Clothing for an afternoon that drags on
Short answer: An afternoon that drags on calls for clothes that can be worn for many hours without bothering you. Soft sleepwear or a thin long sleeved T-shirt gives comfort, and an extra layer keeps the warmth in as the day moves towards evening.
When the afternoon gets long
Some afternoons pass quickly, and others drag on. Perhaps you are waiting for visitors, at a long dinner or sitting at a desk while time passes slowly. Then the comfort of your clothes matters, because you notice it more when the day takes a long time. What is pleasant for half an hour can be a nuisance after four. Choose clothes that do not pinch, itch or roll up.
Sleepwear that can stay on in the daytime
If you are at home, sleepwear can be a good choice for a long afternoon, if it is soft and not too thin. See bamboo sleepwear for women. Choose a set you can sit in for a long time without feeling waistbands, and that does not require you to change if someone drops by. Many add a layer such as a cardigan, so they can also answer the door.
A long sleeved T-shirt for warmth and peace
A long sleeved T-shirt gives warmth around the arms when the afternoon turns cool, and can be worn alone or under a jumper. See women's long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt. Choose one with a soft cuff that does not pinch, so you can read or write without feeling the sleeves. It is also easy to push up if you get warm.
A T-shirt when the heat comes
If the afternoon turns warm, a T-shirt is the lighter choice. See bamboo T-shirt for women. It can be worn alone and is quick to change into if you have sweated. Choose a loose fit in a smooth fabric, so you can move without feeling it. Keep an extra T-shirt at hand so you can change when the afternoon feels long.
Small things that make waiting easier
When time passes slowly, small things can help. Stand up and walk around, drink a glass of water and air the room. Change your socks or put on a thin jumper if you get cold. Listen to music, have a cup of tea and find something to do with your hands. It sounds small, but it makes the afternoon easier to get through, especially if you do not decide when it ends.
Care for clothes you wear for many hours
Clothes worn for many hours must be aired afterwards. Hang them up when you take them off and wash viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees inside out. Avoid fabric softener and a hot tumble dryer so the fabric keeps its shape. Let the garments dry flat or on a hanger. If you have several sets, you can alternate and make the clothes last longer.
