You’re not quite ready to start hugging trees.

But after living among rows of building-lined blocks for months, you’d like a reminder that they exist.

Something from Kate Organic will do the trick. The fair-trade clothing company, which uses organic cotton and low-impact dyes, plants a tree for every garment bought.

The line comprises cute separates and an inviting trench, but the fun is in the dresses. The ocean-colored Emma Peel is a ’60s throwback with an A-line skirt and snap-front belt. And the cowl-neck Tokyo jumper is sleeveless for these lingering hot days, but looks great layered over long sleeves.

Though you may not meet the actual tree planted for your purchase, you’ll feel a greater connection to the next one you see.

You may even give it a pat on the back.
