travel wear

Many of us have the dream of owning fewer things, a smaller collection of well loved pieces that all reliably go together. When you get up in the morning, you can take anything out of your closet and look great. This is the concept of a capsule wardrobe — a limited number of pieces that mix and match and go with every other piece. The whole idea is to save time and conserve energy in thinking about what you should wear, so you can apply yourself to more important things. A work capsule wardrobe is a slightly different beast, as...

The holidays can be a busy, fun, even stressful time, and the last thing I want to think about at this time of year is what I’m going to pack or wear to a particular place or event. But when you have quality, versatile travel clothes that you can dress up or down, finding the perfect look for the occasion, event, or location of your holiday revelry isn’t a big deal.

Our lives move fast, and there’s no way I am willing to expend a bunch of energy to protect...

As much as we all love travel, it can be a hassle. And a big part of this is what we drag along to look or feel good on our journey.

Sailing in brass buttons, fighting a war in a waxed trench coat, or camping in wool sweaters and canvas tents. Before Gore-Tex, people were forced to find a clothing solution to frigid temperatures and biting winds if they wanted to explore. I mean, Arctic dwellers and explorers used to create waterproof...

I originally founded Bluffworks because I felt my journey was more important than my clothes. I needed everything I wore to be easy, and support my dreams, not detract from them. The funny thing is, even those of us who profess to not care about fashion, still want to look good. What we wear is a deep expression of our identity.
