Sense Clothing | The Tunic Pant Has Got You Covered!

With the big buzz going around about the “shortage” of yoga pants and the alleged “see-through” pant, we thought it was time to formally introduce our gem of a pant- the Sense Essential Tunic Pant.

Sense Essential Tunic Pant

Every apparel business has a foundation style – the “ONE” that started it all. That would be the Essential Tunic Pant from Sense. Even now in 2013 it continues to be our best selling pant. What is the allure, why does this pant do so well? Good question.

For starters when you put on a pair of Tunic Pants your entire look becomes clean, sleek and SLIM – yes this is the real hook – TUNIC PANTS MAKE YOU LOOK TEN POUNDS THINNER the minute you put them on!

This straight leg slack made of soft cotton modal provides comfort and elegance for any occasion!

Sure beats 4 weeks of cleansing, dieting, eating lettuce or whatever works! All of us at Sense are huge fans and followers of healthy living practices, eating well, exercise, & being active. Following a routine to keep our crazy world in moderation is great…but boy it sure is GREAT to slip on those Tunic Pants! Especially when you feel a little puffy or you have to sit on a plane flight for more than an hour. Or when you’re hitting the gym for a pilates or yoga class and just do not want to be bound in by your workout clothes! Plus the built in skirt/extra layer gives you full coverage to workout in confidence….no “see-through” going on with the Tunic Pant!

We love this pant so much we’ve made variations for every activity and style.

Active Tunic Capri- sporty and good for warmer classes and time of year.

Active Tunic Ankle- full coverage with the flexibility of a legging fit.

Palazzo Tunic Pant- fuller leg for a sophisticated look focused on movement.

So it is real simple – go to www.wearsense.com buy a pair of Tunic Pants, put those babies on and feel slim & fit- ready to go and never look back. Please give us a buzz at Sense -505.988.5534- if you would like to know the best size, style and fit for you – we are here to help you look and feel your best! No need to stress availability either because these items are apart of our Essentials Collection, which is timeless and stocked continuously!

Happy shoppin’ and booty covering!

Hannah Kearny: A Ski Season of Wins & Comfort in Sense

If you follow Sense on facebook (and please do!) then you’ve probably seen us hyping up Professional Skiier, Hannah Kearny. She’s not only an Olympic Gold Medalist, but she’s had quite the season this year and we’re MORE than excited for all her successes, plus her sharing her Sense love along the way!

Hannah had a set back early in the season that posted her up for several months.”Unfortunately, I took a spill during training on October 5th and had to spend 5 days in the hospital with a bruised liver, 2 fractured ribs and a small pneumothorax in my right lung. Once I was allowed to change out of my hospital gown, my teammates brought me some of my own clothing and my Sense wear was quite comfortable for my forced bed rest. Luckily, I was never in a lot of pain and I heal quickly.” –Hannah Kearny

And heal quickly she did! Hannah used her injury as a boost to take full advantage of her opportunity and fight for what she wanted- to win the World Cup. Read more details of Hannah’s journey to the yellow bib straight from Team USA here.

Hannah is one incredible athlete and woman! We’ve been honored to work with Hannah for years now and just adore that she shares her adventures across the world with Sense. She is the ultimate proof that Sense Clothing is made for activities, comfort, style, and travel- the everything clothing made to handle it all!

“After a 33 day trip that took me to Calgary, Utah, Colorado, Russia and Japan I returned home for four days. I did laundry, repacked my bags and now I am waiting for the bus to Boston to catch my flight to Norway for World Championships. I believe you will recognize the Sense pants, tank and shirt I am wearing. I am sure to be comfortable on this long travel day.” – Hannah Kearney

With our hearts booming, Hannah won the FIS Freestyle Ski World Championships women’s moguls and didn’t stop there.

This past weekend Hannah took first place in Are, Sweden for women’s Dual Moguls and is now headed to Spain this weekend for finals. We cannot be more excited for her season and are rooting for her all the way to finals!

Thanks Hannah for being a Sense-ational Supporter and we look forward to seeing some pics from a restful off season- because you deserve it!

Daily Sense: how to Flirt Skirt it all winter long

We love the Flirt Skirt. Because of it’s versatility we continue to include varieties of it in most collections. With the colder months ahead, you may be wondering how to wear a mini without too much exposure. So here are some ideas to get your own personal creative style in motion.

Pair the black IKAT Flirt Skirt with a basic black tight and black boots. Dress this up or down, high boots or ankle booties. Either way, you get a classic look that’s easy for layering.

Headed to dance/yoga class? Combine the Flirt Skirt in thistle IKAT with a subtle legging or tights. Get the flexibility needed for class while also a feminine twist (and a booty cover up too!).

Get extra flirty in the Flirt Skirt in rouge IKAT and stockings. Keep the feel of a mini while adding warmth with a trendy thick stocking and rugged boot.

