About the Author
- The Professional Vegan
- I am a twenty-something ex-investment banker, now lawyer, working for the federal government. I have a closet full of sophisticated and fashionable professional clothes and accessories, most of which are non-vegan; I am committed to slowly replacing each non-vegan item with a vegan-friendly alternative that is as sophisticated and fasionable.

Professional Vegan's Origins
When I graduated from law school in May 2008, I not only became a lawyer, but also a vegan. Browsing through my closet, I realized that I cannot assemble a single outfit with what constitutes my current professional wardrobe. Almost everything contains wool, silk, or leather. Replacing it all right now while working for the federal government and paying off law school loans is impossible (and wasteful). So, I decided to replace a few items initially (and then donate what I replaced), continue to wear what I own, and to slowly replace other items as they wear out and as my discretionary income allows.
That was until I began shopping. Almost none of the vegan clothing for sale compares in sophistication and professional style to my current clothing. But, I am a shopaholic and know I can find items that are just as or more sophisticated and trendy as my current pieces. I bought my first replacement item after two months of searching. This blog chronicles my search for replacements, highlighting interesting vegan clothing and accessories for both women and men that I stumble upon during my search.
Sophisticated, fashionable, professional vegan-friendly clothing does exist!
