The Ultimate Guide to Comfortable Clothing

We’ve all been there – looking into our wardrobe and rifling through our drawers, just trying to find something that will feel comfortable. Whether you’re planning on lounging around the house or you’re heading out and about, feeling comfortable in your clothing can have a huge impact on your health, happiness and general day to day wellbeing. So, what can you do to make sure that you invest in items that will leave you feeling truly comfortable? Here are some suggestions that you can try out yourself.

Underwear

Underwear is an essential, but all too many of us wear underwear that simply isn’t comfortable for us. Sure, lingerie is fine every once in a while, but on a day to day basis, you may want to choose something more supportive and soft on your body. You can find comfortable bras here. Start by making sure that you’re buying underwear in the right size. Different brands differ their sizes, so you should make sure you measure yourself for any new underwear you’re buying, rather than buying the same cup and back size regardless of brand. Many brands will offer complimentary fittings in-store or free returns and exchanges when shopping online to allow for you to find the right size. You should also make sure you’re getting the right support. Bralettes may not be suitable for those who require underwriting and thicker straps.

Loungewear

Loungewear is a category of clothing you should invest in for wear at home or those days where you just want to feel a little more cost. There are so many loungewear brands out there that there are countless options to choose from. Whether that’s loose dresses, shorts and tops, leggings and tops or anything else. Experiment to find what suits you and your tastes best.

Athleisure

Another popular category for comfortable clothes is athleisure. Put simply, this is a combination of athletic wear and leisure wear. Common examples include yoga pants and tracksuits. Many people opt for athleisure wear on days where they will largely be relaxing, but may want to head out to complete routine chores (such as grocery shopping) or meet friends in casual settings (such as visiting a friend at their home). These are comfortable clothes that are socially acceptable for casual settings and scenarios.

Indoor Footwear

Many of us remove our shoes when we spend time inside our homes. This is logical. Not only is it generally more comfortable to remove hard-soled footwear when you’re spending time at home, but it can help to maintain your property too. Footwear worn outside can bring dirt into your property, grinding dirt into carpets or marking hardwood and laminate flooring. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to go barefoot either, which can be cold for your feet and hard floors can be hard wearing on your soles. Instead, it’s a good idea to have a variety of indoor footwear options to choose from. These are designed for indoor wear and have comfort at the heart of their design. The most common option is slippers. There are countless styles and designs available. From hard soled slippers to soft soled ones. You may also be interested in slipper socks or comfortable, warm, fluffy socks.

Outdoor Footwear

Outdoor footwear tends to be more hardy to cope with different types of hard or even surfaces you may walk across. But this doesn’t mean that they have to be uncomfortable. You should shop around and try different footwear on before buying. The key to comfortable footwear is to make sure that you’re buying your footwear in the right size. Footwear that is too big can put strain on your feet and ankles, as you try to hold them in place, and can also result in trips and falls. Footwear that is too small can pinch, rub and damage the structure of your feet. Make sure you always buy footwear in the right size.

Accessories

There are plenty of accessories out there that have been specially designed with comfort in mind. For colder or cooler months, big, knitted jumpers can add a cosy feel. There are also wraps and shawls that can be used to provide extra warmth and comfort while out and about. Scarves, hats and gloves fit in this category too.

Dressing comfortably is possible – you just need to invest in the right areas. Hopefully, some of the suggestions above will prove useful to you. Give some of them a try and see how you get on.
