1. Crew Neck
The most common of all the necklines, crew necks are seen often in both men's and women's tops. The neckline sits close to the base of the neck, but doesn't rise above it like mock necks or turtlenecks do.
2. V-Neck
A v-neckline is found a lot in women's tops and less often in men's tops. With women's tops, the v-neck can be closer to the neck, revealing just a bit of skin, or very deep, revealing the top of the chest. Some v-necks aren't appropriate for work settings so use caution when shopping for them. Deep v-necks can be worn with a tank top or camisole underneath for more coverage.
3. Scoop Neck
A scoop neckline is similar to a crew neck, but a bit looser. It hits below the collarbone for a more relaxed fit. Sometimes scoop necks can look like you've just stretched the neckline of a crew neck shirt too much, so be sure to know what type of look you're going for before wearing one.
4. Boat Neck
A more regal look, the boat neck is sometimes also referred to as the bateau neckline. It's a wide neckline that sits straight across the shoulders, revealing the top of the collarbone and the part of the shoulder closest to the base of the neck.
5. Turtleneck
A turtleneck top is ideal for fall and winter because it covers up the neck. A turtleneck can be tight or loose, depending on the style. It usually comes all the way up to the bottom of the chin, covering all of the neck to keep the chill away.
6. Mock Neck
A mock neckline is in between a turtleneck and a crew neck. It falls midway down the neck, covering up the base of the neck but not going as far as the chin.
You'll find all of these necklines and more on our website. Adding a variety of necklines to your wardrobe gives you versatility and keeps things interesting.

Pair summer's favorite top with fall's favorite top by wearing a crop top underneath a cardigan. Cardigans are very versatile and super cozy, so it's a no-brainer to wear one over top a cute crop. A chunky cardigan is even better because it really plays off that summer/fall transition vibe.
Jean jackets are the perfect fall jacket because they are heavy enough to keep you warm on a chilly fall day, but not as hot as winter coats so you won't feel like you're suffocating once the afternoon sun starts to heat things up. Wearing a crop top underneath a trendy jean jacket is a great way to keep this summer staple going well into the fall.
Skirts are a great transition piece for fall when the weather is still warm enough to show a bit of skin. A long-sleeved crop top is ideal when pairing with a skirt made from a heavier fabric. Throw on some cute booties or sexy heels and you've got an outfit that's perfect for date night.
Trench coats have increased in popularity over the past few years thanks to celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Meghan Markle. These are awesome for wearing with a crop top because they provide plenty of coverage from the chilly fall air while still allowing you to reveal a bit of skin. Wear the trench coat open when you're warm and button it up when you start feeling a little cold.
Cropped sweaters are going to be huge this season, and the perfect way to wear them is over a crisp, long-sleeved button-up shirt. It's a style that's been popular in several different decades and has been worn by such famous names as Audrey Hepburn and Alicia Silverstone.
We have so many great crop tops on our website that would be perfect for all 5 of these looks. Add a few to your wardrobe so you're ready to rock this hot trend all season long.

Suede and leather both come from animals, usually a cow, sheep, or pig. Other animals may be used, but the materials will cost more. The skin of the animal is used to make both suede and leather, but the part of the skin that is used varies for each.
Leather is more durable than suede because it's made from the very top layer of the skin, which is naturally built to withstand more wear and tear. Suede, on the other hand, is made from several layers beneath the top layer of the skin, which is why it's not as durable as leather.
Leather, since it's made from the top layer of skin, is more durable than suede. It's also resistant to water and is smoother than suede. It is more expensive than suede and it tends to trap heat and moisture in, which may not be ideal if you like more breathable materials.
Suede is softer than leather, and therefore, not as durable. It has more of a matte finish than the smooth look that leather provides. It's also not water-resistant, which can make it difficult to clean. It is, however, less expensive than leather while still providing plenty of durability.
Both suede and leather require routine care and maintenance in order to keep them looking great and for them to last longer. Leather is more durable and much easier to clean than suede since it's water-resistant. It does still need to be cleaned and conditioned regularly with special soaps and oils.
The napped finish of suede should be brushed regularly to remove debris. A soft saddle brush is best for this. Stains that can't be removed with water should be treated by a professional, which can get costly.
Both suede and leather are great, but leather is a more durable choice. If you're on a budget, suede is an excellent alternative. Take a look at all of the suede and leather items on our website.

