“Every day brings new choices.”
Martha Beck, b. 1962

Traveling Ohm

Mint Main - 7 months ago - Kathryn Lovell

“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money.  Then take half the clothes and twice the money.“
Susan Heller, b. 1940

Once upon a time, gym clothes were things you hoped no one would see you in. Thanks to improvements in fabric and fit, exercise clothes today are flattering and fashionable. And, since they’re comfy and wrinkle resistant, they also make great travel clothes. Here’s three pieces you can hit the gym or the road in.

Surf & Turf

The neckline is dressy enough for touring and the fabric is rugged enough hiking.

Town & Country
