Between Christmas and New Year, days in sweats and on the sofa

Short answer: Between Christmas and New Year, sweats and the sofa are a good pairing when the clothes are soft, roomy and can be worn several days in a row. Choose a jogging set or sweat you can relax in, and socks that keep your feet warm.

The quiet days between the holidays

The days between Christmas and New Year are for many a break with no work and no fixed plans. The plan is often to relax, eat leftovers and watch something on the sofa. Those are exactly the days when clothes you do not think about at all make a difference to how calm the day feels.

Clothes you can stay in all day

When you are home for several days, the clothes should work from breakfast to bedtime. Choose something that does not need changing if someone drops by. A set that goes together is easy, and soft fabric means you forget you are wearing it.

The jogging set as a uniform

A jogging set is the easiest choice, because the top and trousers match. You can read more about bamboo jogging sets, if you want a set that is ready every morning. Choose a fit with a soft waistband, so you can eat and sit for a long time without feeling it.

Sweat in several forms

Sweat comes as hoodie, sweatshirt and sweatpants, and you can mix them as you like. That gives variety over several days without changing style. You can see bamboo sweat for men and women, if you want to see the whole range and find what suits you.

Layers for the sofa

Even in a warm room it can be draughty on the sofa, especially if you lie down. A thin layer next to the body and something you can put on and take off let you adjust. Keep a blanket you already own within reach, so you do not have to get up if the cold comes.

Socks and feet

Feet get cold quickly when you sit still, and soft socks are a small thing that does a lot. Choose a soft cuff that does not cut into the calf. See a selection among socks for men, and choose a thickness that suits your floor.

Keep moving

Days on the sofa are fine, but the body benefits from getting going a little. Take a walk in the morning and wear something that is nice to move in. When you get home, you can change into dry clothes and return to the sofa. Small breaks make the day more relaxed.

Washing and care between the holidays

When you wear the same clothes several days in a row, they need washing often. Wash following the care label, usually at a low temperature and without fabric softener, which can leave a film on the fabric. Hang them to dry between wears so they stay fresh, and you do not depend on the tumble dryer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear the same jogging set several days in a row?

Yes, if it is clean and has no stains, but it helps to have two sets so you can switch while one is washed. Air the clothes between wears and wash following the care label.

Which fit is best for days on the sofa?

Choose a soft waistband and a little extra room around the stomach and shoulders. The clothes should not press when you sit or lie down, so you can relax without thinking about them.

How do I keep my feet warm on the sofa?

Use soft socks with a cuff that does not squeeze, and choose the thickness to suit the floor. A blanket over your legs also helps if you lie down or sit still for a long time.
