5 Festival-Ready Outfits That Are Cute And Sustainable

Festival season is upon us—do you know what you're wearing?

With Coachella's first weekend just around the corner, it's time to start planning out the looks you'll be sporting to all the festivities coming our way this year. But rather than stocking up on the festival-themed collections pumped out by fast fashion retailers, we're calling on music enthusiasts and street style darlings alike to support the brands putting in the work to take care of our planet.

That's why we came up with five festival-ready looks you can feel good about, from head-to-toe. From dresses made of deadstock fabric to sunglasses created with plant-based acetate and jewelry that gives global artisans a safe and fair work environment, these pieces are protecting not only the planet but also the people and animals that inhabit it. Bonus? It's all really cute stuff.
