Aiken Clothing

Keeping things light and playful has always been our goal at Aiken, cuz we love a smiling face.

Today, however, we’re going to throw a little shade at the injustices of the Justice (looking at you SCOTUS), and do a little something to help fight the good fight.

Being a gay owned and operated business has always been part of who we are, like being left handed or having freckles, but with the attacks on our community and rights we fought for under attack, it’s time to shine a light on our very gay store and help bring some sanity back to our very damaged justice system.

To that end, we are donating half all the proceeds from our Gay Weather Forecast Tee to , as the courts are a key battleground, with every right we’ve gained at stake.

Oh, and it’s a kick ass tee as well. Look good doing good.

Shop this tee online, or at our store at 1809 Fourth St. in Berkeley. We're open seven days a week, 11 am to 6 pm.

You are what you wear. Make a difference.

Ok, we know it’s not traditional gift giving season, but just got a bunch of great wallets from our favorite Dutch wallet maker, , and feel the need to share.

They don’t have to be a gift, even though they are an excellent gift. Perhaps it’s a treat for yourself, because you’re awesome and deserve a really cool, unique wallet.

Added bonus, the aluminum case provides RFID protection, the sustainably-sourced leather or vegan leather covers are fab looking and they’re made in Holland, the world's happiest place.

Sometimes it’s good to leave a good thing alone. It just can’t be improved. Or so you think. Then out pops product 2.0 and you look and say, “I stand corrected”.

Case in point, the fabulous slip on shoes from sustainable Danish designer, , called the Tulip.

We have sold thousands of pairs over the past few years. Now they’ve gone and changed it. Added a platform sole.

And, we are here for it. Great looking, fun and functional, still that wonderful comfort, but just a bit more stylish.

We have noticed a trend in the store lately that is surprising, but in a good way: women are gravitating toward bold colors.

This is very out of character for the Bay Area, where gray is considered a pop of color.

We get it. After being cooped up too long, it’s time to shine.

Yes, another made up holiday is coming up, and yes, we are just going to go ahead and embrace it.

Fathers, father figures, or just someone who makes you feel good, are all ready to be recognized and celebrated, so let’s get to it.

We know wallets, socks and underwear are stereotypical and obvious, but we have really cool sustainable ones, which make it ok to get, in our humble opinion, as well as other great gift ideas.

Although strangely chilly for May here in Northern California, we are feeling confident that Spring warmth will arrive soon.

It better, because we have some great easy, sophisticated outfits to get on some bodies.

We particularly love the new striped denim from . Straight leg, with a frayed hem, they are casual yet classy (yes, classy) and pair perfectly with an oversized button down shirt from .

Add a pop of color with ultra comfy Tulip slip ons in warm yellow and a vegan handbag, and you’re ready for something Springy.

Whatever it may be.

We just received a new batch of amazing printed tights from , our favorite sustainable workout brand, so thought it would be a good idea to let you know.

Coincidentally, we also just received some new colors in our favorite workout shoes, the Cloud X, from .

Also coincidentally, those tights and shoes look kind of fabulous together. We know working out can be a pain (literally), so you might as well look good while pretending to enjoy it. 😉.

With the tagline "quietly killing the competition, but never the planet", we were instantly in love with , a bold, beautiful activewear line made right here in the USA.

The prints are strong and wonderful, meant to stand out and be seen. But, honestly, how could you not want to be seen in these?

Purchase any piece of this bold & beautiful active wear line online, or if you can make it to our store in Berkeley at 1809 Fourth Street, we're open from 11 am and 6 pm.

Today, we want to celebrate the amazing denim program has set up, using organic cottons, eco friendly washing techniques and a totally crazy lifetime guarantee on all stitching, rivets, zippers, buttons.

Two great fits (the Ambassador Slim Fit or the Local Straight Fit), lots of shades of blue (and black and grey) to choose from and choice of stretch or selvedge. Worth a try don’t you think? .

How about some great gift ideas with a nod to sustainability, specifically those made from organic cotton.

Aside from being a lot friendlier to the environment (e.g., less water used, not a drop of insecticides or pesticides), it just feels better, softer and stronger.

As always, thanks for opting for thoughtful gifts this season. It truly makes a difference and we appreciate it.

We are always happy to see a line we appreciate move in a more sustainable direction.

We are also pleased when we start carrying that line and possibly, wear it ourselves.

Which is why we are happy to bring into the Aiken mix. We love the soft, casual beach vibe, great fits and excellent use of organic cotton.

Our favorite look for the season is layering the Slub Cotton Hoodie in white under the Knit Seasons shirt in indigo, for an easy, handsome Fall look. Probably want to wear pants with this look as well, so throw on a pair of DL 1961 Russell brushed cotton in Prussian Blue to complete the look.

Want to be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?

Well the new Tulip 140 from won’t exactly help you with that, but they will put a spring in your step. And you’ll look like a million.

With a sleeker design, these Tulips are even more comfortable than the original. Slip them on and travel the world ... or just your neighborhood.

Even better, you can throw them in the wash to freshen their look (just remove the insole).

And of course, we wouldn't offer them if they didn't have some sustainable credentials (the uppers are made from 100% recycled material).

The Tulip comes in a gorgeous buffet of colors. Collect them all (as many of our customers do).

Yes, Fall is just around the corner and in the fashion world, the Fall shipments are on the way.

But wait, there are still a few good months of warm weather ahead with lots of safe, fun, outdoor activities to enjoy.

With that in mind, we are pleased to say our two favorite dresses of the season are back in stock and ready to party. The Jodoh wrap dress and Senja dress, both by , were big hits and sold out quickly, so imagine our joy when they became available again.

Both styles are easy to wear and are ready for pretty much any occasion. There's still plenty of time and hopefully, events, to look amazing before summer blows away.

Order these dresses here, or if you want to venture out, our store at 1809 Fourth Street in Berkeley is open seven days a week, from 11 am to 6 pm.