What Are Shield Sunglasses?
Shield sunglasses are inspired by athletes and cyclists that have long favored this large, oversized frame that blocks the sun's harmful rays while they're playing or riding. While the trend in recent years has been for smaller, funky shaped frames, the frames on shield sunglasses are usually well above the eyebrow and can reach as far down as the middle of the cheekbones.
What Are The Advantages Of Wearing Shield Sunglasses?
Besides looking cool and on-trend, shield sunglasses also protect your eyes and the upper portion of your face from the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. Exposure to these rays can lead to skin cancer and retina damage so it's important to block them out as much as possible. Since shield sunglasses cover such a large portion of the face, the sun's rays are kept away, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors while still being protected.
How Can I Rock Them Without Looking Silly?
Some may believe these oversized frames are a bit too much and may even say they look silly. Those people are wrong because this fashion trend is truly anything but silly. They look futuristic and cool and give off some really awesome extraterrestrial vibes.
If celebrities are wearing them all over the place, you know they're fashionable. Shield sunglasses even graced the runway at Paris Fashion Week- the place where all the celebrities and style influencers converge to discuss and showcase the coming year's hottest trends.
Lucky for you, we have an amazing selection of shield sunglasses that are guaranteed to have you looking sleek and stylish while also keeping those eyes and that skin protected from the sun. All of your friends will be asking where you got those awesome sunglasses from and you can be sure to tell them right here on our website. We even have similar styles available that some of the most popular celebrities have worn, so be sure to check them out and purchase some for yourself.

Short Sleeved T-Shirt
1. Lay a short sleeved t-shirt flat out on a clean surface. Fold the right sleeve in towards the center of the shirt, essentially folding the t-shirt in thirds.
2. Repeat this step with the left side of the t-shirt. You should now have both sleeve edges at the center of the shirt and one very long rectangle.
3. Fold the bottom of the t-shirt up towards the center of the rectangle.
4. Repeat this step by folding the top of the t-shirt down towards the center of the rectangle.
5. Smooth out all edges. You now have a small, neat rectangle that you can stand upright inside of your dresser drawer, allowing you to see the t-shirt color and graphics clearly while creating extra drawer space.
Long Sleeved T-Shirt
1. Lay a long sleeved t-shirt flat out on a clean surface. Fold the right sleeve in towards the center, the same way you did with the short sleeved t-shirt.
2. Take the excess sleeve length and fold it backwards towards the outer edge of the t-shirt, creating a "t" shape.
3. Fold the remaining portion of the sleeve into a triangle towards the center portion of the t-shirt. The entire sleeve portion should now be within the parameters of the outside edge of the t-shirt.
4. Repeat this process with the left side of the t-shirt, folding the sleeve backwards into a "t" shape, then triangle until the sleeve is completely within the outside parameters of the t-shirt.
5. You should now have one long rectangle. Fold the bottom edge of the t-shirt upwards towards the center.
6. Fold the top edge of the t-shirt down towards the center, creating a small rectangle.
7. Place the small rectangle upright in your dresser drawer so that you can easily see the t-shirt and create double the space.
We have dozens of awesome t-shirts on our website. Now that you've created more space in your dresser drawers, you can add more t-shirts to your collection.

