# Eco-Friendly Utilitarian Outerwear Norden's Fall/Winter 2021 Collection Offers Minimalist Styles By Elena Rahman | Published 2021-09-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordens-fallwinter References: [nordenproject](https://nordenproject.com/) Norden's Fall/Winter 2021 outerwear collection features utilitarian designs. All of its jackets are made from 100% recycled and repurposed materials such as Polartec Power Fill, a premium insulation solution. The brand's outerwear is designed to combat the cold Canadian winters with ethically made items and stylish designs. Additionally, the brand partnered with TerraCycle to rework hard-to-recycle materials. Many of Norden's styles include seam-sealed jackets to allow garments to be water-resistant and help the wearer stay dry. Made to fit clients' needs, the styles include warm, timeless, and durable jackets such as the seasonal Parkas, Puffers, and other accessories. Boasting a minimal, sophisticated, and contemporary line of colors, the brand focuses on evolving with its consumers' ever-changing needs.
