Collective for Good

There’s a chill in the air! As cooler weather finally finds us (was it a super mild Fall for you, too?!), it’s time to pull out that bin of coats and gloves and do an cold weather essentials inventory.

What’s the famous saying– “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing?” Not a problem with a list like this! From sustainably sourced outerwear to responsibly crafted accessories, these are the must-have cold weather pieces.

Coats

Long Puffer in Urban Green– Designed intentionally to be very warm, you won’t believe how much attention went into the function and design! There are a variety of price points on this website, so I encourage you to check out other products, too! Ethically made from recycled materials in Vietnam

Daily Parka in Fossil– This sustainable winter jacket uses the most eco-friendly tech out there, from hidden glove pockets to cuffs that keep the cold out. Ethically made from recycled materials in Vietnam

Down Parka in Black– This knee-length parka has a 100% recycled polyester shell; removable, insulated hood; and 600-fill-power 100% Recycled Down (duck and goose down reclaimed from down products) insulation. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory

Layering Pieces

Thermal Waffle Base Layer– Ethically made of organic cotton, the thermal waffle fabric is made for lazy Sundays but could also serve as a thinner layering piece on cold days! Complete the set with both the joggers and henley top. Organic cotton consumes very little water compared to conventional cotton as they don’t use harmful inorganic pesticides and fertilizers.

Sweatshirt & Sweatpants Set– Whether you’re in cold weather or just like to be cozy at home, this set hits the mark. You can wear it as a set or mix/match the sweatshirt and sweatpants. Ethically made in a fair-trade factory in India

Accessories

Beanie-This alpaca beanie combines functionality, quality, and deep consideration for both the planet and the people involved with making it. Ethically made in Peru

Wool Beanie in Black– Made of 100% wool that was sourced from farms that ensure their animals’ welfare and preserve the health of their land, this beanie has over 300 five star reviews!

Scarf– Stay warm while protecting our planet in this responsibly sourced wool scarf. This wool was sourced from farms that ensure their animals’ welfare and preserve the health of their land.

Sweater Fleece Gloves– Warm and cozy mittens that convert to fingerless gloves designed for multipurpose sport or casual activities? Yes please! Made of sweater-knit recycled polyester fleece and made in Vietnam

Whether you already have a closet of cold weather essentials or find yourself needing to add one or two pieces, you can bookmark this for future reference! Please share with me on Instagram if you end up adding to your collection!

Xoxo,

Kimberly
