On Monday, June 1, Carter made a statement on Instagram directed at “fashion house’s and CEOs.”

Now that it’s starting to truly feel like summer in most parts of the country, it’s getting to be too hot for all the heavy loungewear we stocked up on several months ago and beyond that, many of us are tiring of wearing the same sweatpants over and over (myself included).
