🧶 Calm Through Texture – Dressing with Fabrics that Soothe (June 2024)

Hey loves,

Sometimes it’s not about what we wear, but how it feels. Texture has a powerful way of adding calm, depth, and personality to your outfits without overwhelming them. In The Year of Calm, we’re slowing down to notice the fabrics that bring us comfort, ease, and a little everyday luxury.

🌸 Why Texture Matters

It adds interest without chaos — no need for bold prints.
It influences mood: cozy, light, or grounded.
It makes your wardrobe more versatile and layered.

🌿 Calm Textures to Embrace

Soft Knits

Think cozy sweaters, ribbed tops, and oversized cardigans. Perfect for that “wrapped in a hug” feeling.

Crisp Cottons & Linens

Breathable, lightweight, and ideal for warmer days. They bring a sense of freshness and ease.

Smooth Silks & Satins

Add a touch of calm elegance with fluid fabrics that move with you.

Earthy Corduroy & Wools

Grounding, warm, and timeless. Ideal for cooler evenings or transitional weather.

Faux Fur & Sherpa

Soft to the touch, comforting, and a cozy accent in accessories or outerwear.
