The pandemic has definitely changed our approach to fashion. Since we're spending most of our time at home, comfort is paramount. However, that doesn't have to mean wearing baggy sweatpants every day. Today, I'll prove to you that you can still look good wearing comfortable clothes.
Base
If you want to feel comfortable and look unique, first create a "base" of clothes that have these qualities. This collection definitely includes a white T-shirt, a minimalist long-sleeved bodysuit , a stylish tracksuit (I'll talk about it in more detail in the next section) , a sweater, a cardigan, and comfortable pants and shoes.
The cut is key
A dress can be comfortable just as easily, depending on its cut and material. For example, a loose dress made of flowing viscose (or cupro) can be just as comfortable on vacation, during parties, or while doing household chores. Similarly, a tracksuit can be large and shapeless, or it can have interesting pants or sweatshirt construction, colorful ribbons on the hood, and a striking pattern or embroidery. When choosing more comfortable styles, consider how they look on your figure and whether they can also be worn in other situations (for example, you can pair a sweatshirt with a pleated skirt and white sneakers – a comfortable and incredibly interesting outfit).
Patterns and colors
In addition to interesting fabrics , colors are also important, as numerous studies show they affect our well-being . Saturated colors will certainly enhance any outfit and energize it. Often, a single colorful element is enough to give an outfit a boost. The same goes for various patterns, which can add a romantic/feminine touch (florals), add a touch of edge (animal prints), or elevate its atmosphere to a more retro feel (polka dots), and so on.
What fabrics and knits will provide us with softness and comfort?
Natural materials such as cotton and wool, but also lyocell, viscose, and cupro are definitely a good choice due to their breathability. I'd also like to add that we shouldn't be afraid of small (up to about 15%) admixtures of synthetic materials such as elastane, Lycra, and polyester. Synthetic admixtures add elasticity to woven/knitted fabrics and minimize the risk of creasing, thus making ironing easier.
Comfortable footwear
When we hear the phrase "comfortable footwear," we probably immediately think of running shoes or orthopedic footwear. Fortunately , the market currently offers a wide range of classic white or black sneakers that complement many outfits , as well as completely unique styles and colors that can literally "make" an entire outfit.
Extras
It's a well-known fact that accessories can transform an entire outfit. Even the simplest outfit can be transformed with accessories. For example, you can pair a tracksuit and sneakers with hoop earrings, a scrunchie, and a leather fanny pack. Don't forget about hair accessories, too, which will tame your hair (a practical solution, especially if we're talking about comfort) and add a touch of elegance and style.
Nowadays, well-being is worth its weight in gold, so I encourage you to take care of your appearance, even without any special occasion, which definitely affects our mood.
