08 Apr 6 Ways to Wear Green this Spring
Everyone has colors they think they rock and colors they think really don’t compliment them. For instance, I am trying to get over my aversion to yellow, orange, and brown. Green is one that I’ve heard friends complain about. My sister gave some of her greens to Goodwill because she felt it looked too Christmasy. So here are six looks that embrace the color green in all its beautiful shades
Embrace spring fun with this amazing zero-waste suit. Seriously, I love it so much. For styling, there isn’t much more you need because the suit itself is such a statement and beautifully made. You don’t need to really dress it up with bright accessories and you don’t want to take away from the craftsmanship either. I recommend basic neutral tones to let the suit itself really shine. Note on the items below. The cami pictured is from The Podolls, an ethical brand based in San Francisco, but they discontinued it so I replaced it with a cami from Amour Vert.
Made with 100% natural no-dye vegetable-tanned leather. Made in East London by local artisans.
Made from African cow horn and labradorite gemstones sourced from ethical mines in Madagascar, Africa then crafted by artisans in Kenya.
No one tells’s you that sweater dresses are an actually super versatile pieces of clothing. Think about where you would wear this look- maybe to work, maybe out for a sustainable, safe, fun, curling up with some tights because it’s Spring and you want to wear a dress but it’s still snowing? Maybe you throw it on for coffee? Or dress it up with some pink heels? It doesn’t matter because the look has classic colors that mean it looks appropriate in looks at different settings, and it’s super comfortable.

This sustainable outfit is a sustainable work-appropriate outfit that can go from day to night easily. Once everything started coming together and I got all these 60’s vibes. I think the kitten heels really brought that all out. So wear it to work, take a picture in it, and remember it for that theme party that’s coming up soon.

You don’t have to wait for St. Patrick’s Day to add green to your outfit. This look is all about the green accent. It’s also a good time to celebrate one of the natures most prominent colors. This look is a perfect cold weather look, but the green top is silk so it can be a prominent all year piece and the jacket is AMAZING alpaca wool so it self-regulates. Basically, that means that it will keep you warm, but not too warm.
With silk and an ethical Italian production cycle.
Gabriela Hearst sources the wool she uses from her farm in Uruguay.
Okhtein produces their bags with a hyperlocal mindset. Each product they make has beautiful cultural associations.

Kimsu uses recycled silver and gold vermeil. All the stones in the jewelry are also ethically sourced stones.
Prince Harry and Megan Markle might have The Spice Girls perform at their wedding party! I’m all for more girl power in the world and this is a look or an updated green sporty-luxe spice. It’s still loose and cool. The entire look is filled with sustainable luxury brands and has more muted colors. She could sing for the Prince or be that fabulous lady at the supermarket in her kicks (these are heels because I’m short and lovvvveee heels) and sporty pants.
These pants are made in Brazil with ethical production and local suppliers. Ergrey also supports a local NGO organization called ANIMA, that works on social assistance projects.
This is such a beautiful heel and the materials are pretty awesome too. The leather is salmon and it’s tanned with rhubarb.
The fabric is 100% GOTS certified organically grown cotton and produced ethically in India.
My looks are all about how style can be sustainably made and ethically produced and I get outfit inspiration from all sorts of places. Today I have a TV recommendation as well as a style one! Have you seen the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon (bad company/good tv)? If you haven’t you should go watch it. The show is super funny and about a woman in the 1960’s who becomes a stand-up comic. It also has amazing fashion inspiration. It reminded me that bright green and blue are an amazing color combination and that inspired this look.
The dress is made in India at a factory with ethical practices that Emily & Fin have had a longstanding relationship with.
SUSU has fair trade practices and works with the indigenous women of the Wayúu in Colombia. The knits are handmade with a single string technique which is oldest and most authentic Wayúu knitting style.
