How to Dress Great and Still Be Comfortable

You don't have to wear baggy sweatpants and old, ratty tennis shoes all day long to be comfortable. You can dress great and still be comfortable; it's all about choosing the right clothing. Here's how to choose the right clothing so you can dress great and still be comfortable.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Know the colors that complement your skin tone. If you have naturally pale skin, the colors of your tops should accentuate the ivory and peachy tones of your skin and not make you look translucent.

2. Get pants that fit. Finding the right pair of pants involves more than going by the size number on the tag. The waistline of the pants should be around your natural waist line. The rise should hit around your belly button and the leg should end around the middle of the heel of your shoe.

3. Find the right shirt. Comfortable-fitting shirts should have no button strain and ample armpit room. The top seam of the shirt sleeve should rest where your shoulder begins to bend into your arm and the sleeve should end just below the wrist bone.

4. Wear skirts. Fit skirts in the waist as you would pants (described in Step 2). Also make sure the length of the skirt ends between your knee and mid-calf. Any shorter or longer than knee to mid-calf length and skirts will not be comfortable.

Tips & Warnings

• Simple details on jackets and shirts such as darting or rouching add texture to your clothing.
• Avoid heavily patterned clothing because these types of shirts, dresses and skirts are difficult to match with other clothes. They also tend to look too busy and accentuate problem areas.
