Clothes when you are with someone in hospital

Short answer: Long days in a hospital are warm and spent sitting. Clothes in layers you can take off, and soft fabrics without hard seams, make the days more bearable.

The heat indoors

Hospital corridors are warm. A thin layer innermost keeps you dry. See bamboo vest for women.

Layers

A top you can take off covers the change between corridor and waiting room. See sweat clothing.

Sitting for hours

Soft trousers without hard seams are more comfortable than jeans. See bamboo sweatpants for women.

Socks

The feet get warm when you sit still. See all bamboo socks for women.

A change of clothes

A clean set at home for after the day makes the transition easier.

For men

See the corresponding pieces in bamboo t-shirts for men.

An extra layer in the bag

The wait can be long, and the temperature changes between departments. A thin top in the bag covers both. See bamboo tops for women.
