Suiting Up | Step 1, the cotton tank

Firstly, I am not a fashion designer. I chose cotton tanks because I love wearing them. So, for their functionality, essentialness (to me), their simplicity. And for the cotton.

I love the softness and breathability of cotton. I love that we grow cotton right here in the United States, and have been since our inception. Certainly, cotton's history is storied but it's ours, and we should own it (literally). We should make something beautiful, basic and fun, together.

I love tanks for the freedom they represent. Rather than beginning with weighty corsets and petticoats or even stiff whale bones, we today (and I in particular) can simply put on a tank.

What makes tanks different than say t-shirts is the way they fit - minimal, snug and feminine - close to our skin. Not an outer garment, they are intended to keep us warm and cozy. Tanks are an intimate first layer, providing comfort and support, like a warm hug.

All of this is why I started She Threds, to share something I love, something that matters to me, with you.

So that...YOU can suit up and step out confidently and boldly to live your best life, every day.
