Life is Too Short to Continue Wearing Uncomfortable Clothes
From wired bras, too-tight jeans and denim skirts — why do we continue wearing clothes that don’t make us happy?
We’ve all seen the jokes about going on a work call where we pair pyjamas on the bottom, with a picture-perfect blouse on the top. It’s become somewhat of a pandemic cliche to be living in sweatpants, non-wired bras, and baggy t-shirts.
This got me thinking — why do we bother wearing tight, possibly uncomfortable clothes in the first place?
By all means, if you feel more comfortable in tight-fitting, slender hugging clothes, then feel free to ignore this completely. But for everyone who is dreading going back to normal life and squeezing into skin-tight, slinky, skinny jeans — I’ve got your back — I don’t want to go back to them either.
Why should we?
Who Are we Wearing these ‘Flattering’ Clothes For?
I remember being curled up on the sofa on a weekday evening, watching Gok’s Fashion Fix with my mum as a teenager. The show's premise was to transform women who felt ‘frumpy’ into glamorous, figure hugged works of art.
