Caring for your INHABIT knitwear

Posted on July 6th, 2010

With our classic styles and great layering ability, it’s easy to fall in love with INHABIT knitwear. We hope you want to wear our pieces every day, so here’s a few tips for keeping your INHABIT sweaters looking like new.

1. Treat spots and stains as quickly as possible to avoid permanent damage. Cotton INHABIT knits can be safely washed by hand in a sink with mild detergent.

2. Be cautious with accessories! Many handbags and jewelry pieces have hardware and other adornments that can snag and rub your INHABIT knitwear.

3. Always fold and store your INHABIT sweaters in drawers. Hangers can cause stretching and leave your knits vulnerable to insects.

4. Guard your INHABIT when styling your hair! Products may leave residue and hairbrushes and combs can catch fabrics and cause snags.

5. Perfume can stain light colors, especially when sprayed directly, so be careful spritzing while wearing your INHABIT sweaters.

Follow these helpful hints and your INHABIT sweaters will keep you looking stylish for years to come!

White Done Right

Posted on June 23rd, 2010

The official mark of summer has arrived, and with temperatures soaring, INHABIT would like to show some love for the most classically chic summer color: white. Here are a few reasons why white should be your go-to color of the season.

Contrary to the belief that white has an expansive quality on your figure, wearing white in a monochromatic look creates a slimming and lengthening effect.

By limiting your palette to one color, you will draw attention to texture, a quality often overlooked by most, but never by INHABIT.

And what better way to show off your newly bronzed skin than by wearing stark white?

Try our zip-up cardigan or cotton/linen longsleeve v-neck for an easy way to incorporate whites into your summer wardrobe.

For extra credit, post a photo on our Facebook wall before July 26 of you wearing your best INHABIT summer whites – we will choose our favorite look and feature it on  The INHABIT Thread!

INHABIT on Vacation

Posted on June 10th, 2010

Take a vacation from your business attire and slip into INHABIT knits for casual luxury beyond comparison. Whether you’re jet-setting to Madrid for a month or Waikiki for the week, be sure to pack your favorite INHABIT essentials along with your toothbrush and sunscreen.

Our classic silhouettes go anywhere and are tailored to flatter all sizes and shapes. Show off your sun-kissed skin in our Essential Cotton Tank and add our Cotton/Linen Button Down Cardigan for a perfect lightweight beach cover-up that effortlessly transitions into sophisticated summer layers for evening.

If you’re taking to the high seas this summer, we suggest the Hooded Chunky Pointelle Cardigan to help guard your tresses from the salty air. Not only will these must-haves save you souvenir space in your suitcase, they will easily become year-round layering staples.

Spring is a State of Mind

Posted on February 16th, 2010

As the US Olympic teams heads up to Vancouver for the Winter Games and the eastern seaboard does its best impersonation of the North Pole, it’s hard to imagine that we have spring on the mind, but it’s true.  Even though our cars are all covered with ice and you need a dog drawn sled to get around, we’re thinking about long walks in the park and budding flowers.  The reason for this sunny outlook is that our new Spring Collection has arrived.

This new collection is all about natural shades, deep v-necks, and elegant transparency.  Some of our favorite examples of these themes are the effortlessly chic and versatile INHABIT cotton/cashmere chainette poncho and the INHABIT men’s cotton/cashmere chainette hoodie, a timeless classic in the making. So if the cold winter storms have got you in a funk, we encourage you to browse our Spring Collection and bring a bit of warmth into your life.

Andy’s Holiday Wish List

Posted on December 9th, 2009

When it comes to holiday gifts, they say you should try to give someone something that they want or need, but would never get for themselves. For men, this more often than not means clothes. Most guys rarely see the need to go shopping.  They view it as a chore that they begrudgingly do just because their favorite shirt is starting to resemble swiss cheese.  What’s funny is that these same men, who are perfectly content wearing something until it all but evaporates into thin air, still love great clothes (though they may never admit it). While they might think they want that new putter they saw on TV, they’ll use and (secretly) cherish a beautiful cashmere sweater a whole lot more.

It is for this reason that INHABIT knitwear is the perfect gift to get for your man this holiday season.  Not only is it something he probably needs and will likely never buy for himself, but the timeless, classic look of INHABIT knitwear means it is something that will remain stylish and appropriate until long after the next time you buy him something.  My recommendations are the INHABIT Classic Cardigan, the INHABIT Mens Classic Cashmere Crew and the INHABIT Cotton Thermal Henley, but that’s just my opinion.  Go ahead and browse the Gifts for Him section in the INHABIT Holiday Gift Guide, to see which styles your man will quietly be obsessed with.