IKATn’t get enough of IKAT!

Have you seen our new fabric pattern? It’s called IKAT and we seriously can’t get enough of it. If you’ve picked up any women’s clothing catalog lately you’ll see some variation of IKAT fabric.

So what is IKAT anyway? IKAT is a form of resistant dying which basically allows a pattern to be woven into fibers that is unaffected by dye. This then creates designs in fabric that are vibrant, organic looking, and a lot of fun!

It’s hard to say where this form of decorating fabrics originated, but it’s more commonly found in pre-Columbian Central and South American cultures (aka it’s been around for a LONG time!). So yea it’s been around, but yet just hitting the presses in the fashion industry!

Now not only does our new IKAT fabric hit the mark on the trend of fabric designs, but also the pattern itself is a knock out. Because of our Santa Fe roots we’ve been VERY excited about the trends in Native prints. So what better than to mix the two and create a beautifully hued IKAT print that speaks of our surroundings.

This Fall 2012, Sense Clothing is thrilled to introduce the IKAT fabric to it’s Fall Collection. It ships late September, so please hold tight! Can’t wait? Check out our “Touch of Fall” video and get an up close and personal look at our new favorite fabric:

Sense-ational Supporter | Olympian Hannah Kearney!

Time for the 2012 Summer Olympics! But we’ve got our eye on a special Winter Olympian Gold Medalist and Sensational Sense Supporter, Hannah Kearney!

Hannah Kearney wearing her 2010 Olympic mogul skiing Gold Medal

Hannah, native of Vermont, has been dominating the ski world for years. She not only swept the World Cup Overall Title in 2009, but she’s also got an Olympic mogul skiing Gold Medal under her belt. There’s one thing for sure, she’s an incredible athlete and woman! But that’s not all; she’s also a Sensational Sense Supporter. Here’s why:

“I love wearing Sense because the clothing is incredibly comfortable, even when I am on a 14 hour flight. I appreciate that I don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort while I travel the world for ski competitions. Plus, the versatility of their pieces allows my luggage to stay under the airlines’ weight limits.” –Hannah Kearney

We adore Hannah and can’t wait til the snow starts flying and our amazing friend is out on the slopes again. In the meantime, check out Hannah rocking Sense at the Lake Placid Olympic Training Center gearing up for another amazing season!

The Water Collection | Celebrating a new collection, highlighting styles, & hydration!

Did you know the human brain is 75% water? How about that 71.11% of the Earth is covered by water? Sense Clothing is FULL of water this spring…..The Water Collection that is.

The Water Collection has the color pallet and soft modal fabrics that will flow smoothly into your existing wardrobe.  Weather you’re at the studio or hitting the streets, The Water Collection is versed for all movement. Let me introduce you to some highlighted pieces.

Dance Pant, in Storm

The Dance Pant- With a gentle waistline and a seductive slit up the ankle, the Dance Pant is an extension of your body in motion. With elegance built into the design, set sail in The Dance Pant barefoot or in your fav heels!

Dance Pant, in Deep Sea

Active Cami w/ Shelf Bra, in Deep Sea 

The Active Cami- Toss this cami on before yoga class and transition it to the g store by adding layers (The Open Cardigan!). The shelf bra makes comfort and support simple all without sacrificing style.

Godet Skirt, in Storm

The Godet Skirt & ¾ Scoop Neck Tee- The Water Collection is more than just active wears. It also includes pieces you can toss in your bag to transform a workout outfit into day or evening wear….like the Godet Skirt & ¾ Scoop Neck Tee. Put this skirt or top on after dance class and keep the fluidity and comfort rippling throughout your day.

3-4 Scoop Neck Tee, in Deep Sea

The Water Collection isn’t the only thing that’s going to ease you into spring (on your outside), but check out these simple tips to keep you hydrated (on your inside) during this season’s transition!

– Make sure you’re getting enough water- How much is enough? Here’s a quick equation to determine just that. Take your body weight (i.e. 120lbs.), divide it in half (=60), and that’s the amount of water in ounces you need/day (i.e. roughly 6 glasses/day).

– Do you have a BPA free water bottle? We all (should) know why we need to steer clear of BPA’s, but how to do so? Investing in a glass or steel water bottle is easy. Go old school with a cork/glass bottle or step into this century with a modern bottle from these top brands Klean Kanteen, Camelbak, or Life Factory.

– What other benefits come from drinking a ton of water out of safe bottles? Let’s see….healthy skin, flush toxins, cushion and lube joints and muscles, energy, alertness, regulate body temperature, burn more fat and build muscle (yay!),  reduce risk of disease and infection….makes for beautiful roses…need we say more?!?

Water is crucial for life. So is Sense’s latest, The Water Collection J. Thanks for checking out our new line, may your spring be FULL of Sense Clothing and your body hydrated and filled with vibrancy!

Lots of love,

Sense Clothing
