Fit After a Change in Weight – When Should You Update Your Wardrobe?

Short answer: Clothes after weight loss or weight gain should be updated when they start to bother you in everyday life: waistbands that squeeze or bag, shoulders that droop, and underwear that no longer sits close. Start with the underwear, because you feel it all day.

Signs That Your Wardrobe Needs Updating

If the waistband leaves deep marks, or you have to tighten drawstrings and belts by more than a couple of centimetres, the size no longer fits. Underwear that twists, bags or rides up is the clearest sign. The guide on how to find the right size in bamboo clothing helps you measure yourself again.

Start With the Innermost Layer After Weight Loss

Underwear sits directly on the body and reveals a change in weight first. So replace your bamboo underwear for men or bamboo briefs before the rest of the wardrobe. Bamboo viscose is stretchy and forgives smaller swings, so you do not need to change with every kilo.

Measure Yourself Again Instead of Guessing

After a change in weight, your old size is no longer a reliable reference. Measure your waist, chest and hips again and look them up in the brand's chart, for example the size guide for JBS of Denmark women or the men's version. That way you get it right the first time.
