In the quest for fashion that stands out, many people believe they have to choose between comfort and style. It’s either a pair of killer heels that highlight your legs but hurt your feet, or a pair of sneakers that tick all the comfort boxes but forgo that sense of chic.

Thankfully, you don’t need to sacrifice one for the other. In this article, we offer tips to help you effortlessly blend your sense of comfort with style, allowing you to feel good about your fashion choices while still making a statement.

Choose Quality Fabrics

Your choice of fabrics can transform even the most basic outfit into a stunning ensemble that exudes sophistication and style. The right material will not only feel great against your skin, allowing you to feel completely comfortable in it, but will also drape beautifully, creating a flattering silhouette and heightened sense of style.

Quality fabrics such as cashmere, breathable linens, and cotton look and feel luxurious to the touch, allowing for a comfortable yet polished look that works well with simple outfits so you can feel at ease while still looking chic. 

Opt for Flattering Fits

Style does not have to equate to discomfort. Instead of restrictive or uncomfortable clothing that meets the latest trends, opt for garments that flatter your physique and accentuate your best features. Comfortable clothing need not be limited to oversized sweaters or a pair of baggy jeans, but rather those items that gently hug the contours of your body while allowing you freedom of movement such as those at Grey State Apparel.

This may include a wrap dress that draws attention to your waist while providing a relaxed and easy feel or a pair of tailored trousers that give structure and a silhouette to your lower body without being overly tight.

Accessorize

Accessories are one of the best ways to introduce a sense of style to an outfit while allowing for maximum comfort. These fashion allies can instantly add a note of elegance and sophistication to even the most basic ensemble and encompass a variety of items such as scarves, sunglasses, hats, and jewelry.
