The essentials are meant to stick with you through yoga and the drive home (or, these days, the walk from your bedroom to the living room), followed by a chill night on the couch. You'll find that they hug you in all the right places but still give you room to breathe - because nobody likes feeling constricted! The essential's fabric is buttery soft and non-compressive, and will continue to mold to your body shape the more you wear them. The essentials run true to size. Items are from my personal closet. Smoke-free home.
