Eco-friendly Apparel: prAna Is A Beautiful Path To Greener Living

Being mindful of the fashion choices we make is one of the first steps to a path of greener living. Purchasing eco-friendly clothing and creating a wardrobe of classic and sustainable essentials, simplifies our lives and benefits the environment. Fashion is not about the latest trendy top that falls apart after a few washings, but the quality clothing you will have for many, many years and, hopefully, pass down to your children.

I've recently tried two fresh pieces from prAna. More than an online boutique for yoga clothing, prAna is a way of life that is synonymous with sustainable and ethical fashion. Their mission is to inspire healthy, active, and free-spirited living by producing garments that are made with love, and health minded and eco-minded materials. Naturally grown, naturally versatile organic cotton and hemp grown in China are just a few of the sustainable sources prAna uses. 

I'm obsessed with prAna's ultra versatile Amelie dress and feel every woman needs this simple black dress! The eco-friendly blend is super soft, comfy, and figure flattering. It can be dressed up or down and takes me from a day at the beach to dinner and a movie in the evening.  It is thick enough that it isn't see-through, but light enough to be a traveler's dream. I like the bra-friendly tank straps, too. Create your own style by adding accessories, putting on your favorite pair of shoes, and you're off in style.

Are your clothes a reflection of you and what you value most? prAna feels when you reach into your closet, there should be something there that reflects who you are, how you feel and what you value most.  I had been eyeing prAna's online site for quite awhile now, admiring their clothing and their commitment to providing their customers sustainable apparel. It has always been prAna's mission to provide an earth-friendly label by using organic cotton, natural fibers, and recycled materials to create their clothing line.

Since 1992, when prAna first began, it limiting the size of its footprint by making labels from homemade paper and shipping their apparel in fruit boxes they gathered from a local grocery store. Fast forward to today, and prAna still has the same values with a clear focus on the environment.    

Today I am featuring a jacket from prAna that has far surpassed my expectations! For starters, I am loving the super soft comfiness and warmth of the jacket's sherpa lining. Seriously soft, ladies! The diamond quilted fabric and attention to detail are impeccable!  The jacket is lightweight and perfectly weighted for autumn, spring, and mild winter days. I ordered my Diva Long Jacket in a size extra small, which fits perfectly! The arm length is about an inch longer than my arm, and when cuffed, creates a cute sherpa trim. I like a little extra length in the arms as it allows for some play and unrestricted movement. For sizing purposes, I am typically a size petite 4.
