It's 2020. Which means the most stylish thing you can do is care for Mother Nature. Whether it's recycling, changing up your beauty products to reduce waste (opens in new tab), buying vintage pieces (opens in new tab), or investing in my personal favorite, Rothy's. The brand's eco-friendly shoes, made from recycled plastic bottles, are a favorite of A-listers like Meghan Markle (opens in new tab), Katie Holmes (opens in new tab), Emma Roberts, and Lili Reinhart, not to mention the large Marie Claire staff (opens in new tab) are also favorites.

That's why we're so excited to announce the relaunch of our fan-favorite Merino Collection. For those of you who are not familiar with the Merino Collection, it is a very soft and comfortable collection knitted with premium wool and Rothy's signature yarns. This collection includes Rothy's best-selling shoes, including the Square (open in new tab), Point (open in new tab), Mary Jane (open in new tab), and Sneaker (open in new tab). And now, a new silhouette, the Merino Ankle Boot (opens in new tab).

The ankle boot is a comfortable square-toe bootie with excellent elasticity. The only difficult part will be deciding if you want them in black or brown. (Also, did we mention that, like all Rothy's shoes, they are machine washable?

And if you're wondering where the wool in the Merino collection comes from, don't worry: Rothy's works with a textile partner called Tollegno 1900 (opens in new tab), which is known for having the highest standards in terms of environmental and animal welfare .
