Best Practices

• •Embrace Confident Simplicity: Use clear, concise language. Avoid excessive jargon or overly flowery descriptions. Let the product and visuals do much of the talking, but ensure the accompanying text is assertive and self-assured. Think 'show, don't just tell,' but when you tell, make it count.
• •Channel the 'Authentic Edge': Infuse copy with a sense of raw honesty and an unapologetic, slightly rebellious spirit. This doesn't mean being aggressive, but rather staying true to an unpolished, intuitive cool. Highlight the 'why' behind a design if it connects to a core inspiration, like hip-hop culture or personal heritage.
• •Speak to Individuality: Frame products not just as items, but as tools for self-expression. Use language that empowers the customer to make the pieces their own and to feel confident in their unique style. The genderless aspect is a key part of this.
• •Maintain Visual-Verbal Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy directly reflects the aesthetic of the brand's visuals (which are often minimalist, impactful, and play with proportions). If the imagery is bold and stark, the copy should be equally direct and impactful, not whimsical or overly playful.
• •Less is More, but Make it Statement: Reflect the brand’s approach of 'minimalist with statement power.' Every word should serve a purpose. Focus on strong verbs and impactful nouns. Even short captions or product names can convey the brand's edgy, cool, and timeless essence. The goal is to be memorable and instantly recognizable, much like Carter's personal style.
