[tps_header]There are some things you just need in your summer wardrobe\u201dthat white tee that goes with everything, those jean shorts that make your butt look perfect\u201dand\u00a0we found some ethical, eco-friendly options\u00a0for every one of those summer essentials. You’re welcome.[\/tps_header]<\/p>\n

White tank<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Essentials_AmourVert\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They say that this white tank from Amour Vert<\/a>\u00a0($38) is the only tank you need to own and we couldn’t agree more, thanks to it’s classic fit and soft feel. We also love that this tank is made from beech tree fibres and that every time you buy a tee, Amour Vert plants a tree!<\/p>\n

Tote bag<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"27953686_020_g\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you’re running between a meeting to a patio or heading to the park for a picnic, a tote is an essential. Finding a good quality tote can be difficult, especially if you don’t want to shell out a lot of money. This Urban Outfitters Reversible Vegan Leather Tote<\/a> ($72) is faux leather, but still high quality and allows you to swap shades so that you get two bags in one.
\n<\/p>\n

Crop top<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Essentials_Groceries\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First, we love that this white crop top from Groceries<\/a>\u00a0($52) is cropped but not too cropped. We also love that it’s made from organic cotton and that Groceries is all about reducing their waste production, decreasing their carbon footprint and paying their workers fair wages.<\/p>\n

Jean shorts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Essentials_UrbanRenewal\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are lots of sustainable brands out there that make jeans but shorts are harder to find. We love these from the\u00a0Urban Renewal<\/a>\u00a0line ($59) at Urban Outfitters, which reclaims vintage denim from flea markets, second hand stores and warehouses around the world and turns the denim into cute, modern shorts.<\/p>\n

Sundress<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sundress\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Reformation\u00a0Issa Dress<\/a> ($218), with its flirty front and sexy back is as summery as it gets. It’s also made in Los Angeles using sustainable materials and production practices that have a fraction of the environmental impact of conventional fashion.<\/p>\n

Sandals<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Essentials_MattNat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Simple, comfortable and sustainable, these Matt & Nat Naumur black sandals<\/a> ($85) are\u00a0made of vegan leather that is produced from recycled nylons, cardboard, rubber, cork and even bicycle tires. Oh, and the brand is from Montreal, so bonus points for supporting Canadian designers!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sunglasses<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Essentials_Mistura\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These sunglasses from Toronto brand\u00a0Mistura<\/a> ($169)\u00a0might be made of sustainable wood from reforested areas around the world but the subtle, retro shape and chic, gold corners are so sophisticated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
