Clothing for office workers who sit still all day
Short answer: Office work means many hours in the same position at the desk, often in rooms with ventilation and changing temperatures. Clothing that does not squeeze the stomach, breathes and feels calm against the skin makes the day more comfortable.
Sitting still all day
Many office workers sit for six to eight hours a day in front of a screen. The body moves little, and warmth comes more from the room than from the muscles. That means your feet can feel cold in the morning and you can get warm after lunch when the sun shines through the window. Clothing is worn for a long time without a break, so small things like a tight waistband or an itchy seam become noticeable by the end of the day.
Underwear without tight edges
When you sit down, the waistband presses against the stomach, and edges at the thighs can dig in. Underwear with a soft, wide waistband and flat seams feels better after many hours. Viscose made from bamboo is smooth and soft and absorbs moisture well, which makes it pleasant against the skin. Browse bamboo panties in several cuts, and choose a model that sits quietly while you are seated at the desk.
A whole set that goes together
It can be a good idea to think in whole sets of underwear, so you have matching items to choose from every morning. Once you have found a cut that works on the office chair, it is nice to own several of the same kind. Bamboo underwear for women includes briefs, tops and bras, so you can put together a set that suits your everyday working routine.
Movement at lunchtime
The best answer to a seated day is to move during it. Many people take a walk at lunchtime or cycle to and from work. Clothing that works both in the office and for a brisk walk makes it easier to get outside. Have a look at bamboo training clothes for women if you want tops and trousers that suit both movement and a relaxed working day at the desk.
Cold feet and warm afternoons
Many people get cold feet in the office, especially near windows and close to the floor, where cold air collects. Warm socks and closed shoes help, and a cardigan on the back of the chair can go on when the ventilation blows. In the afternoon it can get warm, so think in layers that are easy to remove. A smooth layer close to the body helps keep the skin dry as the temperature rises.
Caring for everyday clothing
Bamboo underwear and tops can usually be washed at 30 to 40 degrees. Use a mild detergent and skip the fabric softener, so the fabric keeps its soft surface and absorbency. Dry the clothes on a rack instead of in the tumble dryer, so they keep their shape for longer. If your neck, shoulders or lower back ache after long days at the desk, talk to your doctor.
