Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - Eco-friendly, socially conscious wardrobe duplicates for winter staples.

Ever since I started a quest to make my closet “feel good”, I’ve been much more conscious of my shopping habits. One of the ways I’ve been more conscious is to look for a feel good alternative when I fall in love with something I know may not feel good to buy. Here are a few of my favorite winter items, as well as their feel good alternative to consider.

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - Madewell Rivington Sweater Coat / Cuyana Reversible Knitted Coat

While both are made from whole materials, Cuyana’s is reversible and made by artisans paid a living wage in Peru.

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - RRD Padded Long-Line Coat / Carve Designs Davos Jacket

If you like the RRD Padded Long-Line Coat, try the Carve Designs Davos Jacket.
The filling is traceable, featuring cruelty-free 90/10 recycled goose down. Carve sent it to me to try out this winter, so I can also vet that it is warm and snuggly. Sizing is true to size (I wear a small) and I have no problem wearing a sweater under it.

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - J.Crew 2011 Foundry Pant / Everlane Wide Leg Crop Pant

If you like the J.Crew 2011 Foundry Pant, try the Everlane Wide Leg Crop Pant.
While they are both made from cotton, Everlane has a more transparent supply chain.

The Everlane pants are made from 100% wrinkle-resistant wool.

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - Madewell 10" high-rise skinny jeans / Everlane High-Rise Skinny Jean

If you like the Madewell 10″ high-rise skinny jeans, try the Everlane High-Rise Skinny Jean.
They have a higher cotton content with just enough stretch to make you feel comfortably “pulled-in”.

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - Gucci Princetown Loafer Mule / Everlane Modern Tassel Loafer Mule

If you like the Gucci Princetown Loafer Mule, try Everlane Modern Tassel Loafer Mule.
Or if the tassels aren’t your thing, the modern penny loafer mule is beautiful as well.

Feel Good Winter Wardrobe Swaps - Acne Jensen Pointy Toe Bootie / Everlane Boss Boot

If you like the Acne Jensen Pointy Toe Bootie, try the Everlane Boss Boot.
While Acne seems to have a transparent supply chain, it’s difficult to follow on their website. Plus I can recommend the Everlane Boss Boots with 2 thumbs up, I own them!

beauty full suggestions, something new for me,

beauty full suggestions, thank you.

very good collection, beauty full suggestions, thank you.

These are beautiful wardrobe suggestions. I love every one of them.

Oh I love all of these. So luxe looking.

Those are some really cute similar choices. When I see an outfit I like, I try to find similar in the least amount possible. I’m on a serious budget.

I am all about feel good over fashionable although sometimes I have been lucky enough to find a combo. I love being comfy while looking good, it’s the best.

Living in FL, we don’t really need a winter wardrobe but I love the options you’ve put together. They are perfect!

Those are all great choices! A lot of times, I see wardrobe suggestions and they are all impractical for my lifestyle. But these are all so cozy and comfy! I live in Upstate NY and the winters here are long and cold, so I’m all for warm!

These are great choices! basic, comfortable and chic style. casual yet classy.

This is awesome – I was just looking to replace my winter coat and I love that Carve Designs look.

I am in love with your choices! The black sweater with the crossed back is my absolute favorite! Great cozy winter clothes!

More of this please! Love it!

These are gorgeous winter outfits. I love those black booties. I recently ordered similar booties and am in love with them. I wear them several times per week.

So many stylish swap ideas! I am a sucker for oversized sweaters and long knitted coats during the winter.

This is awesome! I love when you can recreate fashion outfits at a cheaper price! These are some great products!

These looks are so awesome! I’ve been meaning to breathe some new life into my winter wardrobe. Thanks!
