Best Practices

• •Embrace Understatement: Avoid overly trendy jargon or excessive superlatives. Let the quality and design speak for themselves. Focus on words like "refined," "timeless," "quality," "essential," "crafted."
• •Highlight Heritage with a Modern Lens: Reference the classic inspirations (Ivy, preppy, denim) but always bring it back to the contemporary, modern interpretation and wearability.
• •Focus on Longevity and Quality: Emphasize that these are investment pieces, made with care from quality materials, intended to last beyond a single season.
• •Maintain a Touch of Elegance: Even when describing casual items like sweatshirts or tees, infuse a sense of sophistication in the language. For example, "a beautifully simple crewneck sweatshirt" rather than just "a comfy sweatshirt."
• •Speak to the Discerning Customer: Assume an audience that appreciates quality, subtle details, and timeless style over fast fashion. The copy should feel intelligent and considered.
