Don’t fret about being pinched if you don’t wear green on Earth Day, but dressing appropriately for the day in which we celebrate Mother Earth is certainly in order. What’s more invigorating than toasting our beloved planet in style? The best way to dress for Earth Day – this coming Thursday – is to take cues from the planet herself, and keep the colors neutral and the materials organic.

Whether you are off to a charity fundraiser or meeting some friends for a BBQ in the park, earth tones are the way to go. Seashell beige and cloud white accented with mineral gold and silver, and a hint of lagoon blue capture the essence of the sea and sky. Organic cotton and bamboo sourced brands The Battalion and Brigid Catiis supply the essentials to build a beautiful outfit, while Cri de Coeur and Matt & Nat provide eye-catching accessories.

Go straight for the Earth Day inspired jacket from Stella McCartney for an easy layer that will keep any outfit stylish during E-Day festivities. Whatever you decide to wear – make your Mother proud and source eco for fashion that is focused on ensuring there are many Earth Days to come.

Warm weather begs for bright colors and statement prints. The tribal trend is going strong and offers exotic intrigue in any setting – this is the trend where print on print thrives! So, take a bold pattern print top like the zebra half topper from Mociun and pair it with an equally attention seeking bottom. Short minis, loud leggings or pleated skirts should do the trick, or opt for a cut-out detail dress from LA based designer Brigid Catiis.

And as you take your layers off for warmer temps keep the accessories piled on! An all organic fedora in teal and a multi-color accented oversized handbag are the perfect accomplices to complete the urban tribal look. Even subtle details like the print on the heeled sandal by Stella McCartney create interest and make any outfit a bit more playful. Don a urban ethnic piece and be prepared to join the tribe!
