Blouses & Shirts

On days when the laundry is piling up and boredom is at an all-time high, it's possible you'll start scrolling through Instagram, only to find yourself on deep dive moments later, searching for a tie-dye sweatsuit you saw in someone's pictures. It's not news that colorful and cozy clothing is having a major moment as we quarantine at home. However, finding cute stuff that's still in stock can be pretty tricky. Unless, of course, you know where to look. RELATED: Everything You Need to Crop, Bleach, and Tie-Dye Clothes at Home It seems like the the cool kids — aka celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, and Chrissy Tiegen — are still setting the trends from home. They've been wearing brands that aren't quite mainstream (yet), tipping us off to where we can buy up-to-date styles that will come in handy both now and months, if not years, down the line. So, if your go-to stores are repeatedly telling you "sold out" or "restocking soon,&q

Clothing retailers are facing a massive inventory problem as most stores stay closed across the country.  Making matters worse is that off-price stores like TJ Maxx and Ross are not currently taking unsold inventory.  This could mean that brands will have to make some difficult decisions in the coming months.  Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. The spread of the coronavirus has left many retailers in a tricky position.  When nonessential businesses were forced to close across the country in March, clothing stores were left with a lot of inventory and no shoppers to purchase it. Many have been running unprecedented online sales to entice shoppers and, hopefully, lessen the blow.  One element making that inventory problem even worse is that off-price stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, and Burlington have also been forced to close amid the pandemic.  These retailers are typically an avenue for full-price retailers to offload products

These shirts are part of the State Forty-Eight clothing line produced by Chandler residents, Nicholas Polando, Stephen Polando and Michael Spangenberg. (Photo: Weldon B. Johnson/The Republic) Chandler clothing company State Forty Eight applied for the Paycheck Protection Program loan the first day they were made available. The government funding ran out before they were approved for the small-business loan, the company says.  But the apparel-line owners remain optimistic.  "We are making the best out of it and that's been the mindset for us," said Mike Spangenberg, the CEO and co-founder of State Forty Eight.    Spangenberg said the small-business loan process was "frustrating."  The company is trying to move forward and not "bank" on getting funds from the second round of small-business loan money passed by Congress and signed by President Trump on Friday.   Although retail store closures halted some business for State Forty Eight, the company continu

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A clothing manufacturing plant in Alabama was undergoing a deep cleaning after two employees tested positive for the new coronavirus, and a top executive said the plant is scheduled to reopen Monday. Workers walked out of the American Apparel plant in Selma on Thursday, the Selma Times-Journal reported. The walkout took place after the first case had been confirmed, and the second case was confirmed a short time later. Workers were told they would be paid their regular wages for Thursday and Friday while the plant was closed. Chuck Lambert, the company's president and CEO, said the plant has followed coronavirus safety guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "It's just a tough time for everybody," Lambert said. "We're going to do the very best we can, and we've done that throughout." Republican Gov. Kay Ivey has said in the coming week she will announce her plans to begin reopening parts of Alab

Poshmark I tend to use this service for higher-quality items, because for just a little more work I can make more money per item. You use your smartphone to snap some pictures (the more the better), add a description, set a price, then post it. If your item sells, Poshmark emails you a prepaid, preaddressed mailing label so you can box it up and send it to the buyer. Among resale sites, Poshmark and ThredUp have the biggest pools of customers, but to maximize sales on Poshmark, it helps to be active in its social media community by frequently posting listings, following other sellers and sharing their posts. In return for your efforts, you get 80 percent of the sales price, or, for items less than $15, the sales price minus $2.95. There's no fee to cash out, whether you spend the money to shop on Poshmark or request a check. Tradesy This site, which offers payouts similar to Poshmark's, has a smaller, more designer-focused audience but is easier to u

© Provided by Sporting News Having started out in non-league football in England back in 2011, Junior Eldstal is once again in those same waters in 2020, this time with Metropolitan Police. The difference, however, is that he enjoyed a hugely productive period in Malaysian football with Sarawak, Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national teams in between.  Still only 28 years old, Junior made the incredible decision to return to England to focus on developing his business after the 2018 season with JDT. But over time, the lure of football is proving more and more difficult to ignore. Acknowledging that time is still on his side, Junior is keeping his options open, while keeping a close eye on proceedings in Malaysia. "I decided to play for Met Police because they are only five minutes down the road from me and I have a couple of friends there. It's quite a good standard. When I first started, the thought process wasn't about thinking to ge

