Fanatic about Fabrics
Certain fabrics and styles of stitching will always be in vogue.
No matter how many new glittery synthetic cloths appear on the market, the tried and tested favorites are determined to stick around. The Gingham Stretch Cotton Shirt from Ralph Lauren boys is one example of this, proving that a traditional fabric with a contemporary touch can bring a whole outfit together. Available in Mint, Orange, and Pink, the soft and stretchy gingham is comfortable for all day wear and effortlessly classy to boot. Pair with light jeans to complete the look and continue the legacy of this timeless cloth.
The purpose of stitching, quilting and knitting is to create tighter seams and provide optimal insulation for a given piece of clothing.
However, it’s also a relatively easy way to add some interest into an outfit without much extra effort. Take the Camo Quilted Baseball Jacket from Ralph Lauren Boys, available in this dashing motley camouflage print. While the classic stitching is intended to keep you warm, it also gives the jacket an aesthetically pleasing bonus pattern! Throw this on in the coming windy months to feel snug as a bug and cool as a cucumber.
Cotton is one of the most commonly used fabrics in clothing, and for good reason!
It has survived and thrived through fashion trend after fashion trend due to its versatility and eternal ability to adapt to the ever changing modern standards. The Landers Floral Tie from Original Penguin Ties and Bowties is a 100% cotton creation that stands this test of time. Designed in a grey undertone with flowers softly peeking through from the background, this neckpiece is a current fashion statement disguised as an age-old clothing choice classic.
For another contemporary cotton creation I recommend the Norral Houndstooth Tie, also from Original Penguin Ties and Bowties.
Keeping with the theme of the fabric’s ever adaptable nature, it’s worth remembering that you can be understated and elegant, or quirky and personal, depending on your mood and style. Let your wardrobe evolve and don’t be afraid to be bold in the patterns that are popping up in today’s fashion scene. If cotton can keep up with the changing times, there’s no doubt that you can as well!
The underwear industry wouldn’t be very successful if boxers-briefs were scratchy and not breathable.
Enter the Tabba-Zhabba Brief from Tango Hotel! Among the most demure of patterns the site has to offer, the underwear boasts the company’s signature polyester/spandex blend and is engineered for your comfort. While some fabrics stay current and adaptable through the years, your undergarments are an area where it pays to be a little more modern. Complete with wicking and panelling to avoid bunching, these briefs are the contemporary clothing dream.
