Substance – eco-friendly is most important. My favorite is the flipside short sleeve shirt.
Style is important to me. I like the flipside short sleeve shirt from the spring collection.
I just love the Flourish Dress which is gorgeous. I love it in orchid and see it is a cashmere/angora blend. Perfection!
With the full gamut of new eco-friendly clothing options we have these days, we no longer need to give up style for substance! It’s worth a little extra time to look around for an ecological version of the latest and greatest styles.
My favorite from the nau spring line? The Courier Skirt. ‘Cuz I like to be girly and active at the same time!
Happy to spread the word!

randy goat hoody is my favorite! I think style over substance if I’m really honest, but it’s slowly changing!
I like the randy goat hoody.
and, i’d honestly like to say substance is more important, but I can’t, style is more important. I have to feel comfortable in it first.
1 to be honest i buy what i can afford the only racks i shop are clearance racks so style or substance as long as its on the clearance rack..
2 i love the transporter blazer

Substance is more important, but I can’t spend a fortune either. I like the Motil Ped.
Would love to win !!
Substance.
Maybe if the price was comparable. Most of the times it seems like it’s 5 or more times as much.
M2 Skirt.
I just love the Flourish Dress which is gorgeous. I love it in orchid and see it is a cashmere/angora blend. Perfection!
I love the striped lightbeam jacket. The clean lines and futuristic chic really works for the image of nau. I think substance is more important, but it’s hard to do on a budget.
