'Fran Leibowitz once said she would rather see someone coming toward her with a hand grenade rather than see a man in shorts, and it took me a long time to come around to the idea that shorts could be both functional and still look fresh'
Photo-Illustration: Retailers If you follow our monthly Strategist Haul, you’re familiar with the idiosyncrasies of our editors’ and writers’ shopping habits. While we think of those as the highlights, there are plenty of other, less glamorous things we buy — and love — on the regular too. So whether you’ve wondered about the work bags we tote around or the underwear we’re most loyal to, this is the Stuff We Buy Ourselves.
$84 at REI Buy Amazon Brand Core 10 Women’s ‘Build Your Own’ Yoga Pant Full-Length Legging From $48 From $48 When I’m not wearing the Vuori joggers, I’ve been getting a lot of use out of these Core 10 leggings from Amazon . Interestingly, they weren’t my go-to weekend leggings before we started social distancing, because I thought they were a bit stiff for lounging.
$69 at Urban Outfitters Buy Syracuse Arc Tie Dye T-Shirt $20 $20 If you went to Syracuse University and joined Greek life, chances are you also marched down to Manny’s on Marshall Street and bought this T-shirt. I got it oversized to wear for tailgates , but now I wear it with Nike Spandex when I’m watching movies in bed all day because it keeps me from overheating .
Jessica Silvester, contributing editor Vuori Ponto Performance Crew Pullover $98 Before quarantine, my husband Dan’s “loungewear” consisted of Nike Dri-FIT and Amazon Essentials. But then the current circumstances inspired him to invest in a pair of Vuori shorts, after being tipped off by a friend who discovered them on sale at a hotel gym in L.A. . Addiction ensued — sweatpants, tees, pullovers; he couldn’t get enough of the peach-skin-soft fabrics and salt-air-tinged colors.
HVN Tarzan Leopard Print Henri Nightie $175 There’s been a couple of superhot days when putting on pants is simply not an option . So when it’s uncomfortably humid out, I’ve been wearing thin, silky, cooling night gowns around the house. I have a couple negligees in my rotation, but my favorite are from Shop Suki, an online vintage store, and my sister’s brand HVN.
$25 at H&M Buy Target Stars Above Pants $20 These are probably the softest pants I’ve ever worn, and that isn’t an exaggeration. They’re cozy but not overly warm, which has been nice as it’s gotten slightly hotter but not hot enough to transition to full-on shorts. The best part is that they’re super-stretchy, which is nice for moving from bed to couch and back to bed again.
$48 at Nike Buy $60 at Dick's Sporting Goods Buy Jambys, Gray and Lavender $35 $35 I never wear shorts, but months before quarantine started, a few pairs of Jambys were sent to the office for us to try and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one. Right out of the package, they’re supersoft and somehow feel even better on. Seriously, I could wear them for days.
