Guide To Buying Eco Shoes For Men

The Top Five Eco- Jackets for Spring
Spring is such a tease. Warmer weather is on the way, but it’s not quite time to put the whole winter wardrobe into storage just yet. Thankfully, the one thing that can go is that heavy bulky winter coat; time to replace it with something that doesn’t make you break into sweat every time you walk more than ten yards!
This spring sees the coming of age of the boyfriend blazer. Oversized or straight fitted, these classy little numbers will last you all the way into summer. Wear them wrapped up tight with a belt to keep the wind out, or roll up the sleeves and let it hang loose and easy when the sun decides to show its face.
All of these jackets are sustainably sourced and reasonably priced, so they won’t put your conscience or your purse out of joint! Read more »

Celebrating Style at the Winter Olympics
With the close of the Winter Olympics yesterday, I wanted to draw your attention to one of the coolest style stories that I learned about during the Games.
Roots is a clothing company that’s based firmly in Canada. It’s not an official sponsor of the games this year, although it has been in the past. There’s been a bit of controversy over the fact that the company has promoted patriotic athletic wear over the last few months, apparently in an attempt to conduct ambush marketing, but that’s all by-the-by in this story.
The Power of the Eco-T-Shirt
One of the best things about buying t shirts is how fun it is. Here are a few of our favourite eco-tees on the site. Clockwise we have: California Rising’s Mind Over Matter, Topo Ranch’s W’s Spray and Saddle Up tees, Andira’s Rainforest Tee and PartyBot’s Little Timmy Tee.
T-shirts haven’t always been the pinnacle of fashion that they are today. They were first made ‘cool’ back in the 1950′s when actors such as Marlon Brando and James Dean started wearing them as regular clothes, a layer or two above their traditional position as underwear. Suddenly, they became a symbol of sex, irreverence and rebellion. Ever since, tees have been a popular means of conveying a personal message, whether political, humorous or downright cool.

Why The Best Pajamas Are Eco-Friendly
First Up, The Lowdown:
The word ‘pajama’ (or ‘pyjama’) was imported from the Hindustani language and comes from the word Payjama, which literally translates as ‘leg garment’. Pajamas first became popular in the West during the British colonial era in the 19th Century. Although men started wearing pajamas as nightwear, it wasn’t long before more elegant examples- made from silk and richly coloured cotton, were worn as general loungewear.
It took until about 1920 for the trend to catch on with women. Coco Chanel’s lounging pajamas transformed popular opinion and the fashion took off in a big way. These days, pajamas are used to describe just about anything from full length jacket and trouser nightwear through to clothes for relaxing. Read more »
