The Lee x H&M collection — which includes reimagined versions of old-school favorites, like a cocoon-silhouette Rider jacket, denim corsets, a cropped long-sleeve crewneck, wide-leg jeans, and a denim bucket hat — not only doubles as a wearable time capsule, but it’s also the retailer’s most sustainable line yet. Recognizing the responsibility to minimize fashion’s footprint, the Lee x H&M team considered sustainability in every step of the process, from design to end-use. The collection includes H&M’s first-ever 100% recycled cotton jeans, non-toxic buttons and zippers, a backpatch made with responsibly sourced cork, prints from water-based ink, and more. And they’ve got the receipts to back it up: H&M shared the line’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data — which measures each product’s potential environmental impact — on its website. Scroll to shop pieces that will simultaneously fill you with nostalgic joy and hope for the future.
