Sustainable Fashion by prAna

I love sustainable fashion when it manages to be on trend, colorful and suitable for more than just hiking in the woods. I also love sustainable fashion because it’s great quality, materials that will last for a long time, and it supports fashion industry workers in a positive way.

So when I find a brand like prAna, that manages to ‘get it,’ with clothing choices that fit my lifestyle, I smile and do a little inner happy dance. Especially when prAna offers so many varied clothing styles and options, and can be found in stores, as well as ordering online.

I’ve been looking at prAna clothes in some outdoor gear stores that I’ve been visiting lately. So when Mom’s Meet selected me to try an outfit from prAna for review, I was ecstatic. Especially given my frustration with trying to find affordable sustainable fashion.

You could get a chance to wear this outfit, too! Read on for a discount code & your opportunity to win prAna sustainable fashion clothing!

When my pair of Kara Jeans came in the mail, I instantly knew that these were going to be winners. They are lightweight and soft, with great stitching and design. Made of 75% organic cotton, the slim-fit, tapered jeans are polished enough to wear out to dinner, yet stretchy and comfy enough to wear while out doing errands, hiking, or running after the kiddos in a stylish way.

I used the online sizing guide from prAna to pick a size, since I have never worn any of their clothes. I was somewhere between a 6 and 8. I chose the 8 because I am always thinking ahead about possible shrinkage, since I don’t have the desire to air dry my clothes. I’m glad I went with the size 8. They fit great, with just enough give. If I had chosen the 6, I think they still would have been a great fit, just a little more fitted.

The riveted, five pocket jeans do come in a variety of colors and patterns. Keep in mind that they are meant to roll up for most people, especially if you are short like me (5′ 3″). I rolled my Kara Jeans up three times on the leg, since there is only one leg length offered.

I chose a Sutra Shirt to pair with my Kara Jeans, and was not disappointed in the quality at all. As soon as I untied the perfectly wrapped shirt with a raffia bow, I was amazed at the details and great quality of the Sutra Shirt. This top is made of 53% hemp, and I love the texture and feel of the fabric. (FYI – It air dries fast, too. I managed to get toothpaste on myself just before taking these photos, so after wiping down the shirt with a wet towel, it instantly dried in time for me to take photos!)

The Sutra Shirt came about after prAna fans raved about the Sutra pant, which is much loved. There’s just something about this easy, breezy blend of hemp and recycled polyester, with just a little bit of stretch, that creates a polished, yet comfy piece of clothing. The buttoned down shirt can be dressed up or dressed down, something that I love on all of my travels, where I take one piece of clothing and wear it in several ways. The Light Red Violet color is just the right pop of color for my wardrobe.

I ordered the size Small, based on the prAna sizing guide. I probably could have been happy with a size XS, too, if I wanted it a bit more fitted.

I love the easy, breezy fashion choices from prAna and I hope to be sporting more of their clothes, soon.

Because I can’t keep a straight face for very long!
