The Best Sustainable T-Shirts on Your Skin

Why you should care

Adorn your soft, beautiful skin with fabric made from eucalyptus and hemp rather than fabric dyed with chemicals, like formaldehyde… yeah the stuff they use for embalming.

Name a more iconic duo than jeans and a t-shirt, we’ll wait. Okay, fine, maybe chips and salsa, but in the world of fashion, it truly does not get better than a comfy pair of denim jeans and a loose, soft tee. There’s a ton of ways to be more conscious about your denim choices, but for now, let’s talk about tees, shall we? 

Whether you’re wearing it to bed, dressed up with a blazer or thrown on with a pair of shorts, there’s never a bad time for a tee. When you’re looking for a sustainable option, organic cotton is going to be your new wardrobe staple for your tee selection. Here are some of our favorite picks for where to stock up on sustainable t-shirts.
