I don’t know about you, but I am not letting the difficulty of my day-to-day get me down, but projecting forward knowing that every day spent at home in lockdown is a day closer to getting back out there!
Despite everything, we are in a unique position to continue to do quite a bit here at J.Hilburn. We may not be able to take care of your kids, walk your dogs or wash the car, but we can certainly help you look your very best whilst you are facing the crazy new normal of being on lockdown at home. We can help you get through a week of screen-time meetings, looking great while walking the dog, washing the car, or spending time with your kids. We offer a truly amazing service, well beyond getting you into beautiful custom-made clothing. We help you build confidence, feeling good about yourself, and as our stylists know, we are truly in the “feel-good” business.
Did you know?
Our selection of pant styles (Chinos, 5-Pockets, and Shorts) are not only a great option for the workplace, but also our “new” WFH workplace. Especially when paired with our advanced performance fabrics. This fabric is really incredible and when I came to J.Hilburn, I felt it was a hidden gem mostly relegated to the golf course. It is on a par, if not better, than some of the “tech pants” that are out there and this summer season, I wanted to showcase it more universally across the collection and show how it can be integrated effortlessly into looks.
If you haven’t taken advantage of this pairing yet – it’s a great way to introduce a new item to your wardrobe that you’ll appreciate as we all navigate our new normal of staying home.
Made from an advanced technical polyester, our performance fabric offers many benefits when made in a pant. Lightweight, stretch, water-resistant and super easy to wear. Many of us at the Home Office have adopted this pant into our wardrobes, and we think everyone should have the opportunity to realize what we all love about this fabric and style.
Styling is easy – you most likely have a preference for Chinos or 5-Pockets. Start with the pant style you wear the most and then look at colors. Naturally, a tone of navy or taupe is easiest to start with; however, grey and black also add nice options as well. Or white if you are more daring.
Either way you choose, also consider the performance Short. This fabric makes a great style that you can wear all Summer long no matter what you are doing. It’s kind of our go-to short fabric these days.
Why should I try this fabric?
Our new WFH reality has us all thinking about what we can comfortably wear while “working from home.” That’s the beauty of this fabric – it offers something new that you can wear now and enjoy as we transition out of this into our normal lives. We’ve included some looks below that work for WFH style as well as business casual for the future.
WFH Blues
Shades of blue always seem to work well – especially when you can comfortably work from home in a Pacific Blue Performance Jersey Polo and Navy Performance 5-Pockets, then simply add a summer sportcoat and Italian leather bag for future travel plans.
WFH Neutrals
Two versions depending on your preference. Neutral shades of grey are easy to wear with the Grey Performance 5-Pocket and super soft Brezza Melange Sportshirt for today’s reality – then add a cool wool jacket and Italian leather bag for business meetings in the (hopefully) near future. Or step it up with the White Performance Chino for a fresh new look.
WFH Earth Tones
For something (and someone) looking for a look that is a bit different from the easy blues and neutrals – try summer earth tones paired back to a safe taupe performance pant. The rust performance polo is a WFH staple when worn with the Taupe Performance 5-Pocket, then add a refined wool/linen/silk blend blazer for a future night out – hopefully sooner rather than later.
Our versatile and sophisticated performance fabrics have a true allure this season. Clean-cut and contemporary silhouettes, stripped down to the essentials. In a wide range of styles and custom fit we are here to help you the perfect pair for you.
