Like seemingly everyone I know, I started watching Sterling Point this weekend and am now fully invested. It’s exactly the kind of end-of-summer viewing I want: beautiful people, beautiful lake, family secrets, and romance. There’s a moment when Annie—played by the gorgeous Ella Rubin—is trying to process the emotional avalanche that has just landed on her. She says she wishes she had a “” and goes on to explain that it’s basically a little compression vest people put on dogs during thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. The gentle pressure is meant to make them feel calmer and safer. Essentially: a wearable hug. And then Ellis—her adorable love interest—pulls her into his arms. Swoon! Feels like I could use a few ThunderShirts of my own right about now. My youngest starts his senior year of high school this week, which I’m sorry, HOW? Don’t mind me while I sob all year long. Perhaps one recourse is to dress accordingly: clothes that feel reassuring. Protective, even. A little fashion armor for the emotional weather ahead. Conveniently, just dropped its new , along with a new logo, visual identity, a little more sophistication, while still hanging onto the very French, vintage-inflected DNA that made us love it in the first place. (I love how London-based is doubling down on fall’s layering trend with two .) I snapped up this (that’s already sold out in other colors!). And is doing that other thing I need from clothes right now: refusing to acknowledge that summer is actually over. Its newest pieces make the transition feel almost ridiculously easy— and alongside knits and more substantial layers. (P.S. .) ’s grommet skirt also steps up to the plate, ever so bravely, and shout out to for all the transitional staples our closet needs at refreshingly affordable prices (just act fast because they always disappear so fast!). And then there’s my own just-purchased armor. This morning I finally pulled the trigger on the I’ve been circling forever. It’s not particularly seasonal, which is exactly the point. Black, streamlined, utilitarian, and one of those evergreen pieces that somehow sits outside the churn of trends and makes whatever I put around it look more intentional. A Thundershirt against fashion’s constantly changing weather, if you will!
