#and also especially if their school or workplace is somewhere more isolated

[dailymanners]

If you give someone a ride home, or walk someone home, don't leave or drive away until you see them get inside and close the door behind them. Make sure you see to it that they get fully get inside safely before you leave.

This also applies to temporary residences, such as a hotel, airbnb, dormitories, ect.

Seeing to it that they fully make it inside safely isn't just about fear of something as drastic as an assault or a mugging. It would also be awfully annoying and stressful for them if they lost their key, and before realizing they're locked out their ride or walking companion has already sped off, so now they're stuck outside alone with nowhere else to go, and possibly a dead phone (when it rains it pours). Or maybe there's dangerous fauna in the area. Or maybe the neighbor's poorly trained dog with aggression issues is loose. Or maybe they slip and hurt themselves while walking to the door.

Even if you're absolutely positive they'll make it to the door safely, it's still a kind and thoughtful gesture to let them know that you care enough about their safety to see to it that they make it inside safely.

Too Grown

Do you know what adulthood has taught me, especially with my endless search for leisure in all aspects of my life: any way I can make my life easier, more enjoyable and just a breath of fresh air, I'll do it.

I feel like I've known this for a while, but it really dawned on me today when I received my new makeup brushes.

I was the girl who did her own acrylics in college, did her own sew-ins and washed my make-up brushes - by hand. But I'm tired. And I personally feel like anything that takes up my time that can be fixed by buying a replacement or receiving services should be done, expeditiously. I go to the nail and hair salon, religiously. I maintain my nails and hair, personally. At night, I use cuticle oil on my fingers to keep them fresh, and I can maintain my hair beautifully.

That's what leisure means to me. Finding ways to make my life easier. That's something our mother's didn't do. I remember taking my time to do my hair and makeup to go somewhere or using an entire weekend for personal maintenance and women (both in and out of my family) would make comments like "wait until you have kids" or "your job isn't demanding", etc.

Please remove yourself from my presence.

I was a whole commissioned officer in the United Staes army, running not only a section but my own platoon; I am a busy body by nature. But I have always made the time to take care of myself.

I think the issue is most women don't take into account that their personal time (for maintenance mostly) should be billed into their schedule the same way doctors bill patients in their operating rooms.

Now, especially on the cusp of getting married and turning 27 (God-willing), my time is not only precious - it's expensive. I am a full time student, fit and fine girl, doggy mom, and glamorous. I wake up early to start my day with coffee and morning Bible reading, I go to the gym for about two and a half hours (one mile run for a warm up, 25-35 minute weightlifting session, 10-15 minute abdominal workout, two mile walk, and ten minutes in the sauna), I go home and clean and do any meal-prep extras for my fiancé, shower, and then I spend three to four hours studying and doing classwork. My time is again precious and expensive. With that being said, I isolate my workouts and school work to be between Monday and Friday. I use my Weekends for waxes, hair and nail appointments, along with meal-prep and time with my man.

I'm also glad that I never let anyone deter me from what I felt made sense to me. Now that I know this is me, I know, God-willing, when my fiancé and I get married and have kids, we'll still make the time and accommodations to not only be able to take care of our children, but take care of ourselves - and why?

Because we ain't new to this we true this!

Now that I have established that I'm grown af, ladies, especially if you're single and in your twenties, this is the best time to reinvent and create the best version of yourself. These are the years that will curate the habits we take into our marriages, into motherhood, in the workplace, into our thirties and later years.

Understanding and truly believing that your time is not only precious, but expensive will also help you keep rift raft out of your personal life.

I love y'all!

Eat healthy, drink water, workout, smell good, do your make-up and hair, and make 2025 your year.

With love,

Sarah Chanel

Ok, Son's at school. I didn't realize they're getting out early on Thursday instead of on Friday, so I have a lot less alone time before another long holiday break than I thought.

Ugh. I do honestly like spending time with my Son, but not the noise videos he likes. They hurt. He's good about understanding when I can't take it anymore, though, and will either go in another room or is comfortable with me going down to the basement for a while.

I think maybe we'll listen to some of those records that I found unbearable together over the holiday. I think Son might like those, and while I don't like them, it doesn't mean he's not allowed to.

Still need to get a record cleaning kit.

-

That Guy is pushing both Son and me to get jobs somewhere in town without cars. I'm like, how we get to work????

He usually yells at me that I'm making excuses, then yesterday in the car yelled that he'd drive us, and had already said that.

He never said that.

