Summer Shorts

Let’s talk shorts. Whether you’re heading to the office, running errands, or enjoying a day at the beach, we’ve got you covered with chic and practical options.

Styling Tips:

Accessorize Wisely: Add a statement belt or some chic jewelry to elevate your look.

Footwear Matters: Match your shoes to the occasion—heels or flats for the office, comfy flats or sneakers for errands, and sandals for the beach.

Fabric Choices: Opt for breathable materials like cotton, linen, and light denim to stay cool and comfortable.

This summer, let your shorts do the talking. From professional settings to casual outings and beach escapades, find the perfect pair that fits your style and the occasion. Stay cool, confident, and stylish all season long!

Work:

Who says you can’t wear shorts to work? With the right pair, you can stay cool and professional. Opt for tailored shorts in neutral colors or subtle patterns. Pair them with a crisp blouse or a lightweight blazer for a polished look that’s perfect for those hot summer days at the office.

Errands:

Running errands doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. Choose comfortable yet stylish shorts like denim or linen, paired with a simple tee or a breezy top. Add some trendy sneakers or casual sandals to keep you moving with ease and flair.

Beach:

For those days when you’re heading to the beach, go for relaxed and fun shorts. Think all white, bright colors, playful patterns, or even classic denim cutoffs. Pair them with your favorite swimsuit, a wide-brimmed hat, and some stylish sunglasses. Don’t forget a light cover-up for when the sun sets!

Summer Fabric Cheat Sheet

Fabric selection is key in helping to navigate hot temperatures. Natural fibers work well in the summer. Natural fibers come from animals, plants, or minerals. These fibers are used to create fabrics for garments. Natural fabrics are breathable, environmentally friendly, and moisture wicking. They can help to keep the body cool. Synthetic fabrics, man-made fibers, tend to trap heat and odor.

Here are a few examples of natural fabrics along with a few benefits.

Natural fabrics have great qualities but be sure to consider how the items are sourced and the social and environmental impact during production.

Celebrating with Style and Respect

Greetings!

As we approach Memorial Day, it's a time for us to honor and remember the brave men and women who have sacrificed for our country. It's also an opportunity to come together with family and friends to celebrate the freedoms we cherish.

Whether you're planning to attend a BBQ, host a gathering, or simply enjoy a day off, we've got some tips to help you celebrate with both style and respect.

1. Remember the Meaning

While it's a day for fun and relaxation, take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. Memorial Day honors America's military men and women who lost their lives in service to their country

Moment of Silence: Consider observing a moment of silence to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Attend a Memorial Day Ceremony: Local organizations host events to pay tribute to fallen soldiers.  

Support Veterans: Highlight ways to support veterans, such as donating to veteran organizations or volunteering.

2. Dress for the Occasion

Memorial Day gatherings often mean spending time outdoors, so comfort is key. Opt for a chic yet casual look:

Breathable Fabrics: Choose lightweight materials like cotton or linen to stay cool.

Festive Colors: Incorporate red, white, and blue into your outfit subtly, like a navy dress with a white scarf or a red top with blue jeans.

Comfortable Footwear: Stylish sandals or sneakers will keep you comfortable throughout the day.

3. Host with Heart and Capture Memories

If you're hosting a BBQ/cookout, create a welcoming environment that honors the spirit of Memorial Day

Menu Planning: Offer a variety of dishes to accommodate all guests, including classic BBQ favorites and some healthier options.

Music and Activities: Curate a playlist of upbeat and fun songs and organize games or activities for both kids and adults.

Capture Moments: Don't forget to capture the special moments. Take photos to commemorate the day and share them with friends and family. However, don't forget to be in the moment and put the phone down.

Let’s come together to honor our heroes and enjoy the company of our loved ones. Wishing you a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day!

Warm regards,
