To celebrate Earth Day, do yourself a favor and throw on some of the sharpest, most sensible apparel out there that recycles, reuses, and sustains in order to keep you looking your best while doing something good for the planet.
O'Neill Men Hyperfreak Oblique 2.0
For the Hyperfreak Oblique, O'Neill made these swim shorts with a quick-dry, water-resistant material manufactured by Bionic Yarn from plastic collected from the oceans. $90; au.oneill.com
G-Star Raw Denim Occotis 3301 Slim Jeans
Raw denim is heralded for its ability to last years — double-digit years, that is. Makers forgo the washing and detailing at the end of the manufacturing process, saving a lot of water and chemicals washed. That means your pair is 100 percent yours to fade, crease, and tear as you please. G-Star's five-pocket workman's relaxed fit pair of jeans is created from recycled ocean plastic. $200; g-star.com
Bamboxers
These crazy-soft boxer briefs are made from 100 percent spun bamboo — which uses less water, grows faster, and has less of an environmental impact than cotton because it is grown without pesticides or chemicals. $19;bamboxers.com
Adidas + Parley Boost
Adidas is upping the shoe game when it comes to sustainability. This spring, the company will release a 3D-printed Boost shoe made completely of recycled fishing nets and other plastic waste. To add to that, Adidas recently announced that it will no longer use plastic bags in its stores. Price TBD; adidas.com
