I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it’s 70 degrees or below 17, you’re bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn’t exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie’s younger brother from “A Christmas Story” — think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I’m hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn’t until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist.

The rise in direct-to-consumer bedding brands not only translates to higher quality goods for fairer prices but also better environmental practices, from the softest sheet sets made with chemical- and cruelty-free manufacturing to partially biodegradable-fill comforters, certified-organic mattresses, fair-trade pillows, and beyond. In addition to premium eco-friendly products, many of these companies also partner with environmental protection groups to promote social action, too — whether it’s planting a tree per purchase, exploring alternative energy options, practicing people-first employee ethics, and equal pay, or just minimizing water consumption.

My prayers have been answered, and we are almost at the finish line when it comes to winter. No more big and chunky sweaters, puffer coats, and beanies, and now, I am getting ready for sundresses, sandals, and all the linen pieces I can get my hands on. When heading on my spring shopping journey, one brand was my first stop: Reformation. I am what you might call a Ref girl, so it’s no surprise that this retailer was first on my list. Luckily for me, the brand has just dropped stunning new pieces for spring that are so good I knew I needed to round up the best pieces from the drop to tell you about before they’re all sold out.
