Mango’s New Line Is Both Environmentally Friendly And Seriously Stylish

by KENG YANG SHUEN  /   October 17, 2017

It’s safe to say that most people are well aware of the urgent need to be more environmentally-friendly these days. The green movement has been steadily and deservedly picking up steam, and even fast-fashion labels are doing their part to contribute.

That can only be a good thing for us and the planet as a whole – but if you can look good while you’re doing so, it can only mean a win-win situation for all, no?

Here’s where Mango’s new line, Mango Committed, comes in – a special women’s and men’s capsule range that prioritises the use of sustainable fabrics. It’s part of the Spanish retailer’s larger “Take Action” program, which aims to refine Mango’s overall business model towards more sustainable routes.

The first Mango Committed collection was launched earlier this year in February and it featured organic and recycled cotton, recycled polyester and Tencel (a fabric derived from wood cellulose that uses less water and land in its production process than cotton). Better yet, the fabrics come with individual international certificates that guarantee their sustainable origin and are even coloured with environmentally-friendly dyes.

Sounds very, very good, yes? The second Mango Committed collection is set to arrive in stores (it’s exclusive to the Ion Orchard and Wisma Astria outlets) and online on October 15. If you loved the first collection, here’s better news: the 65-piece collection, priced between €22.99 € to €149.99 (S$48 to S$240, approximately), sees the number of designs increased by 45% and the range of sustainable fabrics has expanded to included recycled wool and modal.

That’s all well and good but Mango doesn’t drop the ball on the aesthetics either.

Inspired by vintage military attire, the collection nails the feminine-meets-masculine look with stand-out pieces such as a army-green jumpsuit and a saturated colour palette of earth tones such as ochre, chartreuse, and rich greens balanced with slate greys and ecrus. What this means: it’ll be easy to mix and match with your existing wardrobe pieces.

But don’t mistake them for run-of-the-mill pieces – the collection features plenty of distinctive design elements that we’re really digging, such as frayed hems, contrast stitching, buckled straps and aged copped rivets (great attention to detail here, guys). We can well imagine these pieces on street style stars such as Yoyo Cao and Caroline Issa next season.

Here, a guide to the best pieces of the collection:

Polyester and organic cotton belted skirt

We’re digging the vivid ikat print of this skirt – it’ll go well with a simple white tee or if you’re the more-is-more type, pair with the matching military shirt in the same print.

Unusual shades of green are shaping up to be the top colour for Spring 2018 and this chartreuse jumpsuit is no mechanic’s attire with its stylised plackets, ruched waist and assertive silhouette. Who can we see in this? Yoyo Cao comes to mind.

Polyester and organic cotton blazer

The blazer remains the key outerwear piece to buy this season and we’re loving this burnt orange rendition in on-trend corduroy.

Organic cotton and linen top

With the stylist white patch elements, buckled strap and frayed edges, this statement top is perfect made-to-be-papped street style material. Likely to be a hot seller, this piece.

Organic cotton and elastane high-waisted pants

A pair of nicely-cut pants does wonders to elongate your figure and this sharp design looks set to do so. We’d say pair with a white tee and let the focus be on the pants.

Or if you’re really feeling those military vibes, pair with this utility shirt that comes with an unusual tie-front collar (to add a feminine touch).

Wool, organic cotton and elastane jacket

This shearling jacket is a stylish way to combat the cold – perfect for year-end travel plans. Think of it as a contemporary update to Top Gun.

Winter may be coming and darker colours will be par for the course. Say no to that with this sweater in a lovely saffron hue.
