We do hope ydt’s Friday Food & Fashion posts have dispelled the stereotype that eco-fashion equals hemp ponchos and socks with sandals. But if you need further convincing, may we enter into evidence the online store, Greenloop. Greenloop features the chicest women’s and men’s eco-labels, such as Loomstate, Stewart + Brown, EcoSkin, Lara Miller and Habitude. You won’t find hemp ponchos here, but rather a great selection of fashionable apparel and accessories for any occasion.

Greenloop founder Aysia Wright, a former estate attorney, decided she wanted to use fashion as a vehicle for environmental change. Sounds ambitious, but Greenloop is making that goal accessible by allowing consumers to make a difference in the subtle act of buying a t-shirt.

All of the socially and environmentally responsible labels carried by Greenloop employ sustainable practices such as using recycled materials, buying carbon offsets, and locally sourcing materials. Goods are also fair trade and sweatshop-free. In addition, Greenloop closes the proverbial loop by giving back at least 1% of sales to environmental causes.

But really, the best part is that if you’re looking for an elegant but stylish graduation dress or hip and laidback clothes for Dad, you can find it at Greenloop.

Standouts include jersey Sublet gowns, reusable skull print grocery bags, and screenprinted Fuze Organic sweatshirts. The slick website and stylish selection will certainly throw that crunchy granola stereotype for a loop. Case closed.
