But the things closest to your body, the foundation of how you actually feel in your own clothes, start before any of that.

That's the part of getting dressed that's just for you.

Building skims around that idea is one of the things that I am most proud of.

And everyday cotton, our newest Intimates fabric, is that thinking in its simplest form.

It's made from soft, breathable cotton with real structure built in.

So it actually performs the way you need it to, without the trade-offs that most cotton Intimates ask you to make.

The triangle bar is the piece I keep coming back to.

Paired with the hipster, it disappears under whatever you're wearing.

No adjusting, no thinking about it.

That's just the standard we hold our pieces to.

The intimates you have on shouldn't ask for your attention.

They should just work.

There's a particular kind of pressure that comes with summer that nobody really talks about.

The pressure to make the most of it, to say yes to every trip, every dinner, every long weekend, every gathering, to not waste a single sunny day.

And by mid-July, a lot of people are running on fumes, wondering why a season that's supposed to feel good actually feels exhausting.

Some of the most useful work I've seen people do is around their own boundaries, understanding what they actually want from a season versus what they think they're supposed to want.
