Enjoy being in your comfort zone? The comfort zone I’m referring to is a “clothing comfort zone”. It’s something we’re all guilty of… never bothering to change after your workout or saying “I’m only running to the market” and before you know it, 5 pm rolls around and you’re still in your Lululemons. Clients tell me all the time they want to get back to wearing all the amazing clothes in their closet.
It can be hard to get out of your comfort zone and start “shopping your closet” again. If you fall back on your comfy stretchy pants too long, you don’t get to wear the nice clothes you paid for, they end up becoming outdated or unfashionable and even the resale stores won’t take them. It’s a waste of money and your potential style is waiting to emerge and be worn! Below are my tips on easy swaps that are stylish and still comfortable!
Instead of a fleece try…an unstructured jacket
An unstructured jacket gives you the freedom of movement and layering but still looks more polished than a fleece pullover or a boxy sweatshirt.
Instead of a sweatshirt try…a duster

Instead of leggings try…the trendiest cut in denim
Higher waists in denim with elastane is very comfortable and all the best denim brands are incorporating this fabric and cut into their spring lines.
If you must wear leggings, then take your athleisure look from the gym to street with these looks:
A shirt-dress cinched at the waist accentuates your curves while lengthening your silhouette.
The perfect travel outfit – A leather jacket and a wide fedora – to pair with your leggings.
Try leather leggings – they’re just as comfortable but add a little extra style.
A mesh jacket and a big designer bag keeps this outfit fresh and street ready.
A cozy cardigan, longer tee and statement flats make this a great weekend outfit.
Keep it monochrome to keep your look sophisticated.
Cheers to staying comfortable and looking stylish!