He said he'd get Son a car once Son got his license, and then Son could take himself to work, and every time I mention how would I get to work he's said I'm making excuses and also said that I'd get the job first and then we'd figure out transportation which is illogical.

Not once did he say he intended to personally drive us to work, at least not until yesterday.

I don't think he means that anyway.

How's he going to do that? He leaves for work at 5 am, and if I don't start until like 9am to 6pm because I'd have to work full time to qualify for insurance which is what this is all about, I mean, I'm not sitting around my workplace for an extra 4-5 hours before my shift especially if I happen to find an office job and the office is closed until work time. That's just not possible in the winter.

Then he has to be home in time to drive Son to work after school but if he's not getting to work himself until 9 or 10 am because he has to drive me, then he's not getting home until 7 or 8 because it's a long commute (1 hr 15 minutes one way) to HIS work, and Son's work would probably be something like 5 to 10pm because he is a teenager in school.

Then he'd be having to go pick me up around 6 pm, and Son at maybe 10pm. They'd get home around 11.

The only other option is that I manage to stumble upon some legitimate work-from-home (I'd rather work outside and interact with people; I've been trapped in this house and isolated for 16 years) or work overnights, but he's vetoed the idea of me working nights because he doesn't want to sleep alone.

Depending on where Son and I would be working we might be able to manage our schedules such that Son goes to work right after school (5pm or so start time, gives him time to come home, shower, get dressed, and leave again) and then I start work when Son's shift is ending so that That Guy makes one trip to town to drop Son off at work, another to pick up Son and drop me off and that would be roughly 9:30 pm to 10:30 pm if we happen to work in the same place or at least nearby each other. He'd get home and get to bed around 11. Then That Guy has to come and get me at 7am which is right after Son gets on the bus (meaning That Guy would have to get up with Son in the morning to make sure he got on the bus because I wouldn't be there), bring me home, and then he might be leaving for work around 8:30 am assuming he did his morning get-ready before leaving to get me. Gets to work at 9:30, works the full shift so off work at 6:30 pm, then gets home at 7:30, though more like 8:30 or even 9 due to rush hour traffic out of the DC Metro area and at that point Son's missed most of his work shift...

It's the same as the insurance thing. He demands it happens then gets in the way of it happening and blames others for it not happening.

What he needs to do to make this work the way he wants it to is get at least one more car that son and I could share or for us to move somewhere the two of us can walk to work.

Either way, it's going to cost him money to not have to spend his money on us and he's short circuiting trying to figure out how to make this all work without him spending any money.

experimentaldragonfire’s SU Fic Rec List

Stuck at home? Running out of stuff to read? I figured I’d put together a semi-comprehensive series of fanfic recommendations so that all the hours I’ve spent on AO3 over the years can be considered at least vaguely useful. A lot of these are quite old, so if you’ve only read more recent fics, you might find something that you haven’t seen here!

Please feel free to add your own links and recommendations--I personally would love more reading material! This list will focus on SU fics, but I’ll probably make more for other fandoms going forward if anyone’s interested. Bear in mind that, as I’ve mentioned, since many (most) of these were written a while ago, they might not represent exactly how the plot of the show progressed (though they now provide a pretty interesting look at the older fanfic tropes/theories!)

Also, upfront: most of these, when ships do appear, are Lapidot or PearlRose--clearly, I’m very narrowly-focused on what I read. And if one of your fics is on here and you want to be tagged, let me know and I will do so!

Steven Universe Fic Recs

General (None or canonical/background/multiple ships):

histories by avulle (T, F/F, Gen)

“Pearl (pearl) is born in what would have been the year 100,492 BCE. (She is not older than the entire human race—but only just.)”

An introspective look at the Crystal Gems through the years, written in a style that’s practically poetic and absolutely gorgeous.

Inferior Blue by hTeDruknenPotaT (M, Gen)

"Your name is Lapis Lazuli. Lapis is a fun thing to name your child when your last name is Lazuli, and when your name is Lapis Lazuli, blue seem like a nice color to dye your hair. It's fortunate that blue is your favorite color, that you manage not to despise it after all the blue you've been surrounded by all your life."

Lapis Lazuli meets a strange young boy who helps to heal the scars of her past.

The first time I read this fic, I stayed up until 5AM and cried into my pillow through the final chapters. And it continued to make me cry every time I reread it. Massive angst warning, but if you can handle fics that are beautiful but tragic, this is for you.

capacity by broken_halleluiah (G, F/F)

After a routine council meeting, Pink Diamond insists on repairing a broken piece of equipment. The result is far more than she bargained for.

