Do Sweater Weather Sustainably with These 22 Styles From Banana Republic

I'll be honest, I sometimes find myself struggling between my ideals and wardrobe budget. There's the sustainable, green closet I want, and then there's the lure of grabbing that trendy piece of the season for a great price and maybe not knowing the behind-the-scenes of how they're made. As I try to lead a more ethical life, including my wardrobe, it helps when some of my favorite brands aid me in these efforts, whether it's manufacturing transparency, clothes recycling programs, special conscious collections, and more. It also helps when it's affordable! Maybe my purchase won't revolutionize green fashion efforts, but collectively we can normalize it with our buying power, and that counts for something.

Banana Republic is having a major sale - up to 75 percent off site-wide! A lot of these styles are produced with sustainability in mind, making "better clothes for a better planet" the brand states. There are cozy knits made of recycled wool and cashmere, certified with the Responsible Wool Standard that protects the sheep that supply the wool as well as the land they graze, and stylish coats made of 20 plastic bottles. There's also jeans that use innovative washing and dyeing techniques that are better for the environment and produced in factories with programming that educates and empower women in the communities where the products are made. Here are a few of my selects from Banana Republic's sustainable line.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
