According to Equipment's Twitter bio, "the Equipment woman is strong, chic, elegant, adventurous, sexy and above all, classic." If this woman exists I'd love to meet her. Or maybe I wouldn't, because she'd be so sickeningly perfect that I'd puke after ten minutes. I love Equipment's shirts, but I think they could work on their copy and take it down a notch.
These shirts are all made of 100% silk, with designs from the almost-gaudy to the nautical. I'm a sailor and therefore a sucker for anything with anchors or sailboats on it. These avoid the nautically stupid trap because they're on silk, which multiplies the possibility for adventurous design; starting with a high quality fabric means you can take risks that would look cheap on a material less nice. And I've gotta hand it to them: Equipment's shirts nail the balance of "adventurous" and "classic," whether it's the funky yellow snakeskin or the lilting lines of sailboats that march across the silk. Just don't drink the KoolAid--there's not a thing you can put on that will make you as perfect as Equipment's blurb suggests. If you're that desperate there's always plastic surgery and life-coaching.
