Sweats Don't Have To Be Boring
A really good designer knows how to blend the creature comforts we like with high style and design. That's the hallmark of a design group called Artsym out of Paris. Every collection features unique harlequin-like weaving, full gussets, ample easing, and the occasional commentary on fashion's elitist attitude. However what they're know for is the use of cotton - specifically combed stretch cotton, a.k.a sweats.
I find it inspiring to see such creative forms and shapes out of a "worker's material", and none of it is so off the wall that the regular conformist guy couldn't wear. Comfort and style, I love it. Browse and shop it at Le Bouclard.

You Do Funny Stuff In A Bathrobe
I know I do. For some reason I'm totally giddy and happy after a hot shower or a long bath. It makes me wanna sing, dance, prance, and if you're so inclined, pirouette in this very matrix-y bathrobe. The pattern is based on the movement of dancing Dervishes - you know those skirt wearing dancers that effortless spin like tops while staying perfectly centered. When you spin in this bathrobe, you get the same effect. The collar is one large, rolled-up bath towel. The sleeves are oversized so you can double back them. The result is a dashing, hussar-like appearance.
Now if you get your partner one, the both of you can reenact the great battle scene between Neo and Agent Smith.