A fic speculating on the nature of Pearls in Homeworld society, written well before we got to see any of that in canon. As such, it isn’t entirely in-line with later canon, but is still entirely worth reading.

Breaking Down by PTlikesTea (M, multi)

Rose's world view is shattered by a black market pearl and the realization that everything she knows about them is wrong.

An extensively long series of shorter mostly-self-contained stories exploring a version of Homeworld society where Pearls are considered as little more than disposable property. Major warnings for Pretty Much Everything--definitely keep an eye on the tags--but this is an iconic series of works, started in 2015 and predating many of the later revelations about canon Homeworld. 

A Gem and Her Pearl (Rose) by Potential Violet (G, gen)

Blue Diamond forces Rose Quartz to get a pearl, changing Rose's life, the pearl's life and the course of Gem history. All relationships begin somewhere, this is the beginning of Rose and Pearl's.

Another take on Rose and Pearl’s meeting, and the status of Pearls in Homeworld society (there’s a bit of a theme here with these recommendations). Again, predates most canon revelations regarding the topics, and predates all of the canon information about the Diamonds.

Pearl, Interrupted by AceyEnn (E, multi)

In August, Steven Quartz Universe was born.

In August, Rose Quartz died in childbirth.

In December, Pearl decides she can't handle any of it.

Or: Pearl Tries To Kill Herself And Ends Up In A Therapy Group Run By Her Best Friend's Mom (Well, One Of Her Moms).

Human AU focusing on Pearl dealing with Rose's death--or rather, not dealing with Rose’s death. Major content warnings for suicide attempts, self-harm, etc (please read the tags), but overall a very well-written story. Still updating, despite being first posted in 2016! 

Lapidot:

in which Peridot is Not At All Surprised by the sudden appearance of a new waiter by gaySpaceRock_exe (G, F/F)

Peridot meets the new waiter at her regular restaurant and immediately falls head-first in love. 

Cute and fluffy, what more do you need in a fic? 

Homesick by DrPaine (G, F/F)

An encounter at the Galaxy Warp.

Short oneshot predating the Peridemption/Barn Arc, can be read as friendship rather than romantic. 

Observation by DrPaine (G, F/F)

Peridot is a technician, meant to catch every detail. Not something she’s very fond of, but making yourself aware of your surroundings can be helpful, when you’re slipping into troublesome thoughts.

Incomplete but very much an introspective look at Peri’s character as perceived back in 2015-ish. Not as much focused on romance as on concepts of identity and anxiety. 

Of Stage Lights and Stage Fright by AcrylicPaint (M, F/F)

All Lapis wanted was to participate in the local production, but there was a minor element she hadn't taken into consideration when she agreed to take the leading role, and that was; dealing with the cute techie's constant staring.

That, and the fact she was beginning to stare too.

Human theatre AU, and an excellent completed multichapter fic. I remember that when I first read this, I was in high school and part of the musical, so it was a very topical read--and now it’s the height of nostalgia. 

No Regrets by Raptor_Red (E, F/F)

No Regrets, or, the story of how Peridot tried to romance the blue-haired tattoo artist from the parlor across the street

A personal favorite! The writing in this fic is just so nice to read, and though I’m not usually a fan of tattoo artist AUs, this one really managed to make the whole concept make sense within the story. I can’t count how many times I’ve read this fic. Please read this.

12 O’Clock at Your Local King Soopers by InsomniacArrest (T, F/F)

Lapis works late night shifts, Peridot is somebody's overworked assistant, they both need more sleep and better people skills: the grocery store story.

Is it a Lapidot fic rec list if I don’t include 12KS? Probably the most iconic fic for this pairing, with good reason. Also, consider this a recommendation for literally everything IA has ever written--there are too many good fics to name them all individually, otherwise they’d comprise half of this entire list.

Of Meteors and Minimal Speech by Waypaststrange (moonbeatblues)(F/F)

In which things at the barn settle down, nobody speaks much, and strange lights appear in the sky.

Vaguely fluffy oneshot, very cute!!

Awkward Office Encounters by SilverEyedRukia (T, F/F) 

Due to a broken down air conditioner on a scorching hot day the computers' overheated systems need fixing. Luckily for everyone a blonde technician is up for the job, but unbeknowst to them the IT nerd turns out to be someone they didn't expect her to be, especially not Lapis who kind of asked her out on a date already.

Human workplace AU, starts off relatively comedic but gets into Emotional Territory towards the end.