So here's the deal: We're all spending Earth Day a little differently this year, but that doesn't mean sustainability should take a backseat. If anything, all our time inside has shown us just how important it is to make choices that are kinder on Mother Earth. From ditching plastic bags to embracing sustainable beauty routines, and switching over to reusable products, there are so many ways you can do your part—and shopping sustainable fashion brands is one of them. Below, you'll find a list of brands and retailers who are committed to bringing you conscious fashion. Some of them, like Veja and Everlane, already have sustainability and transparency baked into their supply chains. Others, like Madewell and Verishop, are renewing their commitments for Earth Day's 50th anniversary this year. And then there are brands like & Other Stories that have created limited-edition, ethically-made capsule collections. Here are 30 sustainable and stylish brands worth shopping

Routine laundry should not cause worry. Wash it as you normally would. While some types of viruses, like the norovirus, can be tough to clean, the new coronavirus, like the flu virus, is surrounded by a fatty membrane that is vulnerable to soap. Washing your clothes in regular laundry detergent, following the fabric instructions, followed by a stint in the dryer is more than enough to remove the virus — if it was even there in the first place.

The late, iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld once said, "Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants." But as thousands of New Orleanians remain cooped up in their homes due to physical distancing measures, a local clothing designer, Matt Rebackoff, founder of Mr Eatwell, presents a different outlook. A silver lining of staying home, he says, "is that we essentially all have to wear sweatpants now." And now, some of the comfort items he's selling will also benefit laid-off service industry workers. Rebackoff launched the small online shop Mr Eatwell (www.mr-eatwell.com) three months ago, selling food-themed apparel, such as sweatpants, sweatshirts, baby onesies and crop tops. Items can be customized to include a pizza, bowl of pasta, po-boy sandwich or king cake. Most of the garments also are adorned with the message "appreciate you" in small lettering on the back. H

"Does this shirt match my wall?" is a question I never thought I'd ask myself. Then again, I never expected to weather a global pandemic in my studio apartment with a singular can of Lysol spray as my prized possession. So the shirt thing? Really, it's the least of my problems. But I love making it a big deal, pulling sweaters and blouses out of my closet, throwing them over my braless body (haven't worn one of those in a month!), and testing them out in front of a webcam like I'm about to snap a 2008 Myspace profile picture. Let me explain. Once upon a time, I played the dating game. My outfits were the pieces I moved across the chessboard. The photographer that wanted to meet up at a dive bar? Saw him there in my Levi 501s. That European guy with an ambiguous job and a reservation at an overpriced downtown hotspot? As long as my Rotate minidress and I weren't paying. The startup bro who was sooo busy and could only grab a drink at 9:30 on a Tuesday? He d

An old friend blurted out on Facebook the other day that in Week 5 of working from home, he has gotten tired of wearing jeans. "I can't believe I just wrote those words," he added, with tongue clearly planted firmly in cheek. "Jeans are the garment that defined my generation. Yet I find myself longing for the soft embrace of navy blue or charcoal gray. Perhaps with some pinstripes." My friend is a lawyer of considerable accomplishment in Manhattan. You can understand how being out of uniform would be unsettling both to him and to those who know him — like seeing a priest in an aloha shirt or a rocker in a blazer. Who are you if you don't look like you? The novel coronavirus has changed our l

The software company Toast, which works with the restaurant industry, last week cut half its workforce — 1,300 people — citing a dizzying drop in restaurant sales.

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER and ANNE D'INNOCENZIO AP Economics Writer April 15, 2020, 5:30 PM 4 min read 4 min read Share to FacebookEmail this article WASHINGTON -- U.S. retail sales plummeted 8.7% in March, an unprecedented decline, as the viral outbreak forced an almost complete lockdown of commerce nationwide. The deterioration of sales far outpaced the previous record decline of 3.9% that took place during the depths of the Great Recession in November 2008. Auto sales dropped 25.6%, while clothing store sales collapsed, sliding 50.5%, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Restaurants and bars reported a nearly 27% fall in revenue. U.S. consumer confidence has plunged and the vast majority of Americans are hunkered down at home under shelter-in-place orders. Consumer spending drives two-thirds of the U.S. economy, and the record drop in retail sales is a symptom of the sharp recession that most economists believe the U.S. has already entered.

