Boot Barn’s Wonderwest Offers New Take on Western Women’s Wear - Sourcing Journal

Image
Boot Barn creative director Isha Nicole is hoping the 45-year-old franchise that caters to cowboys and ranchers can leapfrog on the Western fashion trend and bring the lifestyle fully into the mainstream. A veteran SoCal stylist, Nicole was a later-in-life convert to the country-Western scene and noted how cowboy boots, fringe, wide-brimmed hats and lots of leather influenced tastemakers outside the scene. "I saw this really cool fusion of brands, artists, stylists and public figures that were embracing Western fashion within their own worlds," she said. A stint at Tennessee's Dan Post Boot Company helped Nicole understand the boot supply chain, which largely relies on world-class artisans in Leon, Mexico. She developed an appreciation not just for the cowboy boot's unique aesthetic, but the craftsmanship that goes into creating its rugged toughness. "You establish this association with a product and how it encapsulates the American spirit, and it kind of becam...

Canada Goose SS22 is engineered for adventure - Dazed

Designed for outdoor discovery, the outerwear brand's Travel Light collection is perfect for heading deep into nature with new perspective 13 July 2022 Cities are great, but have you tried the countryside? It's not some sort of anti-urban conspiracy that 'outdoors' is always prefixed by 'the great' or that green spaces are idealised as idyllic. The grass really is greener on the other side of your bedroom window, no matter how healthy your houseplants might be. It's tricky, though, to know where to start. Not just in terms of location but also what to wear. Thankfully, Canada Goose's Travel Light collection has us covered, and layered, and is just as apt for budding adventurers as it is for seasoned explorers. Whether the weather holds up or decides to rain on your parade, you'll stay dry and comfortable until the cows follow you home. We've been testing the new collection as part of the Travel Light series , which invited...

Lululemon just unveiled its first outdoors collection, and The North Face should be worried - T3

Image
Popular athletic clothing brand Lululemon has today unveiled a new outdoors clothing collection. While the brand's athletic wear is firmly established as a favourite in gyms and yoga studios – and is now also making waves in the running shoe market – this is its first foray into outdoors apparel. The Lululemon Hike range (opens in new tab) includes hiking trousers, fleece jackets, bags, hats and – our top pick – hike-to-swim shorts. It's currently only available in some UK stores, but is due to go online on 19 July.  Outdoor apparel is quite often all about the performance, with style trailing sadly behind – our rankings of the best walking trouser and best fleece jackets both have plenty of ultra-functional products, but only a handful you'd be happy to also wear about town, I suspect. That's probably the correct way round – looking cool won't keep you warm at on a cold night, and it won't ease the pain of a chafing hem or make a too-tight pair of tr...

Where to Find the Companion With a Bomber Jacket and Gold Chain in Stray - DBLTAP

Image
Some players in Stray are wondering where they can find the Companion NPC who wears a bomber jacket and a gold chain. After meeting with Clementine, she will tell players about a contact of hers that can help them get into the Neco Factory without being noticed. This contact is waiting nearby and, according to her, wears a brown leather bomber jacket and a gold chain around his neck. To continue with the quest, players will need to find him and prepare to go undercover inside the factory. Here's where to find the NPC. pic.twitter.com/0CdCLOlsCW — Iosef Lilianovich Dros (@TheDeserter92) July 19, 2022 Players can find him waiting for them at the last threshold of the alley across the street from the Nightclub. This is the second alley players cross when heading into Midtown from the elevator, right next to the fashion/clothing shop on Shop Street. To find him, continue all the way down the alley until it intersects with another corridor. The Companion should be waiting there, noncha...

20 Best Fall Dresses for Women 2022 — Best Dresses for Fall - ELLE

Image
Courtesy of retailers If you, like me, are currently sweating your way through summer, shopping for fall dresses might be the last thing on your mind. But, in case it hasn't already registered, August is nearly here. That means your days of much-needed (and deserved!) iced coffees are creeping towards the end of their peak season. In their place come apple cider donuts, maple sugar pies, and, naturally, pumpkin spiced lattes. Do I think of seasons in terms of food? Yes. Do I also think of seasons in terms of fashion? Absolutely. I don't know about you, but bearing with the dog days of summer has me yearning for the cooler days of fall, which includes the ever-lovely activity of fall dressing. And while summer lends itself to airy dresses, the one-and-done closet staple isn't strictly reserved for the warmest months of the year—and if you've kept a tab on the fall trends, ...

2022 Revolve Sale: What Our Editors Are Buying - MarieClaire.com

Image
Let's get one thing straight: I never really need a new reason to shop these days. Window-shopping and online browsing are massive parts of my job at  Marie Claire,  and I pride myself on always knowing about the best sales and deals (opens in new tab)  in the 'biz as soon as they happen. That's why I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw 2022's latest Revolve sale.  I immediately turned to the rest of my team here at  Marie Claire  and asked them what they were buying. The discounts are  major  (to the tune of up to 85 percent off), and the brands are next-level chic. There are even a few never-on-sale brands included, so it's time to shop while you still can.  We rounded up a few of the cutest summer dresses (opens in new tab) , the trendiest footwear (opens in new tab)  options for the season, and a few of the most in-demand accessories you c...
