Thank you for checking out my blog this week!
This week SQUAD CLOTH is making progress because pre-ordering is now officially finished for the East Knox Basketball shirts and we are beginning printing soon. I am very excited to see these shirts when they are finished because it will be great to have my brand and high school on the same shirt. While I have only made a few products, the feeling that you get when you see something you designed in your hands for the first time is amazing. That feeling is minimal compared to seeing someone wearing a design that you made. This week I have also been working on my sketches through the online classes at www.skillshare.com, focusing specifically on more gestural approaches to sketching garments. Creating fashion sketches is an art in itself because the goal is to properly portray the garment in only a few minutes and move on to the next. While I might still be slow, I am improving and honestly enjoying sketching something that I am so passionate about.
Since this is the last post before we celebrate Thanksgiving, I thought that I would give you guys some tips on wearing sweats. That way you can add four inches onto your waist from food and still be comfortable and fashionable, instead of suffering in pants with the button undone. Now I realize a lot of people associate wearing sweats with the gym or just plain laziness, but like most things they can be dressed up if it is done correctly. Since there are so many form fitting sweats that are high quality, it is quite easy actually. Zanerobe, Premium Co, and Entree have excellent jogger sweats for that slim fit that makes this look. So lets start from the bottom: I would start out with a pair of sneakers that are more plain in color, then a good pair of fitted sweats, a layering t-shirt, a button up long sleeve shirt, then to really dress up the whole look throw on a trench coat and you are golden.
The trench coat is really the finishing piece that makes this outfit look a lot better than someone who is just dressed comfortably. Honestly pairing the sweats with any dress shirt will make it look a lot more dressed up, so I would challenge you to give it a try. WARNING! Do not try to do this with sweat pants that are ill-fitting or that have any applied graphics or embroidery on them because it will just end badly.
As always thank you for reading and check back in next week for the latest from SQUAD CLOTH. HOME OF THE FULLGROWN.
