You don't have to sacrifice trendiness to be environmentally conscious, as this week's trend proves. While stainless steel water bottles have been used for the past several years, the trendy following for them has really taken off in the past year or so.

Tri-boro residents are sporting them at the gym, walking around with them on the streets and storing them in their purses and handbags. Men have been seen toting them as well.

Now let's take a closer look at this week's featured trend:
