Typical white shirts are often made with conventional cotton, which is an extremely thirsty crop requiring heavy use of pesticides. Alternatively, nicer shirts maybe made with silk, which requires chemical dry-cleaning, and ones from fast fashion are often made with polyester, which is a nonbiodegradable microplastic fiber.

For a more conscious choice, complete your wardrobe with an effortlessly elegant and versatile eco-friendly white shirt or blouse form one of these brands that you can dress up or down depending on where you're headed.

They are either made of a groundbreaking, new type of silk that is nontoxic and machine-washable, eco-friendly linen, organic cotton, or Tencel.
