Clothing for the lunch break
Short answer: The lunch break is a pause in the middle of the day when you eat, sit still and perhaps take a short walk. Clothes that are easy to move in and do not become uncomfortable after a meal make the break more relaxed.
After a meal the body feels heavy
After you have eaten, the body uses energy for digestion, and many people feel tired and want to sit still. That is why clothes with a soft waistband and room around the stomach matter. Tight trousers and stiff edges can feel unpleasant when you sit with a full stomach. Choose a fit that gives room without looking as though you have put on a blanket. That applies whether you eat at the desk, in the canteen or on a bench outside.
Loungewear for the working from home day
If you work from home, the lunch break can be the moment you change into more relaxed clothes, provided you have no meetings for the rest of the day. Loungewear in viscose from bamboo is soft and lies smoothly against the skin. It can be used for sitting at the kitchen table as well as for a short trip down to the post box. See bamboo loungewear for women. Take care not to become too casual if you have a video meeting later. Keep a smarter top within reach.
A set for both break and walk
A short walk in the lunch break is a good way to get fresh air and move the body. If you want to walk after eating, a jogging suit is a good choice, because it does not pinch and gives freedom of movement. See bamboo jogging suit for women. Take a thin jacket or a windproof top if the weather is cold. Change into shoes you can walk comfortably in, and keep a dry layer in your bag in case you sweat on the way.
When you want to follow the sale
The lunch break is also the time when many people look at clothes. If you want to see which items are currently reduced, you can look at the sale for women, where the range changes over time. Give yourself time to look at the size guide and read the material details before you put anything in the basket. Think about whether you need the clothes and whether they go with what you already have. A twenty minute break is enough to get an overview, but not to make a big decision.
Care of clothes after a day with meals
Lunch can leave stains, especially on light tops. Rinse a fresh stain in cold water as soon as you can, and avoid rubbing hard. Wash viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees and leave out fabric softener. Let the garments dry flat or on a hanger, and make sure they do not hang in direct sun for long. A small stain is easier to remove if it is treated straight away than if it sits for several days, so keep a napkin or a small cloth within reach.
