Sol Angeles Is Designed for Casual Men Who Still Want to Look Good

Bryan Holt

In 2008, Eli and Lindsay Myers found themselves unemployed shortly after moving from New York to Los Angeles. The two pondered their purpose in a new city and ever-changing fashion industry, a quandary that resulted in a lifestyle brand that reflects the ideals and qualities of their new coastal environment: Sol Angeles.

The California-based lifestyle and clothing brand is designed with a low-maintenance, high-satisfaction approach, embracing the veil of casual optimism and carefree aspiration that blankets Southern California. Each piece in its repertoire is meticulously cut and sewn in Sol Angeles’ downtown LA warehouse, from the bright crewneck T-shirts and pullover sweaters to swim trunks, polos, tank tops, and more.

How to Wash a Cashmere Sweater Without Ruining It

Look, we get it: it can be tempting to never want to wash your best cashmere sweaters. Maybe you had a traumatizing moment with stray knitwear making its way into the dryer. Or maybe you just spent a ton on fancy cashmere and don’t want to risk ruining your investment. We’ve all been there. But the fact remains: sooner or later things are going to get stinky or, even worse, stained and you’re going to need to figure out how to wash cashmere sweaters.

Before you ask, yes you can dry clean cashmere sweaters. (You can dry clean basically anything if you really want to, frankly.) In fact, that little tag inside the waist of your sweater would tell you that’s what you’re supposed to do. Dry cleaning’s got a dark side, though: they use a ton of harsh chemicals to get the stains and odors out of your gear. Over time, these chemicals will start to break down the fibers in your favorite sweater and before you know it, you’ll be way worse off than if you just gritted your teeth and learned how to clean a cashmere sweater yourself in the first place.

A lot of people have a lot of opinions on the cardigan vs sweater debate. Some absolutely loathe cardigans, while others will swear by them. But the thing is, it all really depends on the outfit. The distinct differences between sweaters and cardigans make them especially suited for different moments.
