Nick, who is the founder of the creative agency Coastal Flicks, likes to focus on the seemingly small things. Thinking about things like high-quality bed sheets, or a sustainably made stylish t-shirt, can really improve your quality of life. Nick’s curated list of elevated staples can help you make small changes that’ll pay off in a big way.
“I think there are certain products in your everyday life that most people might neglect or overlook. However, small adjustments to elevate these products pay off in a bigger way than most people might respect. For instance, new, high quality bed sheets can improve a persons sleep more than I even realized. It’s the little things sometimes and that’s why these products are important to me.”

A Summer Staple With a Twist
I chose the Palm Contrast shirt because it’s such a clean shirt with a little twist in the details. I’m a big fan of products that seem simple and clean but have a little twist to them. Almost giving them a bit of character setting them apart from the others.
