The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Baselayer This Winter

You’re on a ski trip with your family, and though it’s absolutely freezing out, you can’t miss a day on the mountain. You throw on your warmest clothes to layer under your ski pants and jacket and head to the resort. The first chairlift ride is fine—a little chilly but totally doable. Carving turns down the mountain warms you up, and you even work up a little sweat. That second lift ride … miserable!

The Curvy Solution
Fjällräven’s Eco-Friendly, Women-Hiking Pants

Curvy women are familiar with the struggle. Women’s clothing has always seemed like a smaller version of men’s clothing. Any pants or bottoms that fit the waistline are way too tight in the thigh area. Those that do fit around the thighs fall off the waist. There’s usually no middle ground. For too long, these sizing struggles have led to feelings of resentment toward our bodies. We’ve left stores depressed and empty-handed. No one needs to feel that way while shopping for new pants.

Brand Spotlight

Cotopaxi, a brand leading the way

Cotopaxi’s brand motto, “Do Good”, isn’t just another lofty, empty promise from a large corporation. It’s actually the opposite - a brand that is leading the way, making substantial, actionable changes in the outdoor fashion industry - truly doing good. But don’t just take our word for it - here’s a rundown of why we love Cotopaxi (and think you should too!)

And the risk of “trying” an unfamiliar product or brand effectively wiped out all the benefits of all that supposed convenience

Sustainable Material

Tencel & Recycled Wool

Tencel and recycled materials are snagging the spotlight in 2021. According to the Allied Market Research report in 2020, the recycled textiles market is slated to reach $8 billion by 2026, up 5.2%. As technology advances, the fashion industry will continue adapting to embrace the abundance of recycling opportunities. 

Sustainable Materials 

Organic Cotton & Recycled Polyester

Let's take a deeper look into organic cotton and recycled polyester, ways to support such fibers and the impacts from our consumerism habits at hand. As we graciously brace through Winter 2021 and adhere to life adjustments from COVID-19, who doesn't want to be comfortable? But when you dream of comfort in your clothing, do you imagine cotton? Or maybe polyester?

Spring Cleaning Part 1 

Thoughtfully Cleanout your Closet

One of my favorite things to do is cleaning out my closet. There is something invigorating and emotionally freeing about eliminating the old, or the “unworn”. In turn, we optimistically make space for the new and better understand what we are putting to good use. We must consider where the “old” and unworn is going when discarded.
