Sooner or later, it's going to happen. You will drop a bottle of nail polish, it will shatter, and you will experience a quivering out of body anxiety attack as you watch the shiny color cover the (probably white) surface.

We say this: Don't Panic!

It's happened to us (see photo, sigh, that was our favorite color) and we're happy to share our research findings with you.

Just like with running shoes, yoga togs get worn out, but it's hard to remember to replace them. Take a look at your current yoga wardrobe and see if some of those elastic bands have a little less snap than you remembered, and maybe are just a bit less "fresh" than you would like.

Yes, it's time to jazz up your downward dog by investing in a new pair of yoga pants.

Guys, I think we've all seen the commercials for stain-defending pants, and darn it, we sometimes need protection from our clumsy selves. We need it for the time we're on a date and drop a glob of spaghetti sauce in our laps. We need it for the time we're kicking back on the couch watching television and fumble the nachos right onto our new khakis.

Last, but not least, we need it -- as I found out last night -- for the time we're at the bar having a beer with the guys, and someone knocks your fresh-poured brew right back onto your favorite pair of shorts. Thank goodness for Nano-Tex. This stuff is worked into lots of fabrics these days, as a "chemical enhancement, attached at the molecular level" to defend against stains.

This addition to your clothing provides you with the ease of mind that stains won't be, well, stains. And it almost makes your clothes liquid-proof.

Don't worry. You won't appear to be preparing for a flood with plastic rain gear or anything. Nano-Tex is being used by some of the most popular clothing companies in your standard good-looking clothes. Eddie Bauer, Gap, Old Navy, Levi's, Lee, L.L.Bean, Bass Pro Shops, Perry Ellis, Nautica, and other companies use this cool technology.

Here's a couple of my favorite products equipped with Nano-Tex:
1. Stressfree relaxed fit pleated khakis from Gap
2. This Herringbone shirt from Eddie Bauer
