Spring Styles from ExOfficio Offer Travel Versatility and Comfort
- Written by: Pitch Engine
Women’s collection for spring 2016 designed to make the most out of the travel wardrobe.
ExOfficio®, a leading designer of travel performance apparel, is introducing a women’s collection for spring 2016 with pieces designed to mix and match so she can pack less and adventure more. Built on a foundation of performance fabrics for protection from the elements, reversible and convertible skirts and tops combine with classic styles to provide fashionable comfort away from home, whether exploring the sights or relaxing with the locals.
“Travelers know that packing light gives you more freedom to explore, but it can be challenging to do when you’re preparing for a wide range of adventures, both day and night,” said Kylene Wolfe, women’s product line manager for ExOfficio. “The solution is versatility: really comfortable, easy styles that can be worn in multiple ways and combinations for different activities, allowing the traveler to create fresh, chic looks in fewer pieces, so you can do more and pack less.”
Travel versatility in the spring 2016 collection is inspired by reversible and convertible pieces in a collection of complementary styles of skirts, dresses, tanks, shirts, and light layers. Crisp, clean colors and refreshed based neutrals combine with bold stripes, Eastern European-inspired prints and textures in soft, comfortable and flattering fabrics. Performance features such as wrinkle-resistance, sun-protection, and ventilation complete the effortless outfitting of any journey, destination, and adventure.
