Too often people think that buying eco-friendly clothing means forsaking fashion and outfitting themselves in Birkenstocks and tie-dye (although it’s worth nothing that tie dye was a big trend for summer). The reality is that whatever your fashion preference—subtle, sophisticated, one-of-a-kind, etc.—there’s probably a line producing just your style of clothing in earth-friendly fabrics.

For this fall’s fashions, try the Jessica Sweater from Rebe (pictured above). It’s right-on-trend with a hint of 1960s Mad Men styling in the structured collar and an of-the-moment slightly oversized shape. It’s definitely a far cry from the crocheted ponchos that some people picture for women gone green. In fact, we’re willing to bet that no one’s going to notice the eco-friendliness of this sweater, which is almost too bad since it’s a perfect example of eco-friendly clothing. Instead of being made with new pesticide-heavy cotton or even bamboo (which can be a tricky textile to process), the Jessica Sweater is made entirely from recycled cotton, acrylic and other fibers, which means that you’re using already available resources for your brand new sweater.

In honor of the recently-ended fall fashion week in New York, we’ve assembled five of our favorite environmentally-conscious dresses for autumn.

1. JUMA BUBBLE DRESS
The Juma Bubble Dress follows a classic fashion rule: If you’re going to show a lot of leg, best keep your upper half under wraps. The bubble bottom keeps things interesting and the tie front prevents that “sack” look that only works on runway models (pair it with dark tights and an eye-catching scarf or earrings to add to your look). As a company, JUMA is helping to create a more eco-focused Canadian fashion industry and use organic cotton and bamboo fabrics. Click here to read more
