Elana Carello’s Sketch Cardigan, made in USA of imported material, $150

A change in season is a great excuse to change up your wardrobe. With cooler weather approaching, you’ll want to make room in your closet for these versatile pieces. They’re easy to wear and stylish. Best of all, read the label. Designed, constructed, and stitched with careful attention to detail, our picks are all proudly made to last in the USA!

Houndstooth Pullover from Elana Carello Sweaters

Houndstooth Pullover, made in USA of imported material, $120

Bold, witty graphic designs are a signature of Elana Carello Sweaters, which is headquartered in Cranston, RI (the designer’s hometown!). We love the striking pattern and waterfall collar of Elana’s off-white/black Sketch Cardigan (top). Made of fine-gauge 100% cotton, the cardigan goes with almost everything and makes a great lightweight jacket. Is it possible to be on-trend and timeless? We think so. Check out the Houndstooth Pullover, which comes in 100% cotton off-white/back houndstooth and red/black houndstooth (shown). Makes you wish the temp would drop now!

Over Arm Sweater Shrug from Green 3

Over Arm Shrug, made in USA, $80

Perfect for those early fall days when a little cover-up is all you need. Then keep it on hand for layering into the winter months. Made in either Wisconsin or New York, this one-size adorable Over Arm Shrug comes in five colors (lilac, shown). Like all other Green 3 garments, the shrug is made with 100% eco-conscious, U.S.-sourced materials (in this case, pre-consumer recycled cotton and acrylic). Even the dye is gentle on the Earth!

Snap-Front Western Shirt from Life After Death Denim

Denim Western Shirt, made in USA of U.S. and imported material, $165

Why limit denim wear to just jeans when you can look so cool in a shirt like this? Mary Bruno, founder of Life After Death Denim in Vernon, CA, is committed to making premium denim using the most environmentally friendly methods, from start to finish (including the packaging!). Her Denim Western Shirt is handmade from a blend of hemp and organic yarns. Unlike most other denim, this denim is processed and washed without chemicals or stones, using less water. Because the snap buttons are made from recycled scrap metal, they even come in a mix of colors and graphics.

Charcoal Gray Jacket from Erin Draper

Charcoal Gray Jacket, made in USA of imported material, $279

If you’re going to buy only one new piece this season, take a look at Erin Draper’s Charcoal Gray Jacket. Handmade in Baltimore, MD, this sophisticated yet fun jacket will flatter your silhouette. The ponte knit fabric (a combination of rayon, polyester, and spandex) gives it a soft, comfortable feel with stretch. It’s fitting that Erin’s motto is “as comfortable as yoga wear.” That’s because her line of handmade clothes feel comfy enough to work out in, but also look polished enough to wear to work.

As we head into a new season…happy fall, happy shopping!
