The lightweight Everett Jacket features a diamond quilted body with a water-repellent finish, and it folds into a Zocket self-pouch. “Because it’s quilted, it looks great and it’s not too heavy,” says Robinson. “It’s actually one of my favorite outerwear pieces, because I can have on a T-shirt, and once I throw that on, it automatically elevates my look.” Available in black or navy, women’s sizes S-3X and men’s S-5X. Vantage Apparel / PPAI 113235, Platinum / vantageapparel.com Robinson’s favorite piece from the Earthwise line is the Vansport Trek Hoodie. “The drape of it is just so elegant. I love how it falls,” she says. “It’s a wonderful fabric, feels great on my skin and it comes in all the prime, earthy colors.” Made with 45% Repreve recycled polyester, each moisture-wicking hoodie recycles 11-12 plastic bottles and features a kangaroo pocket, tagless label and UPF 50+ protection. Available in eight colors, women’s sizes XS-3X and men’s S-5X. Vantage Apparel / PPAI 113235, Platinum / vantageapparel.com The Women’s Cuddle Boxy Crew delivers both a trending texture and modern silhouette with its super-soft Hacci fabric and a loose and flowy fit with a flattering high-low vented hem.

Boxercraft / PPAI 159420, Silver / boxercraft.com A counterpoint to the gender-neutral trend is the resurgence of details like crop tops, side slits and puffy sleeves in women’s apparel.
