In the year’s transition seasons, it’s essential to have pieces that can go in whatever direction the weather does. If you’re building a sustainable capsule wardrobe, the key is to fill it with pieces that can mix and match together in practical and stylish ways. Here are styling tips for 8 different sustainable and ethically made tops and bottoms that you can mix and match on warm and cool days throughout the fall!
The Nolita Tee
We’ll start with the Nolita Tee - a comfortable fitted top with a femme touch. The slightly puffed short sleeves make it so much more than a simple tee.
Nolita Tee + Val Mini Skirt
Val Mini Skirt, Dots + Dashes Yellow
For a semi-casual look full of fun details, pair it with the Val Mini Skirt! The skirt has handmade block print designs and embroidery and, of course, the top has the sleeves we love. Tuck in the top with this skirt and wear it to work and for happy hour right after. Warm day: pair with The Serena heeled sandals. Cool day: wear with tights, The Condesa Boots, and the Wisteria Sweater.
Nolita Tee + Scarlet Mid Rise Slim
