Clover, the stylish and hip boutique on Westminster, is currently featuring attractive and comfortable clothing for the sticky summer heat (when Providence finally gets it of course!).
For men, check out the bright selection of tee’s by Loomstate, a company out of NYC dedicated to organic farming methods. These extremely lightweight shirts made from 100% organic cotton don beautiful prints perfect for the summer atmosphere. Clover also carries Loomstate’s polos, long-sleeve button downs, and hoodies, which are also made from very thin all-organic cotton. These are a great find for those of us who have a hard time handling the heat.
For women, Clover is stocking comfortable and easy Kain Label tanks and tees. This Los Angeles born and made collection describes their tees as the perfect “favorite tee” that look as good with sneakers as they do with heels. Sounds like something every woman wants!
And believe it or not, Clover’s fall 2009 merchandise is arriving soon. Check in regularly for new items, and the ever changing selection of sale merchandise.