Camp Pining Hearts by kamanzi (M, F/F)

Peridot and Jasper return to summer camp after their freshmen year of college--this time, as counselors. Peridot is disappointed to learn that nothing is quite the same, especially her relationship with her best friend. Whose fault is this? She blames Jasper's girlfriend.

“‘Let’s go back next year and be counselors,’ she said. ‘It’ll be fun,’ she said.”

Human summer camp counselors AU that’s definitely long enough to use up some stuck-at-home-self-isolating time.

A Week by teamchaosprez  (E, F/F)

Who knew that a single night of drunken sex could push Peridot and Lapis from being roommates with a mutual crush to regularly fucking and maybe - just maybe - eventually becoming girlfriends and standing up to the homophobia surrounding both of their family lives.

A human college AU focusing a lot on working through interpersonal relationships and coming to terms with emotions

Set Me Free by cym70 (T, F/F) 

Being roommates gives Lapis and Peridot a lot of time to get to know each other and, despite their rocky history, they might just be able to make something entirely new.

A friends-to-lovers fic, post-Barn Mates. Very sweet!

Waltz of the Nian by QuickYoke (T, F/F)

Lapis doesn't understand fusion at heart, but she does know she's an unideal partner for it.

 Lapis' relationship with fusion, and also Peridot. A fic that basically encapsulates the ideal of profound prose that makes you feel things, even if you don’t precisely know how or why.

Pushing by Like Hearts by mautadite (T, F/F)

“Sounds like you’re really counting on that road trip magic.”

(Peridot and Lapis do Midway City, and Empire City, and Plateau Ville, and all the places in between.)

Canonverse road trip, because every rec list needs a “the characters go on a long journey together and find themselves, and each other” fic. And because this fic made me feel so many emotions.

A thousand years (F/F)

I have died a thousand years, waiting for you.

 Childhood friends-to-adult-lovers human AU, one of the fic tropes that always just punches me in the face with feelings.

[canadianfruitpunch]

ok ive very minimally gathered my thoughts beyond just pure rage. icmyi, alberta announced today that isolation will no longer be a legal mandate (barring international travel which is federally mandated), AHS is no longer conducting contact tracing, and they will not be notifying workplaces, schools or other locations (except acute care, LTC, and daycares). It was also published today that the R-value is 1.48, meaning that on average, an infected person will pass covid on to 1.48 people. Since this number is larger than one, it means cases will continue to increase. This has happened before, but even at the height of the third wave it was never this high. Additionally, all AHS testing centers such as the Edmonton expo center will be dismantled at the end of August, leaving the only tests available at doctors offices and the emergency department, essentially leaving the EDs to do all the work, as most clinics will not allow entry if you’re symptomatic, and asymptomatic testing will be completely stopped. Schools will not require masks except as a temporary measure if there is an outbreak.

In short, I’m absolutely terrified. The province has completely abandoned all safety measures in one day, summarized in one 14-tweet thread. Kids under 12 have been left behind, as have those who are unable to get vaccinated for other reasons. Every day I come home from work to check the numbers and read the analysis of doctors and people who actually care and I’ve genuinely never felt more hopeless at any point during the pandemic. Albertans have been abandoned by the government time after time but it’s never been this bad and I never could’ve imagined even reaching this point where even the CMOH stopped pretending to care. I’ve been vaccinated, as have all of my friends, but as we’re seeing, especially with the delta variant, that is not bullet proof protection. One of my worst fears is that I’ve picked it up somewhere and am asymptomatic, passing it on to my kids at work who are unable to get vaccinated, or that I will pick it up from one of them. Just today I talked to a parent who said that his daughter caught it at school from a kid with parents who refused to get vaccinated and continued to attend large gatherings, she looked to be only 7 or 8 years old. I can barely stomach the thought of going back to class in person with zero safety measures in place, and rising cases. Since the election everything the government has done has made me regret attending university in the province and my only plan right now for after I graduate is to get the hell out. There is nothing here that could ever make it worth staying.

hi alberta I’m fucking livid

History:

Charlotte was born into the shaky uncertain hands of a nineteen year old single mother, who though would struggle as any young woman going it alone in New York City would– still managed to keep her head up. Charlotte was initially often left to the care of nonchalant teenagers looking to earn some money for their prom dresses, her mother working sporadic hours in a Brooklyn emergency room. New York had been her mother’s dream, something about the city had called to her from her youth, but alas it never quite panned out to be the storybook place to lead her life away from home. Stubborn in the way most Benoit women happened to be ( a trait Charlie would surely inherit as well ) Estelle did her best within the circumstances to continue to stand on her own two feet. However, by Charlotte’s third birthday financial burden and her child’s general best interests forced Estelle to bite the bullet and return home to Hickory Creek, Connecticut.

