Celebrate Earth Day with Fashionable Finds that Give Back
Is one day really enough to honor the environment? We think not! Cute clothing (like a striped tee from Amour Vert) and awesome accessories (like a tote from Feed) will help you celebrate well after Earth Day has passed. The best part? These items are all associated with eco-friendly causes. Go green!
1/9These eco-friendly items do and look good.
2/9Amour Vert
With the brand’s Tammy tee, seeing stripes also means being green. How so? With every purchase, Amour Vert plants a tree through its partnership with American Forest. And get this: Amour Vert also utilizes wood pulp in its garment production.

3/9A Lot to Say
The California-based brand transforms recycled plastic bottles into clothing, accessories, and home goods, with all items priced under $100. Our favorite? This tote bag that displays A Lot to Say’s message loud and proud. A portion of the brand’s proceeds are donated to its philanthropic partners, which include Heal the Bay, the International Green Energy Council, and the Animal Rescue Foundation.

4/9Etnies
Skater style becomes eco-friendly with Etnies’s "Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree" program. It’s exactly what it sounds like: By purchasing one of the brand’s designated styles, Etnies plants a tree in return. Since the initiative’s inception in 2011, Etnies has planted over 169,000 trees in Costa Rica and Brazil.
