Comfy Chic

January 25th, 2010

We all have those days when we just crave comfort, so much so that even fashion must bow down. At least it seems that way. Actually, with the right items, you can feel comfy and look chic—and the word “sloppy” never has to enter your fashion vocabulary. Kick off your heels and read on.

Speaking of heels, most comfort seekers craft something flat and easy to move in, making sneakers an obvious choice. But wanting comfort isn’t a free pass to look like you’re on your way to a mall walkers group. We recommend owning a pair or two of trendy sneakers by Puma or Lacoste for some lucious lace-wear, or perhaps one of their Velcro designs. (What’s more comfortable than Velcro?) Plus, you can find these brands at hefty discounts at retailers like DSW.

Next, if you’re thinking of throwing a sweatshirt on over your jeans, remember that you can achieve the same amount of comfort with tons more style by choosing a cardigan instead. Available in a number of soft materials (we love Alpaca blends, but it’s all good), cardigans are a great way of saying “I’m comfortable and I care about my look.”

Similar to cardigans, knit blazers can really dress up an otherwise sloppy outfit without robbing you of any comfort. These are cut and styled exactly like regular blazers, but are made out of soft stretch materials, typically with a cotton base.

Don’t you just feel comfy already?
