is forever timeless.

Keep the boho look, or you can change it up — the beauty is that everything goes with an off-the-shoulder piece.

Especially in black, since neutral tones match with every colour. 

Jumpsuits for daysAgain, if you don’t want to think about a matching outfit, or if you just want to be with the times, a jumpsuit is the answer.

You can play it up or dress it down with a perfect accessory.

These little pieces are also very comfortable. Is there any better way to start your day than being comfortable and fashionable?

Versatile, you can  keep things casual like we did with the addition of flats and a denim jacket or dress it up with a colourful blouse! 

 

Jean jackets never go out of style!They’ve been a staple in wardrobes since the ‘60s.

This jacket is a boyfriend style, a trend that we never want to lose.

It’s perfectly slouchy, but still structured enough to frame our bodies. The frayed bottom matches the new fray trend for jean material.

And its a zipper close! Farewell pesky buttons, hello quick and easy ventilation.

Go above and beyond this Earth Day by getting started on your sustainable wardrobe.