1. Waterproof Shoes
If you don't enjoy the feel of shells crunchy underneath your feet as you walk in the sand, you'll want to wear a comfortable pair of waterproof shoes at the beach. Crocs and flip-flops are a popular choice, as are the classic jelly shoes. Shoes made from waterproof materials like rubber and mesh are the best options for keeping your feet safe and dry.
2. Swimsuit
You'll want to jump in that cool, refreshing water as soon as you hit the beach, so a swimsuit is a must-have item. For both women and men there are so many swimsuit styles available. One-piece, bikinis, and swimming trunks are just a few of the most common choices.
3. Sunglasses
Keep those eyes protected from the sun with a fashionable pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses keep the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays out of your eyes. They also prevent sun glare, which can be an uncomfortable experience when you're trying to have a relaxing time at the beach with your loved ones.
4. Sun Hat
Sunscreen and sunglasses help protect your body from the sun, but wearing a sun hat in addition to that is even better. Sun hats come in all shapes and styles. Two popular options are the panama hat, which features a wide brim and is usually made from straw, or a baseball cap, which has a front bill which keeps the sun out of your eyes and provides some shade.
5. Tote Bag
You'll need something to carry all of those beach essentials in, and a tote bag is perfect for that. It's large and can be slung over the shoulder so your hands are free to carry other things, like a beach chair. You can also store things like snacks, water bottles, sunscreen, and a good book to read while you're relaxing.
We have all of these beach essentials and more available on our website. Stock up now so you're ready the next time you and your loved ones want to head out to the beach.

1. They protect you from the nose down.
Unlike traditional medical face masks, the face coverings on our website start at the nose and go all the way down to the neck, preventing droplets from landing anywhere near your face. They also allow you to breathe better than traditional masks because they aren't so restrictive.
2. They help prevent sunburn.
Since most of our face coverings protect the face from the nose to the neck, this also keeps the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays away from that area of the skin. If you put a sunhat and glasses on, your face is then completely protected from the sun.
3. They double as a scarf.
When you don't need to wear the face covering over your nose and mouth, you can simply lower it down and wear it around your neck as a scarf. Since the designs on our face coverings are fashionable, this makes a wonderful addition to any outfit.
4. They're washable and reusable.
Our face coverings are made from washable fabrics like polyester, so they can either be hand washed or placed in the washing machine after each use to disinfect them. They are then reusable, making them a worthwhile investment.
5. They're lightweight and breathable.
It can be uncomfortable wearing a traditional mask in any weather, but especially during the summer months when it's hot. Our face coverings are made from lightweight polyester fabric that's breathable enough to keep you cool, despite having your face covered.
6. They come in cool designs.
Face coverings are the new way to make a fashion statement, and everyone is showing off their personal style by wearing ones with bright colors or designs. Our face coverings offer something for everyone, from delicate flowers to rugged camo, and everything in between.
If you need to add more face coverings to your collection, take a look at the ones on our website. They're affordable and stylish so you can keep yourself and others safe while looking great at the same time. Help prevent the spread of coronavirus by wearing a face covering.

1. Winter Cap With Mask Attachment
We sell a few varieties of winter masks that come with a removable face mask. The face mask is meant to keep your face warm during the cold winter weather but it can also double as a cloth face covering for when you're out in a public place. When you want to remove the mask, simply unbutton it.
2. Thermal Fleece Full Face Mask
We offer this full face mask in several different color options so it's suitable for both men and women. While the face mask is warm because of the fleece material, it would be a good option for when you are outdoors in the still somewhat-chilly spring air and need something to cover your face.
3. Bandana Scarf
Our bandana scarf functions in two ways. You can wear it as a neck warmer- below the chin, or as a nose and mouth covering when pulled up to the nose. It comes in multiple color and design options and is made from a lightweight polyester fabric so it's more suitable for the warmer months.
4. Thermal Fleece Neck Warmer
Soft and comfortable, our thermal fleece neck warmer comes in several color choices and can be worn both below the neck and over the nose and mouth. It is made from a warm, fleece material so it's better-suited for chilly days. Still, it's a good face covering option if you aren't able to find regular masks.
With a possible second wave of Covid-19 coming in the fall, it's important to stock up on face coverings now so you're prepared. While surgical and N95 masks are recommended for first responders, any type of cloth face covering is appropriate for civilians to wear.
We're pleased to provide you with cloth face coverings that make excellent alternatives to a traditional mask. The best part is, they are stylish and can be reused again and again.

