When you feel like all you have left in your closet are blasé clothing options, go for the elongated tee. I have always had reservations about wearing elongated tees. While they dominated runways during the spring/ summer 2016 seasons, my main fear in trying the look was that it would make me look 3 feet shorter then I was. However there is something about the look I’m really attracted to.

We have reached that sad time of year when all of our fun and breezy summer looks have to be packed away under our beds or in the very deep depths of our closet until the first flowers of spring start to bloom. While putting most of my summer looks away this passed weekend, I stopped and got nostalgic on a couple of pairs of shorts. I realized my love affair with shorts runs deep, and I can't bear to pack 'em away along with everything else. It’s sad enough seeing the crop tops go.

I have been in Paris for a solid day now and have realized two things. First, the French are better at almost everything , and second, how to raise your sweatshirt game by people watching at a café on Rue Montorgueil. Sweatshirts are to fall what swim trunks are to summer: the one article of clothing that just feels so right you never want to take off and dream of a day you can wear it to work. Well, I am here to be your sweatshirt fairy godmother of sorts today and tell you just how to do that.
