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,

Tailored Trench Coat: A classic trench coat is a timeless spring staple for the office. You can’t go wrong with a tailored silhouette in a neutral hue like beige, navy, or camel. This versatile piece can be layered over professional attire for a polished and sophisticated look while providing protection from spring showers. But if you want to spice it up, opt for a fun print or color blocking, or other embellishments. Just because it is a staple doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your unique style.

White Button-Down Shirt: A white button-down shirt is a wardrobe essential that never goes out of style. Choose a well-fitted shirt with quality fabric and minimal detailing for a timeless and professional appearance. Pair it with tailored trousers, skirts, or blazers for a sophisticated office ensemble.

Tailored Trousers: Invest in a pair of tailored trousers. While neutral shades like black, navy, or charcoal gray are versatile, don’t be afraid to play with color. Choose a fit and style that you love, and a high-quality fabric that will withstand the test of time. Tailored trousers can be dressed up or down and paired with various tops and blazers for a polished office look.

Structured Tote Bag: A structured tote bag is a practical and stylish accessory for the office. Opt for a design in a durable material like leather or faux leather.