What Is A Panama Hat?
A panama hat is a wide-brimmed hat, often made from straw or another lightweight, breathable material. It got its name from the Ecuadorian region that it originated from. They provide protection from the sun and heat in two ways. First, by offering shade and coverage from the sun to sensitive parts of the skin like the face, ears, neck, and shoulders. Second, by using breathable materials that allow air to flow in and around the head, wicking sweat away and keeping you cool on even the hottest summer days.
Where Can You Wear It?
Panama hats are perfect for any occasion and go with practically any outfit. You can wear them on the beach, for a casual outside picnic lunch, or even for a formal outdoor affair like a wedding or bridal shower brunch. The formality of the panama hat depends on the material used to make it. Cotton and mesh panama hats are more casual while straw hats may be fancy enough to wear to dressy events. You may want to have a few panama hats on your hat rack that coordinate with different outfits.
What Other Ways Can I Protect Myself From The Sun?
While panama hats are a great option for protecting yourself from the sun, there are other things you should do to keep your skin safe. Applying sunscreen with a high SPF to any exposed areas, wearing long-sleeved but lightweight clothing, and staying in the shade whenever possible are three other ways to protect yourself from the sun.
You'll find dozens of stylish panama hats on our website that are perfect to wear all summer long and for any occasion. From straw to cotton felt, all of the materials used to make our panama hats are high-quality and built-to-last. Stay cool this summer with the hottest accessory around- a panama hat.

What Is A Flip-Flop?
A flip-flop is actually a type of sandal. They are typically an open-heeled shoe with a y-shaped thong between the first and second toe. They can also have a strap across the top of the foot, although these are generally referred to as sliders.
Where Did They Come From?
Flip-flops actually originated in Japan, where they were worn frequently as footwear. World War II soldiers brought them to the United States after the war, but this comfortable and casual sandal didn't really become popular until the 1960s. They are favored by women, but men also love to keep their feet cool with this stylish footwear option.
Are They Named After The Sound They Make?
Flip-flops make a distinctive sound when you walk, which is exactly where the name flip-flop comes from. It's known as an onomatopoeia, which is a word that's created that imitates the sound the word describes. Wearing flip-flops are not only stylish and comfortable, they're also fun to wear simply by the sound they make when you walk. They may not be the best choice if you're trying to walk quietly, however.
Can You Still Wear Them In The Winter?
If you live in a warmer climate, you may wear flip-flops all year long. Colder climates, like the northeast, may require something a bit warmer- like socks and boots. You don't want to end up with cold, frozen toes. Still, some people in colder climates insist on wearing flip-flops long into the fall and winter, no matter how cold their toes may get. Some even wear socks with flip-flops, although this may be considered a fashion faux paus by many.
Where Can I Find Flip-Flops?
You can find some of the coolest flip-flops on the planet right here on our website. From strappy to casual to fluffy, we've got all the flip-flops you need to get you ready for spring and summer. Stock up so you're ready as soon as that warm weather hits.

A Long History
The choker necklace is believed to date back to the 1500s when Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England, was seen wearing a choker necklace made of pearls with the letter "B" on it in a famous painting.
Some historians believe the choker necklace because more popular in the late 1700s during the French Revolution when French women wore red ribbons around their neck in honor of those who had been killed by the guillotine.
Every decade since has seen the choker transformed a bit, from beaded chokers in the 1920s to stretchy, plastic chokers often referred to as the "tattoo" choker in the 1990s. Even now, in 2020, celebrities like Kristin Cavallari and Kim Kardashian are big fans of this tight-fitting necklace.
Dressing It Up
Chokers are often thought of as a casual style of necklace, but it's a style that has often graced the necks of celebrities at red carpet events. These fancy chokers are usually made of jewels like diamonds and rubies and are sometimes worth millions of dollars.
Dressing It Down
A simple leather choker or thin choker made of a precious metal like gold or silver is the perfect accessory to a casual outfit like jeans and a flannel shirt or slacks and a blouse.
Chokers can also have pendants hanging from them, with or without jewels. A popular style is a choker with a letter on it, such as the one worn by Anne Boleyn. It may be the first or last letter of your name, your children's names, or a letter that holds another special meaning to you.
Adding Chokers To Your Jewelry Collection
Once you start wearing chokers, you'll quickly fall in love with this type of necklace. You can wear them individually or layer multiple chokers at once.
Whether you're looking for something fancy or something simple, chokers are a go-to piece of jewelry that is a must-have for any jewelry collection. You'll find several great options on our website.

