Whether you’re back at the office—or just tired of wearing the same old sweats at home—your workwear lineup could probably use a refresh.
While curbing fast fashion in mind, here are several sustainable apparel and accessories brands with quality products and quality production methods to consider for investment pieces that will last you longer than a few seasons.
Another Tomorrow
Crafted in Italy, Another Tomorrow touts itself as a “farm-to-fabric atelier,” with ultra-fine ethical, farm-sourced, merino wool suiting separates, including the Double Breasted Jacket and Wide Leg Suit Pant now in the “Prince of Wales” plaid palette. Other options that will span seasons include the long sleeve crewneck tee dress, made from custom organic cotton and Tencel blend with a hint of stretch (and would also work for both casual and formal events), and the extremely elegant tailored overcoat made with recycled wool.
Argent
The pink pantsuit is everywhere right now, and among the most attainable options at an affordable but well-made price point is from Argent, a women’s workwear brand that defines itself as one that promotes gender equality, most recently demonstrated by an activation tied to National Voters Registration Day in September. Made from “seasonless wool,” the blazer and matching pants are made from a lightweight fabric that is temperature-regulating and odor- and wrinkle-resistant, so it can be worn year-round on its own or with an overcoat in colder temperatures.
AYR
An abbreviation for All Year Round, AYR produces quality staples that you can truly wear all year round, either on their own or layered in cooler temperatures. For fall and winter, the brand has a number of workwear-appropriate options in pima cotton and merino wool, including the “Big Win” overcoat for men, the “Espionage” trench for women, and the aptly-named, stretchy “Crowd Pleaser” dress.
Ben Sherman
British label Ben Sherman recently launched a new line that is perfect for working from the office, working from home, and anywhere in between. Heritage in Motion, a new men’s fashion performance line, uses technical fabrics designed to help to withstand the elements protecting from heat, cold, and water, keeping the body temperature regulated and dry, making it ideal for active lifestyles on the move. The capsule collection comprises several silhouettes, with advanced design details for maximum movement and comfort, including styles in bold color-blocking.
Cozy Earth
From supremely comfy drawstring pants to ultra soft pullovers, Cozy Earth offers a combination of luxury bedding and loungewear made with viscose from bamboo, sustainably sourced from USDA-certified organic farms. Not only is the proprietary weave temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic, but it’s also stain resistant.
