Mother’s Day Gift Guide: The Best Eco-Friendly And Sustainable Loungewear For Travelers

No matter how many frequent milers the mom in your life has racked up, there’s no way around it: travel will still take a toll on her body. And the last thing she needs to feel—especially when she’s already facing long-haul transits, delays, and cancellations—is physically uncomfortable. That’s why packing clothing and accessories that are effortless and easy to wear is a must.

But why not go a step further on Mother’s Day, and consider giving something that’s kind to the planet as well with these 10 eco-friendly and sustainable picks?

And the two necklines—there’s a v-neck and high round—means you can style it up in ways more than one.

Allbirds Women’s Risers, $135

While there’s no shortage of white sneakers on the market, too many women opt for the same brands and styles over and over again. So to look anything but basic, turn to these eye-catching sneakers by Allbirds.