Mini Dress
The mini dress is one that hits above the knee, and may go as high as above the thigh. It's sexy and flirty, making it the perfect date-night dress or dress to wear for an evening out on the town.
How-To Style It: Pair a mini dress with a pair of stilettos to amp up the sexiness, or tone it down a bit with a pair of flats for the perfect mix of sweet and spicy.
Midi Dress
A midi dress falls somewhere near the mid-calf, but a general range is between the knee and the ankle. It's an ideal dress for wearing to work, church, or for an afternoon of shopping with friends. Midi dresses are a big fashion trend this season, so you'll be seeing them popping up at many of your favorite retailers.
How-To Style It: The midi dress lends a bit of 1920s vibes, so it works great paired with a traditional pointed-toe shoe with a demure heel. It looks equally great when worn with a wedge sandal or ballet flats.
Maxi Dress
The maxi dress is longer than the previous two dresses and falls somewhere around the ankle. It's ideal for those chillier summer days and can be worn anywhere from work to a wedding if the material is formal enough. Due to their length, if you're 5'4" or shorter you should purchase a petite size so you don't trip over the hem.
How-To Style It: You want to be careful when wearing heels with a maxi dress, especially if it's on the long side. A long hem can cause you to trip. The best shoes to wear with a maxi dress are gladiator sandals. They provide stability, but also look great peeking out from underneath the dress when you walk.
You'll find all of these dress styles, plus the coordinating shoe options, on our website.

Know When To Wear It
Sneakers with a business suit may not be appropriate in all settings. For instance, if you work in a very professional office setting or are attending a black tie event, you may want to opt for something a bit more formal. Sneakers with a business suit are an excellent option for a fun dinner out with friends, a casual date night, or an event that doesn't specifically state "black tie attire required". If you have to wonder if sneakers are a good choice, stay on the safe side and go with a more formal shoe selection.
Socks Or No Socks
Although tube socks have been making a comeback, you might want to stick with no-show socks or no socks at all when rocking the business suit and sneakers combo. Showing off a little bit of ankle is actually a good thing when wearing a business suit with sneakers. That's why many opt for a slim-fitting or pencil-legged trouser so they can really show off the look of the sneaker. If you're wearing a wide-leg or longer pant, you may want to stick with high heels or boots on your feet as the sneakers won't be visible underneath the pants.
What Kind Of Sneakers Can I Wear?
You can really wear any type of sneakers you want to with a business suit, but some look better together than others. A straight-legged pant suit looks great with a pair of skater shoes while a pencil-legged trouser is elevated when worn with high tops or basketball sneakers. Whatever you feel comfortable in is what's most important.
We have both business suits and sneakers on our website that are perfect for pulling off this awesome new look. Think outside of the box and go for this unique combination the next time you're searching for a fun and exciting outfit. You might even become a fashion trendsetter among your friends.

The Difference Between Gradient Sunglasses And Regular Sunglasses
Traditional sunglasses have solid tinted lenses that protect the eyes completely from the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. By blocking out the sun completely you're able to see better in even the brightest conditions. These are beneficial for when you're outside and exposed to direct sunlight in large quantities.
Gradient sunglasses are tinted darkest at the top of the lenses, with the tint shade getting lighter as it progresses down to the bottom of the lenses. These are great for driving because the darker top blocks the sunlight and glare so you can clearly see the road while the lighter tint at the bottom allows you to see the dashboard better.
What Tint Colors Are Best
The darker the tint color, the more sun rays will be blocked out. For instance, black, gray, brown, or purple tint will keep the eyes protected most and reduce sun glare significantly. Lighter tint colors, such as pink, orange, and yellow, are more for fashion than for eye protection. More of the sun's rays can enter through lighter tinted lenses, potentially leaving your eyes at risk.
Shapes That Provide The Most Protection
Sunglasses come in all shapes and sizes, but when it comes to protecting your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, bigger is better. Aviator glasses or oversized glasses offer the most coverage for the eyes. While different shapes like hearts and cat-eyes may look cool, they also may not provide enough coverage for the eyes to completely protect them from the sun. These types of sunglasses should only be used for fashion purposes.
Where Can I Find Gradient Sunglasses?
You can find gradient sunglasses right here on our website. We have a large selection of various sizes, shapes, and tint colors. Each pair of gradient sunglasses are made with your eyes in mind with a large focus on fashion but an equally large focus on blocking out harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun.

