Sustainably Made, Seriously Comfortable Clothing 

Sustainably Made, Seriously Comfortable Clothing #loveprAna @prAna #ad

If you were to meet me in real life, you’d more than likely find me wearing one of the following:

  1. a t-shirt and jeans or
  2. a hoodie with stretchy pants.

These two outfits are my spirit animals. They are my comfortable clothing of choice and what I reach for day after day. As a result, I’m always on the hunt for new brands to try.

When prAna clothing company offered to send me an outfit for my Fall adventures, I was beyond ecstatic. I had heard about prAna before because of their sustainability movement but I had never tried any of their clothing.

prAna has a “all in, in all” philosophy when it comes to clothing:

  • They seek out (and use) materials from sustainable sources (e.g., organic cotton, hemp, recycled wool, etc.,).
  • They make sure their workers are treated fairly (they are a member of the Fair Labor Association).
  • The processes they use improve their industry (they use recycled paper tags, wrap their clothes with raffia instead of plastic, avoid using harsh chemicals, etc.,).

The pants that I chose, the Annexi pant, contain 53% hemp, 44% recycled polyester, and 3% spandex. While it’s illegal to grow hemp in the US, prAna sources their hemp from a sustainable provider overseas. Because it’s naturally hearty, hemp doesn’t require any fertilizers or pesticides. This makes me happy because I’m not a fan of pesticides on my clothing. I’ve been known to break out in hives because of what other manufacturers have sprayed on their clothing.

I have to admit, the Annexi pants are one of the most comfortable pair of pants I’ve worn in quite a while. Actually, they’re more comfortable than my trusty yoga pants! And the waistband? It’s a winner. It is seriously amazing for slimming down that extra in the middle, if you know what I mean.

When this photo was taken, it was 44 degrees out so I paired Anexxi with my favorite comfy brown boots and handbag.  The hoodie I’m wearing is the Devan henley. This cozy jersey is made from 52% organic cotton and 48% polyester. A reviewer on the prAna website noted that it ran large but I found it to be true to size.

The hood and drawcord came in handy when the temperature dropped to 22 degrees later that night. Between a lightweight jacket and the Devan henley, I stayed toasty and warm. And very comfortable.

prAna rocks. And their clothes don’t make me look like a grandma. Even though I am one. And a mom to a twenty-four-year-old daughter. No mom jeans for me. 😉

What’s your favorite go-to outfit? Have you ever worn prAna before?