From that point forward, Charlie’s grandparents had a heavy hand in raising the young woman. Yet, in spite of the new dynamic, she would still be forged into a mindset of ‘us versus the world’ in relation to her mother. Any father-daughter designated roles were filled instead by her grandfather, and Charlotte made very little effort to squeeze information from her mother in regards to the mystery sperm donor who would otherwise have taken on such a role. Growing into the opinion over time that if her father hadn’t wanted to be around, it was best he’d up and vanished– no good could have came from an unwilling parental figure, she’d suppose.  

Socially, Charlotte often seemed to miss the mark. Able to count on one hand throughout her years of schooling how many friends she had, and instead throwing herself into maintaining a steadily high grade point average and participating in athletics. Cross country as well as track and field became a fixed part of her young adult life, trophies and ribbons eventually lining her bookshelf. Choosing mostly to not partake in school dances, or other similar more social activities, besides her senior prom which she had really only attended because her mother relentlessly insisted she do so.

By the time college came rolling around, Charlotte already had a pretty clear picture in her head in regards to what she wanted to dedicate her life to, helping people. Something she aspired to mostly after having grown up watching her mother do just that. Choosing a more physically demanding means of doing so was very much within the realm of what might be expected of Charlie by her family, unconcerned that the field would be a largely male dominated one. However, she did settle for obtaining a degree in fire science to help give herself a bit of a foot up over others who may have just completed their qualifications.

Sadly, during her freshman year of college, her grandfather would come to pass at the mercy of a heart disease. The turn of events causing Charlotte to move off campus to live with her grandmother and help with the transition to their lives without the beloved family figurehead. This move served mostly to cement Charlie’s already borderline hermit-like tendencies. Especially upon her grandmother’s decision to leave Hickory Creek to retire somewhere fresh, somewhere less occupied by memories that brought her loss to the surface. In the process, also choosing to leave the house itself in Charlotte’s care; as she didn’t quite have the heart to sell it.

After completing her probationary firefighter period Charlie decided to balance her work with continuing her education, her eye on climbing up the ladder within the Hickory fire department but knowing she’d need a sturdy degree under her belt to make sure no one could deny her aspirations. Time earned the respect of those she worked with, and being a local with her master’s degree and emergency management training made her hard to pass over when higher ranking openings were applied for. There’s always the occasional probationary firefighter that comes in and scoffs at the female Lieutenant, but she is stern and takes part in the annual firefighter challenge which establishes her as much more than just a token female ‘to save face’ in the field. It’s safe to say that Charlotte is pretty married to the job.

Charlie sticks out quite a bit in Rose Acres, having more of a Hickory Square associated personality type but having inherited her grandmother’s rather large property to maintain and live off of to her whims. In any other circumstance, it wouldn’t be her first choice, but she can’t deny her affection for the home and the memories attached to it. Like her grandmother, she’d never have the heart to sell it and her Great Dane would surely be disappointed with less property to roam. The downside, of course, being that the residence is admittedly isolating and doesn’t much foster Charlotte to get out and be more social a creature.

Men’s Style Casual Pants Online Shopping In Pakistan

Proclamation coats and the most recent shoes are continually going to be top of men's desire records, however don't give high-wattage a chance to clobber daze you to the basics. The correct pair of pants can be the most unobtrusively amazing thing you wear, yet fail to understand the situation and you'll immediately dull the sparkle of the inclining pieces you spent so much time pursuing.

Indeed, it's anything but difficult to just stout for your attempted and-tried thin fit dark pants for the umpteenth time, however there's an entire closet loaded with first-rate trews that will look similarly as smooth given a large portion of the opportunity. Here is a portion of the unrecognized pant styles that you probably won't have considered, however unquestionably should.

Corduroy Trousers

Once carefully the protect of anecdotal (and genuine) occupants of the scholarly community, corduroy is a standout amongst the most underutilized materials in men's style and, whenever worn accurately, can make for a key pair of pants. There's a 1970s recovery going on in menswear, as well, so there will never be been a superior time to cover your legs in the string.

