Short Story
Summer is here and it's time to show a little leg! Upgrade your comfy cargo shorts from last year with new styles at Atlas. Whether you're looking for something simple, or want to wear that bold color to compliment your summer tan, Atlas's shorts have got you covered. 

Stuck on the traditional khaki color? Try these. They've got cool black leather trim detail and the belt is included. They're made of linen, which won't be as bulky as last year's shorts and keep you cooler when the temperature's are rising.

Plaid continues to be one of the hot patterns this year, and it's made it's way to your cargo shorts. The colors in this style are easy to wear, no matter how tan (or not tan) you are.  Wear it with your flip flops or the Tretorn Espadrille slip ons.

Wear the Tropics! The pastel colors tone it down a bit so you don't look like you just got back from the islands. Don't wear it with a busy shirt, you've got enough pattern on your shorts. Try it with a simple white tee and the Tretorn Espadrille slip ons in creme.
Show off your sexy summer tan with this bold number. This bright color has been flashing down every other runway this year, and looks great with white, brown or black shoes.  Try it with a simple white, black, or grey t-shirt to tone your look down, and also keep you from looking like a glowstick.
 
 Want to skip on the cargo shorts this time? Try this pair from G-star. The pockets are all still there, the belt is still included, but they're just not as bulky. You can pair them up with just about any color since it's a neutral grey.

Why Atlas?


Whether you are a die-hard follower of fashion or just want to look good; Atlas is here to satisfy your desire to look your best.  Atlas was created because we were frustrated by the sameness of the product offered by the department and specialty stores and the inability to put together a good looking, well fitting outfit in one store.  We often shopped five stores to pull together one look.  While it may sound like fun shopping all day; we thought that the day could be better spent living a great life not trying to piece  together some random clothes and shoes.  Atlas offers complete outfits from business casual to weekend wear.  We buy from the best vendors and find appropriate Northern California style that makes us unique.  Our goal is to help you build and maintain a closet of wearable, versatile, great looking clothes that are easy to put together and let  you be your best everyday!

Time For Nixon

It's in the details. It's the little things that Nixon obsesses over from dawn 'til dusk, to get it just right for you. That's what takes a product from mere object to object of desire. The difference is knowing the difference. Check out our newest arrivals at Atlas from Nixon.

Grooming Wisdom with Baxter

Get ready for all your fun under the sun activities, but protect your skin! Whether biking in Briones or catching a Saturday concert at Wente, the sun still does nothing but harm the skin. Exposure to the sun's damaging UV rays is one of the leading causes of premature skin aging and also puts you at greater risk of developing skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that, regardless of skin type, a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 is essential for year-round use. Stop by Atlas and get your skin covered with Baxter's Super Shape with SPF 15, only $18 at Atlas.
