On the Hunt: Comfy, but not Frumpy Sweatshirts

Through my time in college I had never gone out of my way to purchase sweatshirts, or any athletic clothing for that matter. Years of playing on multiple soccer teams, swimming and running track (as well as attempts at lacrosse, tennis, basketball and diving) had left me with a closet full of hoodies, warm-up pants and enough t-shirts to fill a goodwill.

Now that I am done with college, wearing those reminders of my once illustrious athletic career, feels awkward. I've slowly started to replace some of the oversized athletic garb haunting my closet, with grown-up and more fashionable sweatshirts that actually fit!

On the Hunt: Get Down

Its freezing out! If you haven't purchased a winter jacket yet its not too late. There are still many styles available and most of them are on sale! Here are a few things to look for when buying a down coat:


  • Not all puffy coats have down fill. Make sure you check the tag to ensure the coat's fill is down feathers or waterfowl, not polyester or other materials.
  • The higher the loft, the warmer the down. The British website, Gear-Zone , has a great guide to understanding the different types of down.
  • Make sure the jacket has water resistant properties. Down is warm when it is dry, but as soon as it gets wet it is not longer effective as an insulator.
