As a (mostly) lifelong Minnesotan, we love that we get four seasons here. We’ll put up with negative temperatures because we love snow on vacation, and while spring can be bitter, it allows us to shed some layers and enjoy summer, where we’ll spend most of our time on golf courses and pools. Then it’s fall, our true down season, when it’s just around the corner complete.
And, you may ask, what does this have to do with this story? Let me explain.
The weather here is also extremely unpredictable, and it often is on Memorial Day. The cold temperatures are over but the heat of late July has not yet arrived. The weather tends to fall somewhere in between but is highly variable. That’s exactly what happened this Memorial Day weekend, when a quick trip up north — everyone goes “up north” here — covered three different seasons over the course of three days. That was actually fine by me – it gave an opportunity to test the new gear from Vuori.
Known for their high quality, stylish and comfortable workwear, I snagged my first Vuori shirt a few months ago and loved it. I work from home and like to stay active, so it was a smart and seamless addition to my wardrobe. And some new items from the brand’s men’s golf collection arrived just before the Memorial Day weekend, which turned out to be perfect testing grounds.
Point Short 8″
Our Aim Short is a fairway favorite that looks great with polos, jerseys, and t-shirts.
On a 50-degree Saturday morning, Aim Trousers was ready for coffee by the pool, and right into the restaurant later that night. Lightweight and stretchy, they would be great on the golf course, too, but when the weather changed from spring to summer overnight, I switched to the Aim Shorts for pitch-and-putt with the family.
The Aim Collection (both pants/shorts are 67% Polyester, 25% Cotton and 8% Elastane) is exactly what you would want on the golf course. Casual and comfortable enough to be on vacation, formal enough for dinner and drinks and perfect for any golf course.
Strato Tech Hoodie
The incredibly soft Strato Tee has been reinvented as a hoodie. This long sleeve layer is moisture wicking, soft and perfect for sprints and spring training.
And the Sunday Element Half Zip – I love the Agate Green Heather option – goes well with the Aim Trousers, while the Strato Tech Polo – lightweight and comfortable I felt like I was wearing nothing – was the casual dressy look I needed for a nicer restaurant. Although my favorite item might be the one I used for the car ride home, the uber-soft Strato Tech Hoodie. I found it perfect for a comfortable day of travel, or you can wear it for a run or out with friends.
As with everything from Vuori, you have options. And the best part? Time. Father’s Day is fast approaching, and I don’t know what to ask for. This year? I finally have some good ideas. You can browse more on Vuori below.