The line is a material made out of woven, contorted cotton or fleece, bringing about parallel lines (called 'grains'). Fleece corduroy is the most strong sort and wears especially well. In this way, just as presenting a touch of shallow knowledge, line pants will withstand a reasonable piece of unpleasant and tumble. The Indiana Jones of legwear, maybe. They can get somewhat warm, however, so it's ideal to spare them for when the virus truly begins to nibble.

As opposed to its occasionally stuffy implications, corduroy is splendid when dressing down and worn coolly. Take a stab at joining a couple of dim corduroy pants with a sweatshirt and commonsense cowhide tennis shoes to signpost that you're not really an individual at Oxbridge.

This stripey texture additionally works admirably of adding a pinch of identity to increasingly formal clothing. A thin cut corduroy suit will make a superb partner for a light-measure move neck and priest tie shoes come party season. Swerve the shirt and tie, however – Doctor Who has rendered that combo unwearable wherever outside of Comic-Con.

Fleece Trousers

A firm most loved of style bloggers (the thoughtful who don't dress like anime space explorers, that is) and craftsmanship chiefs the world over, fleece pants offer a return to the days when pants weren't the true ruler of legwear.

Ideal both for styling with other custom fitted isolates or tiding an easygoing getup, fleece pants have been a pillar among industry insiders for a considerable length of time – and their notoriety isn't hinting at any disappearing.

While you'll regularly observe them dressed down with a couple of tennis shoes by authorities of cool hanging outside space workplaces comfortable puffing on roll-ups, they work similarly also styled in an increasingly customary manner. For motivation, cast your eye to Pitti Uomo where they're regularly grounded with a couple of brogues, Derbies or twofold priests.

Twill Chinos

A decent bit of workwear puts in a move on the off chance that you need to attest your old-school manly qualifications. In twill chinos, quality craftsmanship meets dependability and style in an ideal ménage à trews of cool that is still astoundingly wearable.

Cut from heavyweight cotton, woven to make a surface containing corner to corner parallel edges, twill is a conventional material that, whenever put resources into, will give fantastic expense per-wear counts on account of its solid nature.

Also, every scrape on a couple of twill chinos recounts to a story – regardless of whether the main 'work' you end up doing in them is loafing about on Twitter. In twill, the ambushed chino likewise breaks out of the domain of 'Ibiza fellows on visit' into an inside and out progressively grown-up feeling of spot and convention.

The style is still, carefully, an easygoing pant so wear them with a nice pair of shoes, (for example, anything with a complexity Vibram sole), a T-shirt orbit of knitwear and top with an overshirt or denim coat for an easily chill obligation look.

Loose Legged Trousers

The thin pants backfire is authoritatively on. Tired of disgustingly sketched out genitalia and attempting (and coming up short) to evacuate our skinnies with poise following a night out, loose-legged pants and pants are looking increasingly engaging constantly.

Beholding back to 1950s-enlivened pieces of clothing, Levi's 501 cut is solidly back on the radar of menswear's most sharp and the model has brought its mates in the interest of personal entertainment, as well.

While they are ideal for giving a stage to a champion bit of footwear, looser-slice chinos and pants need to break impeccably. Excessively long and they'll resemble the floor-hauling boot cuts, excessively high and you'll seem as though you're wearing three-quarter lengths. The primary target is to maintain a strategic distance from a pooling circumstance, so we'd propose going for the sew to fall somewhere close to the highest point of your shoe and its previously set of eyelets.

With regards to styling, differentiate the additional texture underneath by keeping your top half fitted to maintain a strategic distance from any allegations that you've been playing spruce up in your father's closet.

Slimline Joggers

There have been some phenomenal half breeds throughout the years: the shacket, the snood, er, Kimye, however none brag as much fortitude as athleisure, which is an uncommon case of design and capacity uniting for more noteworthy's benefit.

The games luxury development is as yet a draw Stateside, and keeping in mind that UK marks took somewhat longer to get up to speed, youthful Brits have investigated their hearts. Consolidating the "it feels like I'm wearing nothing by any stretch of the imagination" solace of joggers with the thin attack of a progressively contemporary work pant, they're similarly at home in the bar or the rec center.

While there could be a contention made for the correct jogger coordinated with the privilege overshirt, we'd recommend keeping the streetwear vibe going with a logo T-shirt from any semblance of Palace, Stussy or Undefeated, a position of safety way of life sprinter on the foot and a somewhat more astute plane coat.

In case you're not on a streetwear flex, venture into some container new white ribbon up coaches and stick on a (flawlessly pressed) Oxford shirt to infuse some sharpness into the look.
