Beautiful colors, intricate patterns and natural elements make up the Native American inspired look that is dominating the fashion world. From feather accessories to sweaters reminiscent of Navajo blankets, it’s a style that proves that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We have found some eco friendly clothing and accessories that embody the look. One word of caution: incorporate only one or two at a time, lest you be mistaken as someone channeling Pocahontas.

 

 

 

 

Navajo Hoodie Made By…Nelida

Just looking at this snuggly sweater makes us long for a roaring fire and a cup of cocoa. The longer length, cozy hood and kangaroo pocket just scream “snuggly.” We like the way the Navajo print in a subdued shade is used as an accent and, it warms our hearts to know it is made using sustainable materials and fair trade practices. $214 at www.shopfuturestandard.com.

Shift Dress By Pendleton Portland Collection

Nearly every item in Pendleton’s new Portland fall collection incorporates the tribal trend, so it was hard to narrow it down to just one item. We selected this wool dress because of the classic shape, juxtaposed with the tribal pattern. We are also a fan of anything so versatile that you can wear it all season long by adding tights, boots, or a cardigan. Destined to become a classic. $228 at www.shopolivine.com.
