Each morning when I get dressed, I have to make a choice: comfort or style? Luckily in the past few years, comfort in fashion has been given more importance, giving birth to trendy looks that are soft, cozy, and down-right comfy. From stretchy leggings to supportive (and decorative) sandals, I’ve searched high and low to stock my own closet with pieces that are fashionable without being too fussy. You’ll love what I found. Check out these 45 super comfy things that actually make you look nicer.
Whether you’re headed to an important business meeting or the park with friends, you deserve to be comfortable. On this list, I’ve included professional options that you won’t have to adjust all day. Look for the pull-on trousers that come in petite sizes and the lacy tank to wear under your suit. Swapping a few of your basics for elevated options with serious softness will change your attitude towards getting ready in the morning. Now you’ll get to show off your new looks at the office, rather than loathe leaving your leggings at home.
Speaking of leggings, I’ve included some more traditionally comfy options that have been upgraded to make a stylish first impression. You’ll find cool picks like a not-so-basic tee that has a stylish cut-out but fits like a worn-in T-shirt and a seamless workout set that transitions from the gym to brunch. These updated comfy finds will make you feel put together.
The line between casual wear and loungewear has been blurred and it’s time to celebrate with trending looks that you’ll actually want to wear all day long.
