Karl Lagerfeld once said: "sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants”. In times of quarantine, it’s easy to retreat to the same stained t-shirt and sweatpants day in and out. It’s an unspoken truth that socks (and house slippers) are now the new shoes and a dress shirt alone more than suffices for your formal “outings”; no pants needed.

- change what you don’t like
- consume great content
With 2020 right around the corner, we couldn’t help but get to thinking about the annual resetting of our internal calendars, goal-setting and the meaning of evolution. Year after year we change, grow, and evolve. And in an ever-changing world where one needs to continuously reinvent themselves in order to keep up, evolution is, quite ironically, one of the few constants in our lives.
