Black and white is always the heart of classic trends. Even Ms. Coco Chanel herself knew it! Keeping our style simple prevents closet clutter and the dreadful question of “What will I wear?!” Then we are more free to ask more grounded questions like, “What will I read next?” This week’s On Trend is a round up filled with sophistication and style from our favorite responsible brands in classic black and white.
1. Sequoia Dress by Reformation
Fun, sexy, and sustainable style is what you always get with any Reformation garment. Made with 100% viscose, a fiber produced through a closed-loop process and with little water, and produced in Los Angeles, this dress is professional and still fresh and playful.

2. Chaye Clutch by Freedom of Animals
Freedom of Animals is brand on the rise, and this vegan handbag makes you look read twice (yes, I said vegan). It’s made with 100% EPA-certified sustainable materials, including faux leather produced from recycled materials. Not only is the textile innovative and eco-friendly, the faux leather is then vegetable dyed, so no toxic chrome-tanning here. Lastly, the inside of the clutch is lined with organic cotton. I know, incredible. Go ahead and take another look–we certainly did.
Freedom of Animals, $300
3. Mini Shark Earrings by Brandy Pham
Named after their resemblance to shark teeth and a nod to designer Brandy Pham’s father who used to be a fisherman, these studs are modernly feminine and elegant. Handmade with love in New York City.
