prAna – Versatile Travel Clothes With A Conscience

**Full Disclosure: I received a couple of clothing pieces from prAna for review purposes. No other compensation was received. All opinions are my own.

I have always been a huge fan of shoes. Clothes, not so much, mostly because I don’t care for how they fit my body shape (especially when it was larger than my current size). But after spending way too much time browsing their website, I ordered two different prAna pieces to make a flexible outfit. Now that I’ve worn them for a bit, I’m ready to order so much more because they are simply amazing.

My First prAna Pieces:

prAna Yvonna Tee –

For my top, I picked the Yvonna Tee in black. I had a hard time deciding on a color though, since they are all so pretty! The tee is $69 and comes in five sizes and colors – oatmeal, white, crushed cran, starling green and black. The Yvonna Tee is made with organic cotton and a recycled polyester blend.

prAna Mantra Pant –

I decided on the Mantra Pant in cobblestone for my pants. When they arrived, they were about 8 inches longer than they needed to be for my height so I hemmed them up. With highs in the 90’s with at least 50% humidity for the last couple of weeks, I really didn’t want to wear them. I finally got around to putting them on and I fell in love! They were incredibly comfortable and kept me just as cool as the shorts I otherwise would have worn. The pants are $79 and come in four colors – oatmeal, black herringbone, cargo green and coal. The Mantra Pant is made of Sutra® hemp, a recycled polyester blend, a little bit of spandex and has an elastic waistband.

About prAna:

When you reach into your closet, there should be something there that reflects who you are, how you feel, and what you value most. There should be something that you can put on in the morning and confidently wear all day long. Something you can throw in your bag and know will work for whatever your journey brings. prAna is that something. We create versatile, stylish, and sustainable clothing and accessories that you can wear during every activity, every adventure, every day. How do we know? Because we base our designs on our own experiences. You see we’re more than makers, we’re doers—yogis, climbers, and world travelers—and we use our knowledge to make clothes that look good and play hard. We like to focus on the details, and aren’t afraid to go bold when it comes to colors and whimsical patterns. We love to combine classic style with modern materials, ever mindful of where and how our creations are made.

Pros and Cons to Buying prAna:

Pros:

• They wash well.
• Neither of my pieces were overly wrinkly after traveling.
• The fabrics are insanely comfortable.
• Many of their items contain a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor).

Cons:

• While prAna’s clothes are mindfully made, they are a little too pricey for me.
• There isn’t a plus-size section of clothes.