Washing And Drying
You must use the right detergent and wash method to keep your button-down shirts looking their absolute best.
1. Undo all buttons, including around the cuffs, before placing in the washing machine.
2. Pre-treat any stubborn stains with a stain remover for at least 20 minutes. Some stains may require the stain remover to sit overnight.
3. Use cold water on the gentle cycle to wash your button-down shirts. A bleach-free detergent is best for button-down shirts.
4. It's not recommended to put button-down shirts in the dryer because they lose their shape. Instead, shake the shirts out when you pull them from the washer and smooth out any wrinkles, then place on a wooden or plastic hanger to dry.
Ironing
A crisp, ironed button-down shirt looks professional and helps you feel your best at work and formal events. Use this method when ironing button-down shirts.
1. Place the shirt flat on an ironing board with the outside of the shirt facing up.
2. Spray starch on the shirt if you prefer a really crisp shirt.
3. Start at the collar and iron down towards the bottom of the shirt, taking care to avoid melting any buttons.
4. Iron the sleeves by starting at shoulder and working your way down to the cuffs, using the sleeve's seam as a guide to create a nice pleat.
5. Finish with the cuffs by opening it up completely and ironing both sides, taking care to avoid any buttons.
Storing
Shirts that are worn frequently should be hung on a solid hanger, preferably made from wood or plastic. Wire hangers are not recommended because they can ruin the shape of the shirt.
Shirts that aren't worn as often should be stored in a breathable garment bag to avoid fading and discoloration, in addition to harmful moth larvae.
Now that you know how to properly care for your button-down shirts, take a peek at the wonderful selection we have on our website.

2. Wallet
While you're buying that handbag, why not purchase a matching wallet to go with it?

Leather can crack, fade, and even shrink if it becomes exposed to moisture, so keeping it dry is the first step to keeping it looking brand new. Avoid wearing it when it's raining or snowing, and if you must, be sure to wipe it with a cloth as soon as you get inside and then hang it to dry.
Tossing your jacket on a chair can lead to creases and cracks in the leather. It must be stored properly when you aren't wearing it to avoid these problems. Hang it on a wooden or plastic hanger with padding, if possible. Wire hangers can disfigure the shoulder area of the jacket, so avoid those whenever possible. Always hang your jacket- never fold it- as this is the most common way for cracks and creases to occur.
Heat can cause leather to crack and fade, so avoid it the same way you avoid moisture. Never put it in the dryer or near a heat vent, and avoid wearing it when it's very hot outside. Also, try not to expose it to bright sunlight as this can make the leather fade faster. If the leather becomes cracked or wrinkled, don't iron it. An iron will burn the leather and ruin the jacket.
Leather jackets need to be cleaned sometimes, just like other jacket materials do. The process of cleaning leather looks a bit different, though. You can purchase leather cleaners and do it at home, but if you are unsure how to clean it, it's best to take it to a professional cleaner. Conditioning is easy to do at home and just involves rubbing a leather conditioner into the leather periodically.
Now that you know how to care for your leather jacket, it's time to go buy one! We have many great leather jackets on our website that will look awesome on you this fall and winter. Go check them out!