Three fashion designers have created a new homemade, surgical-style mask and are giving the pattern away for free. Their design includes a pocket that can be filled with a material to help the mask filter tiny particles better than a mask made only from cotton, according some testing that they did. After testing dozens of materials with rented particle-testing equipment, they discovered that certain blue shop towels, as well as a certain white industrial cloth, can help a homemade cotton surgical mask filter particles 2-to-3x better than cotton.  Their testing also showed that the fit of the mask was crucial to having it filter particles well. So they designed a new mask for the legions of home sewers making masks right now. This is not an FDA-approved N95 mask but is intended to be a better-fitting alternative to some of the other patterns for surgical masks circulating on the internet.

In a normal year Michael Rubin's athletic apparel factory in Pennsylvania would be ramping up for the start of baseball season, churning out team uniforms and clothing to sell to fans. Instead his company, Fanatics, has remade itself into a gown and mask manufacturer for hospitals facing shortages of protective gear as they fight the coronavirus. Fanatics isn't alone. Thousands of companies across the US have responded to pleas for help from hospitals facing shortages of critical health supplies. Clothing companies like Gap and Hanes are making gowns and scrubs. Ford and General Motors are repurposing fans and batteries, typically used in cars, to make ventilators. Boeing and Apple are making face shields. Luxury brands, distilleries - even state prisoners - are producing hand sanitiser. "We felt it was our responsibility to help pitch in," says Mr Rubin. Firms responding in what he calls this "dire time of need" aren't necessarily going to profit from t

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been taking the world by storm since its release at the end of March, and it seems that the team at Xbox has also been enjoying the latest big release from Nintendo. The official Xbox Twitter shared two Xbox-inspired clothing designs for use in New Horizons, consisting of a Green Reflection short-sleeve tee and an Open Box sweater. If you're playing New Horizons, you can download both shirts by using the code machine at the Able Sisters. An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required to use the machine. Regardless of whether you're an Xbox die-hard, a huge Nintendo fan, or someone who just enjoys videogames without wanting to get involved in console wars, we can all agree that these designs are both adorable and fashionable. To quote Xbox – when everybody plays, we all win. In related Animal Crossing: New Horizons news, the game's latest v1.1.4 patch has finally stopped the in-game eggpocalypse from inundating players with themed

From Cosmopolitan Billie Eilish is fed up with people online who trolled her for wearing a bathing suit while on vacation earlier this year. In her recent Dazed interview, Billie said she got a lot of hate for wearing a bikini and can't win against body shamers. You know that creepy thing some online trolls tend to do, where they make unnecessary comments about teens' bodies and the clothing that they wear? Yeah, that. Sadly, Billie Eilish has been a victim of this behavior since she's gained popularity, even though she's known for wearing purposefully baggy 'fits so people can't have a dialogue about her bod. But when Billie went on vacation earlier this year and wore a bathing suit—call the cops!!—mean people wouldn't let her be. In Billie's recent interview with Dazed, she recalls reading comments after posting the bathing suit pics to her Instagram. "I saw comments like, 'How dare she talk about not wanting to be sexualized and wear this?!&#

Whether you're afraid of your shared laundry room, your dry cleaner's closed, you want to reduce your environmental footprint or you're simply lazy, one of these sprays may be right for you. It's only been a few years since dry shampoo disrupted the hair-washing game and became an everyday household item. I don't think it would be overly dramatic to say that, today, many of us couldn't imagine our lives without it. Could a similar disruption now be happening to laundry? More and more brands are coming out with spray-on products that Steph has already adeptly described as "dry shampoo for clothes." You can also think of them as Febreze for clothes (in fact, Febreze now makes one). These products promise to push off laundry day for as long as possible with freshening, deodorizing and wrinkle-smoothing powers that purportedly increase the amount of times you can rewear your favorite items. For those of us who live in apartments without in-unit washers and
