You Asked Us: Fashion Dilemmas this Fall

Q: The heat in my office gets unbearable in winter. How do I simultaneously dress for cold weather and overheated offices?

A: It’s called layering, and it’s the smartest way to dress in the winter. Rather than a bulky sweater, try one of our fine guage merino turtlenecks or a cashmere crew, over which you can wear a beautiful, unconstructed sportcoat. Or make that second layer a vest. From cable knits to lightweight, quilted styles, we offer many fashion-forwrad options that are both comfortable and on trend. Tip: wear a top-quality performance tee under your first layer for extra comfort and temperature control; fabric technology has advanced tremendously in recent seasons so that a simple tee can keep you warmer in the cold and cooler in your overheated office.

Q: I’ve been living in sneakers all summer, and I dread the thought of squeezing my feet into rigid dress shoes. Any fall footwear options that are both comfortable and stylish?

A: Yes! The footwear market feels your pain and is offering many variations of hybrid shoes that combine a beautiful soft leather upper with a comfort bottom. Soft leather or suede slip-ons and lace-ups are just as comfortable as canvas sneakers…and notably elevate your style. Come in and check out or fabulous assortment of fall footwear or shop the selection online.

Q: Why do I need to buy expensive underwear when it doesn’t show?

A: Let us count the ways.

  1. A great fit. the right base layer makes everything you wear over it look better. Pant styles these days are slimmer and your old, bulky underwear could ruin your look.
  2. For comfort. New luxury perofrmance fabrics feel incredibly soft and breathable.
  3. To save the planet. Many tech fabrics are sustainably sourced.
  4. For easy care. Tech fabrics come out of the washer and dryer looking like new.
  5. For their many amazing properties. The wicking, anti-microbial, quick-dry, odor-control and temperature-control of these undies make them worth it.
  6. When was the last time you replaced the underwear in your drawer? If your boxers and briefs are old, frayed, stretched out and embarrassingly gray, it’s time!
  7. Wearing the good stuff will make you look and feel younger and sexier. Need we say more?
