Rogan Gregory’s Favorite Ecofriendly Fashion and Beauty Items

If you live on this planet, you’ve by now been swamped with so many organic products your head must be swimming. From bags to lipsticks to clothes — where can a novice green shopper turn? Well, we hit up an ecofriendly expert, designer Rogan Gregory, to help guest-edit our latest Shop-A-Matic. Together we found 93 products that are certified environmentally friendly, not to mention totally chic. We’ve rounded them up, from clothes to accessories to furniture and beauty products. So go ahead, be green. Here are a few of our favorite picks.

Recycled-Wool High-Waisted Skirt by H&M