1. Their thick soles protect your feet from sharp objects.
There are many rocks, shells, and other sharp objects found in the water and on the beach. Walking barefoot on any of these surfaces can lead to cuts, bruises, and very sore feet. Water shoes have a thick sole that protects the bottom of the foot, virtually eliminating the chance of ending up with any cuts or bruises after a day on the water.
2. They provide traction on slipper surfaces.
Whenever there's water involved, things can get slippery. Slips and falls near hard objects like rocks, or near the water, can lead to dangerous situations very quickly. Most water shoes have a rubber outsole which provides traction on slippery surfaces. While they aren't going to be completely slip-proof, they are going to keep you much safer than your bare feet, socks, or shoes without rubber soles will.
3. They dry fast.
Wet feet can leave you feeling very uncomfortable, and even cause conditions like athlete's foot. Wearing water shoes made from lightweight, breathable materials that dry quickly will help prevent this from happening. Most water shoes are made from mesh, lycra, and other stretchy materials that dry quickly in the sun. They will dry quicker if they are not being worn, but they still dry faster than other shoes like running sneakers and hiking boots even when they are worn on the feet.
4. They're insulated and keep feet warm in cold water.
Even on the hottest days, water temperatures can still be chilly if your feet are submerged for long periods of time. The protective layer of water shoes keeps the feet warm and insulated while they are in the water.
We have several styles of water shoes available on our website. They are made from materials that are quick-drying and safe on slippery surfaces. Many also feature non-marking soles so you can feel comfortable wearing them anywhere, even on a fancy boat. Keep your feet protected with water shoes this summer.

Is it acceptable to wear real leather?
This really depends on your personal beliefs and preferences. Real leather is made from animal skin, with the most common being cow hide. Sometimes, the skin of a buffalo, goat, or other animal may be used.
If you're vegan, or simply don't agree with animals being used for clothing purposes, there are fake leather options available. These are made from synthetic materials like polyurethane or polyester. While it doesn't hold up as well as leather, it is much more animal-friendly.
What are the different skirt options?
The most common skirt options are a pencil skirt, mini skirt, pleated skirt, and A-line skirt. Pencil skirts hug the body and end either at or below the knee. Mini skirts can either be form-fitting or loose and can hit anywhere from right below the buttocks to mid-thigh. Pleated skirts can be any length or fit, but have excess fabric that is draped over top of each other to form pleats. A-line skirts present an "A" shape, with it fitting tighter at the waist and hips and flaring out slowly towards the bottom.
What shirt can you wear with a leather skirt?
You can really wear any type of shirt you want. Button downs, blouses, camisoles, even graphic cotton tees look great with leather skirts. Mix it up, depending on the level of professionalism you're looking for. By pairing the skirt with multiple shirts, you get more than one outfit out of the same piece of clothing. That's a win-win in our book!
How do you care for a leather skirt?
Not all leather is machine-washable, and almost none of it can be placed in the dryer. Most of it can be hand washed with a mild detergent, then laid flat to dry. If you must use a machine, use mild detergent with cold water and place it on the gentlest setting.
We have several leather skirts on our website that will have you on-trend at the office and beyond. Check them out- you're sure to love them.

What is a wooden bow tie?
Wooden bow ties are crafted from a variety of different woods, including mahogany, walnut, bamboo, plywood, and even cork. The harder the wood, the more sturdy the bow tie will be. The wood is cut into a bow tie shape and then connected to a piece of fabric which helps keep the bow tie in place.
What are the most common wooden bow tie shapes?
Much like regular fabric bow ties, wooden bow ties come in several different shapes and sizes. The most common shape is the butterfly. This features triangular shapes on either end that are wider than the center of the bow tie, thus giving it a butterfly appearance. Other common shapes include the bat wing, diamond point, and club round.
How do you care for a wooden bow tie?
Since they're made from wood, these bow ties can't go in the washing machine or be submerged in water like fabric bow ties can. Given their material, they are even easier to clean. If the wooden part of the bow tie gets dirty, it can simply be wiped clean with a damp, soapy towel and allowed to air dry. If the fabric portion of the bow tie gets dirty, it can be hand washed in warm, soapy water and allowed to air dry- just be sure to avoid getting the wooden portion of the bow tie wet.
What type of suit looks best with a wooden bow tie?
Any suit goes with a wooden bow tie, even formal tuxedos. You can also wear a wooden bow tie without a blazer as it looks just as great with a basic button down shirt. More elegant woods, like mahogany, will look best with formal suits. Softer woods like plywood and cork would go best with a casual ensemble.
We have several wooden bow ties on our website that will coordinate with a variety of suits. You're sure to stand out at any summer wedding you attend.
