Did you know that the United States alone produces 14.3 million tons of textile waste per year? That’s about 65 pounds per person! That is a lot of thrown away clothes!
While many people may not see this as a problem, it actually is a problem. A big problem. Especially since most clothes aren’t made to be sustainable or environmentally friendly.
When it comes to environmentally-friendly clothing, for many people style doesn’t come to mind. This is all about to change.
prAna is a clothing company that offers sustainable, recycled, fair trade certified, and hemp items. While prAna designs clothing that looks good, it is also versatile enough for any lifestyle or adventure.
From dresses to yoga wear and tops and bottoms, prAna has a variety of versatile but classy designs. In fact I picked a dress as well as a pair of cargo shorts from the prAna website. If we weren’t expecting accumulating snow tomorrow I’d be wearing them already! Somehow, shorts and dresses don’t go with snow!
As I said, I had the opportunity to try out a couple of prAna pieces including the Cali Dress and the Tess Short. Both are completely versatile and and totally comfortable.
I love the cobalt color of the Cali Dress. This dress is made from all recycled materials and features a scoop neck design with a racerback and empire seam. It’s perfect for a picnic or even as a coverup at the beach.
I also tried the Tess Short in Cargo Green. These shorts are 97% organic cotton with just a touch of stretch. They are mid rise and a standard fit.
I will note that these clothes seem to run a little small, so you might want to consider sizing up — especially if the material is stretchy.
What is particularly great about prAna is the company’s love for the environment. Their products were produced in a way that makes consumers feel great about what they are wearing.
