The summer is a great time to soothe our anxieties, relax in the sun, slow things down and well— COLLECT your thoughts for the rest of the year. I am finding that many of the people I know start to keep things very close to home as fall sets in. To be honest no matter the season we really aren’t straying far from home like we used to. Why leave the couch when technology makes your home the center of work and socializing?

Our friends are thinking and doing the same things. Does this mean no one ever goes anywhere and we all stay in our respective shells? Not at all. However, there is a shift in how we spend our social time. Options to meet at a friend’s house or at a city park take precedence over a club or restaurant. And being dressed comfortably takes precedence over everything.

Yes, we want comfort, but we don’t want to look like we went straight from rolling out of bed to going out for an evening with our friends. Style that transitions from function to fun is what’s happening now. For men, I would pair the OGIO Urban Shirt (OG1000), which can double as a shirt jacket with the District Medal Tee underneath it (DT564). Another outfit combo we have seen in heavy rotation is the old-school and super cool Sport-Tek Super Heavyweight Full-Zip Sweatshirt (ST284), District Medal Tee (DT564) and the Sport-Tek Sport-Wick Fleece Jogger (ST233).

The Takeaway

Comfort, comfort, comfort and flexible function. We keep our styles close to home and easy-going.
