Wool is often used by brands for its sustainable properties. Indeed, this material is natural and therefore biodegradable, in addition to being thermal insulating and resistant. This makes it a precious ally for imagining cozy clothes that last over time.
Committed brands have developed many methods to make wool even more responsible, from strategic grazing to caring for the animals’ well-being. Here are five minimalist designs made of this noble material to spend the winter with style and comfort.
Soplo Organic Merino Wool Sweater by MAYDI
MAYDI creates elegant and casual designs, made-to-order for a low impact production. The wool of this large cut sweater is 100% organic and was hand-spun in Patagonia.
This piece is naturally dyed and takes about six weeks to be hand-made by Argentinian artisans. This is the perfect design for a laid back yet smart outfit, honouring local craftsmanship and the environment.
Claire Pants by Stella McCartney
The famous designer and activist imagined the perfect work-from-home pants. Their dark grey shade, adjusted cut and 100% wool composition is a guarantee of feeling professional and cozy during Zoom reunions. Just another proof, if needed, of Stella McCartney’s timeless approach to design.
This oversized design was made in America by Mara Hoffman. The conscious luxury label’s wool is Climate Beneficial certified, meaning that the sheep graze strategically across farm landscapes to allow the land to regenerate. The soils, therefore, trap more carbon from the atmosphere and become more resilient to droughts.
Bahamas Blazer by Envelope 1976
Norwegian label Envelope 1976 manages to create strong looks with minimal designs and sophisticated colours. This sober jacket is a non-exception. It is made out of ethically sourced Italian wool and was naturally dyed in this beautiful deep shade of green.
Made of stretch wool fabric, these boots by the sustainable brand are as stylish as they are warm. Their simple shape and light colour ensure easy styling. With a low heel and a very soft fabric, they are a mix of comfort and casual chic.
