Stocking your wardrobe with eco-friendly fabrics from designers that use low-impact dyes, vegan materials, and sustainable processes is an honorable goal—but it's also not something you can do overnight. If you're ready to get started, though, begin with these basics and then build on them over time. (And those good-condition clothes that you're replacing? Donate them, of course.)
The little black dress: Listen, if Coco Chanel says it's a wardrobe staple, then it's a wardrobe staple. The LBD comes in an infinite array of lengths, fabrics, and necklines, but it's always easy to dress up or down. Try a draped-neck Little Black Dress from Viridis Luxe.
The perfect pair of jeans: Much like the perfect black dress, they'll serve for lazy Saturday brunches or Saturday night out depending on the shoes and jewelry you pair with them. Organic denim from Loomstate always fits the bill.
The versatile t-shirt: Wear your heart on your sleeve-or, on your chest-with organic t-shirts from Patagonia that sport artsy schools of fish, eco-minded slogans (like the simple, "Eat Local"), and whimsical illustrations-plus, Patagonia will take them back for recycling (not that you'll ever want to give them up).
