Clothes for people who are on the move from morning to night
Short answer: If you are on the move all day, your clothes need to keep up from early morning to late evening. Choose soft, breathable layers that do not crease and are easy to switch between.
A long day demands flexible clothes
A day from morning to night can include everything from a bike ride and meetings to dinner and an outing in town. Clothes need to cope with changing temperatures, movement and long hours. It is therefore smart to think in layers and in pieces that can serve several purposes. Choose pieces that are smart enough for work and comfortable enough for the evening, so you do not have to keep changing.
Underwear that lasts the whole day
Underwear is the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off. Choose a soft, breathable material that does not chafe or squeeze, so you can forget about it. See bamboo panties. Seamless or flat stitched styles show less under close fitting clothes. Keep a spare pair in your bag if you know the day will be long or warm, so you can change at midday.
Layers for changing temperatures
From cold morning air to warm offices and cool evenings, the temperature changes many times. A thin inner layer, a jumper and an outer layer that can be removed let you adjust. See bamboo underwear for women. Choose fabrics that do not become clammy if you sweat easily, and avoid too many thick layers, which are awkward to carry.
Changing in the evening
When the day is over, it is nice to change into something soft and comfortable. A nightgown is an easy way to do it, because you simply put it on and you are done. See bamboo nightgowns for women. It gives freedom and comfort, and many find that it helps them relax after a hectic day. Choose a length and cut that suit the season and your own need for warmth.
The bag for the whole day
A small bag with a few essentials makes the day easier. Pack a pair of spare socks, a thin layer, a small bag for wet clothes and a small tube of hand cream. It takes up little room but lets you handle the unexpected, such as rain or a day longer than planned. Keep the bag light, because a heavy bag strains the neck and shoulders, and clothes can quickly start to feel uncomfortable.
Care when time is short
When the days are hectic, care needs to be simple. Choose clothes that can be washed at 30 to 40 degrees and hang them up straight away so they do not crease. Keep enough changes so that you do not have to wash every day, and air the clothes between wears. Small routines save time and make sure the clothes are always ready when you need them.
