1. EA Apparel
Kudos to spa pro turned fashionista, Liz Ratcliff, whose new line, ea apparel (meant to be worn “everywhere anywhere”) is turning heads. A mere seven pieces, we are partial to these two for their simplicity: Katie, the racer-back tank top with a loose A-line fit that flatters all figures, and the low-waist Betty leggings that you won’t ever want to take off. Both in a bamboo-spandex blend. Katie top, $65; Betty leggings, $85, www.eaapparel.co.uk
2. Roots Cardigan
Layer away with the Mariella cardigan that looks just as great over leggings as it does over a dress. The cashmere and cotton blend will keep you cozy all season long. We prefer it in purple. $88, usa.roots.com
3. Hot Pink Half-ToeSox
We love these 100 percent organic cotton socks not only for their durability and bold color, but because proceeds go to animal shelters and welfare organizations through a collaboration with Kathryn Budig and Poses for Paws. $15, toesox.com
4. YogaFit Karma Bracelets
YogaFit introduces a truly unique, yet simple charm bracelet unlike any of its kind. Choose from 10 stones, signifying your personal goals from Purification to Strength to Balance, releasing any old, negative karma. Portions of proceeds go to the Khushi Charitable Society in India, providing after-school opportunities to impoverished children. $21.95, yogafit.com
5. Athleta Shirred Organic Cotton Cami Outfit
It’s all about the stretch and this combo has it with a fine blend of organic cotton and spandex. Designed for studio wear, the cami’s built-in-bra and shirred top paired with the flattering capris, makes for super cute street wear, too! Shirred Organic Cotton Cami, $34; Organic Cotton Chela Capri, $59, athleta.gap.com
6. ALO Hooded Tunic Top
We like the allure of this hooded tunic from ALO (an acronym for air, land, ocean), just one of many fashion-forward performance-wear pieces made from recycled and minimal-impact materials. Top, $48, Bottom, $50, aloyoga.com
7. Be Present Pants
The Lotus Mobility Pant, shown here in cobalt, is one of this company’s best-sellers for a reason. They’re lightweight, extremely comfortable, and “you can contort yourself into any position imaginable without feeling like you’re going to split a seam,” says one of our happy testers. $79, bepresent.com
8. Zobha
This Cowl Neck Hoodie in navy blue strikes just the right note for us. It’s 95 percent Tencel, a biodegradable fabric made from wool pulp cellulose, and 5 percent spandex. Top, $90; zobha.com
