sweats Falls Hot New Looks (part 2)

Why we love it

This feels really new for FP, although we’ve always loved our comfy, easy, beachy pieces, we recognized this season that they could be worn in a cooler more edgy way.  

How we’ll be wearing it

There’s a street style feeling to this trend, so it’s really about wearing this look with your own attitude and plenty of confidence. The key item is the knit pant, but styled up so they don’t look like everyday joggers.  We love them cropped at the knee and worn with a wedged statement shoe or chunky military boot for a fashion twist.  

The fabrics are super soft and in muddy heathery colors that feel like the end of summer and have that cozy feel to take you into fall.   It’s slouchy and sexy so we are loving the oversized tops and sweaters and anything worn off the shoulder to get this look spot on.

    Love this idea! I used to work as a designer for Lands’ End Catalog and every friday during the summer they would hold a huge Farmers Market at the Home Office! It was a great touch and perk for employees!

  • Lilianna says:

    I love love LOVE the mocs, but how are the soles? Do you think they’d stand up to some wear and tear?
    They’re so adorable, but I want to make sure they’ll last!

    I think the title is a bit inappropriate because it’s a play on words of a potentially offensive slang phrase.. In the context of it’s website it makes sense, and is even pretty funny, and linking to it is fine, but using at the title sort of endorses the term it references. For a company that doesn’t have a ton of ethnic diversity in its publications…. it comes off as a bit racially insensitive, especially if you are a woman of color. I know you didn’t mean any harm by it, and probably didn’t even realize, but you should think these things through a bit before posting them!

    Love love love this yarn bombing! I love the bicycle! I just repainted my bike last weekend and now I wish I would have wrapped it in yarn instead!
