One of the upsides to the current environment is there are some bargains to be found. I am focusing on a couple of specific areas: basics that are seasonless and special Zoom- ready tops. Because of the particular way video calls handle visuals and lighting, I recommend a more bold pattern or brighter color than one may be used to.
These are some sale picks that, as of writing, still have a good selection of sizes. If your size is not available, no need to panic, there will be more sales from other shops coming along every day.
Nike Cortez: $54 at Nordstrom. I like these for men and women. It is a summer classic, works well with jeans and chinos, and is a nice alternative to the Stan Smith look.
Everlane T-shirt for men. $13.50. This classic navy T will look good with white Levi’s or denim, either faded or dark. Wear it with a white sneaker.
Everlane White Organic Women’s T-Shirt. 3 for $45. Nice modern cut, they wash and wear well. Order a few as it’s nice to always have a crisp white tee on hand- freshens up any outfit.
Men’s Chukka Boot. $59.99. I love a chukka on a man. These are Nordstrom’s in-house brand, and we can’t really tell what the quality is, but the price is unbeatable.
Printed Utility Blouse By Karl Lagerfeld. $47.70. This one will look particularly nice on Zoom and not bust the budget. Roll up the sleeves and add some gold bangles and hoop earrings.
Lauren Ralph Lauren Equestrian Print Shirt. $53.70. This is another good Zoom look that would work well if worn with a matte red or hot pink lip.
Linen Face Masks. $22. Rachel Craven. Made of double layered 100% linen – linen is 30% stronger than cotton & is naturally antibacterial. This mask has a pocket for a replaceable filter, and heavy duty cord elastic ear loops. Reusable, machine washable, and sewn in downtown Los Angeles under strict hygienic conditions. One size fits most.For each mask purchased, RC will donate a mask to A New Way of Life Reentry Project.
