1. I Just want to be comfortable
Business Casual is having a renaissance
With less businesses enforcing the suit and tie dress code, an overwhelming majority of us stick to some version of business casual.
Slacks and a button down sounds easy, but sometimes chinos can be stiff and unforgiving.
If you have ever had an off the rack pair of chinos that didn’t fit you perfectly, then you know that there are certain areas of discomfort when you try to move around in them. For that, I’d rather be in sweatpants.
Performance cotton blends have enough give to make an off the rack pair of pants feel just like a pair of sweatpants.

PERFORMANCE FABRIC
I don’t know about you, but I feel way more comfortable in sweat pants.
Unfortunately, I simply cannot allow myself to always walk around in life while wearing sweat pants.
Enter: stretchy pants that easily pass as regular jeans, chino’s and dress pants!

2. I can Go ahead & dress it up
Nobody will notice
In seriously formal situations, stick with the classic wool suits and quality dress shoes to ensure you will not stick out for the wrong reasons.
When you don’t have to be that formal, restrictions can be a thing of the past.
In most situations, feel free to experiment with various fabrics, colors and combinations..

3. Soft Wool sweaters are basically like dressier sweatpants for your torso.
The luxurious Feel of Cashmere sweaters
Living in the North East I basically wear a button down/sweater combo, with or without a suit, almost every single day.
I typically avoid thick bulky sweaters, unless used as a top layer, as they don’t otherwise layer as well.
I firmly believe that with sweaters, when you can, you should get 100% wool.
WHY?
A 100% woolen sweater provides more warmth with less fabric while also being able to wick moisture and stay breathable enough to help regulate your temperature.
Each type of wool has its own unique benefits. While cashmere has, to me is the softest to the touch, most all feature:
- – Water resistance
- – Fire resistance
- – Moisture wicking
- – Breathable
- – Really Soft

Versatility is Key
Falling in love with a piece of clothing is normal.
For me, just buying whatever caught my eye led to an eclectic collection of colors and styles that didn’t necessarily pair well with each other. I noticed that as I scaled my closet, getting ready in the morning wasn’t getting any easier.
To fix that, I started to focus on outfits. Only buying clothes if I could create at least one outfit from it.
Outfit shopping was fun, running around pairing things and giving myself license to buy more than one item at a time, but it would typically only get me one days worth of wear. Especially if the components to the outfit were very flashy or unique.
The problem I had found with outfit shopping is that I would then have to plot the time in between when I wore it last to when I could wear it again. Which after a while tended to be a lot of mental work.
Ultimately, the best thing for me has been building a collection of complimentary items that adhere to certain color pallettes which can that can be swapped into multiple outfits without anyone being the wiser.
For example, here is a collection of 7 different outfits using the same pair of grey chinos and navy v-neck cashmere sweater from @mottandbow
Now getting ready is much quicker, more seamless, and my wardrobe is more versatile with less items. Best yet, I don’t have to do the mental math of when did I wear this outfit last, because even the smallest variations can completely transform an outfit.
