Dress to impress?

Everyday apparel can be a very complex and meticulous situation when it comes to the HiLoian. HiLoians will go to lengths in making their everyday wardrobe look as if they shopped at a thirft store tucked far away in the the mountains of Telluride, Co. To successfully achieve this look, the HiLoian must have a sharp eye when shopping. Shopping at Anthropologie is an easy way out, and the cleverest of HiLoian's can sense this coming a mile away. However wearing United Colors of Benetton can be a powerful move. Known for their provocative publicity campaign, Benetton is a sure way to score high marks with fellow HiLoians.

There are 3 essential categories in selecting the perfect HiLoian wardrobe: color, comfort and vintage. With other categories like active outdoor wear and ironic t-shirts, though not as important as the top 3, serve a very important purpose to the HiLioan wardrobe.

The hues that make up a typical "organic cotton" wardrobe are pale and muted colors. Heather (interwoven yarns of mixed colors producing muted greyish shades with flecks of color) is also a very intelligent move in acquiring the HiLoian color.

Comfort is a very important factor in selecting your clothing. Yoga gear is one of the top selections for comfort clothing. Not only does a vast majority of the HiLoian women attend Yoga classes, the right yoga outfit can score you high points within the community. If you're walking to the local farmers market or just walking the park with your bottle of Smart Water, comfort clothing is one of the essential steps to take in selecting your wardrobe.

Vintage wear is a fan fav to the HiLoian! There's a wide spectrum of vintage gear that can turn any hip, HiLoian's head. Anything from shawls, Cashmere sweaters, scarfs,(scarfs are a HUGE winner in the HiLoians eyes, but we will save that one for a future Hiloism.) denim, blazers and shoes, just to name a few. It's very important in shopping at the correct type of "vintage store". Do not attempt on getting your vintage wear at the Goodwill, instead try more of an overpriced upscale selection like Decade.
