Menswear Doing the Most with the Least — Carbon, That Is
Every year, on April 22, people all around the globe celebrate Earth Day. Since 1970, it has served as an annual, dedicated reminder for us to take care of a home we've long taken for granted.
And now look, this is not about to unfurl as some high-horse speech on sustainability in fashion or the hypocrisies of it. Rather, this is to offer a hand-picked overview of styles, trends, and pieces that abide as much by the trials of vanity as they do by MR PORTER-approved standards of eco-friendly production.
Because while we may not stop shopping as such, we very well can change what it is we're shopping for.
An Earth Day Edit of (Carbon) Neutrals
Entering warmer weather, we're eyeballing items to both enjoy during the spring and summer seasons, and that meet ethically and environmentally conscious metrics.
This time of year's all about trusty staples, easily compatible with more eccentric add-ons, for up- and down-dressing, day to evening, work or vacay.

Stone Island Tee
On the top half, find earth tones, eclectic detailing, and casual classics that slot into just about any occasion's constellation of goods.
Story mfg. Camp Collar Shirt
Whether leaning into preppy office looks, versatile athleisure, or bits-of-boho, these shirts are simple but not boring, contemporary but not faddy.
Mr P Linen Overshirt
The fabrics are breathable and lightweight, but pack the kind of punch that'll keep them in shape for many springs and summers to come.

Frame Trousers
Moving away from the super baggy, and embracing more interestingly tailored shorts...
Vilebrequin Cropped Cargos
... the season's slacks are allowing for a welcome diversity in wearable, even multi-purpose silhouettes.
Orlebar Brown Swim Shorts

Veja Sneakers
The shoes are the base of everything, of course, and therefore ought to either kick off or round out one's outfit. No better way to do so than with beaming-white sneakers, or a to-die-for pair of penny loafers.
Mr P Suede Loafers
And best of all, both will look even better when lived-in — as does most stuff. After all, the best gift to give Earth is to cherish whatever you have or get for as long as possible.
