Earth Thanks' Natural Hemp Jumper Sweater

If a totally classic autumnal pullover is what you're looking for, look no further than Earth Thanks' Natural Hemp Jumper Sweater ($135.99). While it definitely looks like something you'd steal from your grandfather's closet, it's actually made from organic, sustainably-sourced Italian hemp and non-toxic, sustainably sourced dyes. The sweater comes in several colors, so you're bound to find something that fits your personality.

Everlane's Chunky Cardigan ($110) makes us want to sit next to a roaring fire while reading a book, drinking hot cider, and watching the leaves change from a bay window. The sweater is made from 100 percent organic cotton, and the company ensures that its global employees make a living wage, and have safe working conditions. It's important to note that Everlane was involved in a BLM scandal, though, so do your research on the brand before making any decisions.

The company encourages customers to donate their favorite clothes to its Give Back Box program, and it uses carbon offset shipping, by financially contributing to various eco-friendly causes for every item that's shipped.
