Clothing for people who get up early
Short answer: When the alarm rings before sunrise, clothes need to be easy to put on, comfortable against the skin and warm enough for a cold morning. A few simple layers and a fixed order make the first hours easier.
The cold start to the morning
Early mornings are often the coldest hours of the day, especially in autumn and winter, when the house is not warm yet. The body is still relaxed from sleep and produces less heat, so many people feel cold in the first minutes. It helps to lay out your clothes the evening before so you do not have to search in the dark. Clothes that have lain near the radiator or in the bed are also nice to put on.
Layers you can take off along the way
When you are up early, you often move from a cool room to a warm bus or office, and the temperature changes several times. Thin layers are therefore more useful than one thick one. Start with a soft layer next to the body and add a jumper and a jacket that you can take off when you warm up. See what is gathered under Lindbergh if you want more pieces for your layers. It is easier to adjust than to change the whole outfit.
A bodysuit as the first layer
A bodysuit is a simple layer that sits close and cannot ride up at the stomach when you move. See bamboo bodysuit. It fits under dresses, trousers and skirts and gives a smooth base so that outer clothes hang well. Choose a model with sleeves if the morning is cold, or without sleeves if you warm up quickly. It goes on fast, which helps when time is short.
Panties that do not nag
When the day starts early, you do not want to think about your underwear. Choose panties with flat seams and a soft waistband that does not press when you sit in the car or on the bike. See bamboo panties. A fabric that lets moisture escape is pleasant if you walk fast to catch the train. Have several identical pairs so that you can take a clean one without searching.
Routines that save time
Early mornings reward steady habits. Lay out your clothes in the evening, arrange the drawers so that underwear and socks lie together, and have a fixed place for keys and bag. The fewer decisions you have to make while you are still sleepy, the easier the day starts. Many people find that five minutes of good routine in the evening saves twenty minutes of stress in the morning.
Care for clothes worn every day
Clothes that are worn every morning must cope with frequent washing. Wash viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees, turn it inside out and avoid fabric softener. Hang the laundry up in the evening so that it is dry by the next morning, and avoid high heat in the tumble dryer. With several identical pieces you can rotate them, so that none wears out too fast and clean clothes are always ready.
