In the world of ethically made sneakers with sleek city style, the choice is still limited. We love Veja but they’re still difficult to come by outside Europe. Luckily, a new player has now entered the scene: based in Canada, Oliberté has launched a line of men and women shoes with an urban-casual inspired look and sold online (www.oliberte.com and www.greenisblack.ca) and in select stores this Fall in Canada and the United States.

As more and more designers embrace ethical fashion, workout enthusiasts—those who want their clothing to be as healthy as their bodies—are at the forefront of this revolution. Since sports and exercise gurus aim to treat their bodies as temples, it’s no surprise that those designing workout fashion take the production of materials and their impact on the earth very seriously. While organic workout wear is nothing new to eco fashion, there are some brands that lead the pack when it comes to innovation, technologies and presentation.

Trekking through the long winter days means snow, ice, and sleet in many places around the globe. Wearing the right boots can make the difference between a fantastic day and an extremely uncomfortable day.

Giant dark clouds move in and slowly cover the sky. The pre-rain gusts of wind are swaying everything in sight. Before you know it, the skies have opened up and buckets of rain are pouring down from the clouds.

As much as an intense rainfall is refreshing and cleansing, you have to protect yourself from wet weather conditions. Be weather-ready from head to toe in fashionable eco rain gear!
