Clothes for the day after the clocks change
Short answer: The day after the clocks change feels different, either because you have slept an hour more or lost one. Keep clothes simple and choose layers that are easy to take off and put on, so that the day can start calmly.
The clock change can be felt in the body
Twice a year the clocks are changed, and many people feel it in their bodies in the days after. In autumn you gain an hour, but darkness falls earlier, and in spring you lose an hour but gain lighter evenings. Whichever direction it goes, the day after can feel a little off. The body has to get used to a new rhythm, and that takes a few days, so take it easy and keep the day simple.
Sweatpants for a quiet day
On a day when the body is not quite with you, it is nice to wear something soft. See bamboo sweatpants for men. Choose a pair that does not pinch at the waist and can be worn both at home and for a walk outside. They give you peace to take the day at the pace you need, and they are easy to change out of if you have to go to something more formal later in the day.
The T-shirt as a simple layer
When the body has not found its rhythm, simple choices are best. See bamboo T-shirts for men. A T-shirt can be worn alone or under a jumper, and it is easy to take off if you get warm. Choose a fit that sits softly and change it when you have sweated. Let it air if it has not got dirty and wash it at 30 to 40 degrees when it needs washing.
The polo when you have to go out
If you have to go out to something even though you are tired, a polo is an easy way to look tidy without thinking about it. See bamboo polos for men. It can be worn alone or under a jacket and is easy to combine with trousers. Choose a fit that does not pull across the shoulders and bring a jacket if you will be out after sunset. Then you are covered however the day turns out.
Habits in the days after the change
Go to bed at the new time, even if it feels early or late, and the body will adjust faster. Take a walk in daylight, because light helps the body find its rhythm. Avoid doing too much on the first day and lay out your clothes the evening before. If you have lasting sleep problems, talk to your doctor. After a few days most people have found their rhythm again.
