Sure, I still love jeans and dresses, but I also love feeling comfortable in a way those pieces won't let me.
There's a big part of me that's dreading the end of winter. Not because I like snow or ice or cold temperatures, and not because I'm anti-summer attire . I don't like boots or bulk or an abundance of layers, and my laziness prohibits me from taking gloves on and off, regardless of how chapped my hands may get. But this time around, I learned to embrace a new definition of comfort.
So, I learned what it meant to be cozy, and the joy of being wrapped in fleece and warmth. I finally embraced the art of sweatsuits. And even on the other side of the winter, I'm not ready to let them go. While the Kar-Jenners in no way invented athleisure, they did succeed at making its newfound sleekness trendy. However, the most recent incarnation of comfort-wear has divorced itself from the slickness of Calabasas chic. Now, it seems uninterested in ensuring its wearers seem streamlined or sleek. In fact, sweats today command the opposite: They're bulky, oversized, roomy and largely shapeless.
At no point did I want anyone to think that I didn't care about the way I looked. I aspired to exude a particular definition of maturity and confidence and forfeited the way I really wanted to dress sometimes in lieu of sending an aesthetic message that I had my shit together 24/7. I was a woman in slacks, jeans and dresses. I could never give away that I was a human person who wanted to be swaddled in the softest of cotton or privy to an elastic waist that let me bloat.
