nss shopping guide: 10 items you need but don't know yet
"Less is more"
April 18th, 2019
We all know it but we find it hard to admit, simplicity always wins, on all fronts, even in outfits.
The concept of basic clothing has taken on a completely different meaning in recent years: it has become cool. The simpler an item, the easier it is to match, the cooler it is.
The idea "Less is more" is simple, the phrase coined by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was inspired by a principle: the "more" is obtained by focusing on the concept of essentiality (the minus). So at nss magazine, we decided to put together 10 simple and essential items that you need but you don't know yet. They will become your objects of desire.
Nike M NRG Hoodie Po
Back to the '90s. This hoodie is a remake of the hooded sweatshirts that Nike was producing between the 90s and 2000s. Slightly oversized, soft and quality fabric with a mini Swoosh. This you can't not have.

Patagonia has produced one small but not too much, perfect to put all the things of daily use in it and that when you don't need it you can fold and put it in your pocket. Nice!
