Celebrating Earth Day With A Righteous Roundup Of Forward-Thinking Fashion

If you think a tee is just a tee, think again. Fashion is as much about politics as Al Gore is about polar bears. With today's honoring of Earth Day, we're reminded of why it feels so good to do good, and that means wearing eco-friendly whenever we can. Fair trade practices that prevent unfair working conditions also allow for the ultimate freedom when crafting a collection. From that which is post-consumer to that which is just plain pretty, these spring and summer earth-friendly essentials redefine what it means to be style conscious.
