Whether you’re headed to the office or planning to hit the town, the past year has certainly led most of us to prioritize comfort above style. After all, we have spent so much time at home, often only wearing professional attire from the waist up – and that’s only if we’re expected to have cameras on! As we slowly start to return to normalcy, the benefits of comfort can’t help but stick around. Many comfortable outfits require less effort, are more versatile, and feel better, which can lead to better productivity for some!
Even if you personally feel more productive when you do dress up, there are plenty of ways you can meet comfort in the middle! Read on to learn more about some of our favorite fashion trends that both look great and feel great.
Flowy t-shirts are everything.
While a baggy shirt might sometimes be mistaken for a pajama top on the surface, there are ways to transform it into a truly elevated look. With the right accessories and pairings, you can make a flowy tee really stand out. Try wearing a graphic t-shirt over leggings with your favorite pair of boots, some hoop earrings, and a few layered necklaces. This look can be concocted for any number of themes: casual, grunge, dressy…the choice is yours!
If you’re in need of inspiration, we love the unique tie-dye offerings available at JamminOn!
You can also tuck one of your favorite tees into a skirt of any length. Speaking of…
Skirts = more freedom of movement.
Who doesn’t love being able to move their legs more freely? Especially as we enter the summer season in Las Vegas, it can be nice to avoid that sticky, sweaty feeling that can often come with long pants or denim. Skirts can be dressed up or down, and come in a wide variety of lengths and patterns, so they can definitely be chosen to suit your personal style! They’re easy to pair with tees, tanks, and blouses of all kinds. Whether you select a maxi, midi, or mini is up to you.
One-piece wear is the way to go.
One of the easiest ways to achieve an effortlessly elevated style? One-pieces. Dresses, rompers, and jumpsuits can be easier to dress up since you don’t have to worry about matching tops and bottoms. Also, they tend to be flowy with a relaxed fit, which results in added comfort.
Like skirts, they come in a range of styles, so not to worry – if one-piece outfits pique your interest, there’s sure to be something out there for you.
To keep the evening breeze at bay, place your favorite jacket, cardigan, or blazer on top. If you like feeling a little less bare underneath the flowy fabric, you can always add some layers there as well! Bike shorts add some extra security and versatility to dresses while also helping to prevent chafing, for instance. On the flip side, wearing a t-shirt underneath can add a unique touch to dressy attire. Tees and blouses are an especially popular pairing with slip dresses.

Elevate your athleisure.
You might not consider athleisure to be very dressy, but it certainly can be! When matched with a nice pair of sneakers, a cute jacket, and some glitzy jewelry, a comfortable leggings-and-sports-bra set can transform into the perfect night-out attire. This is especially useful for someone who’s always on the go. Going from day to night is a breeze; you can start your morning with an exercise routine, and end your evening with a margarita at your favorite restaurant, without once having to go home and change.
For some one-of-a-kind accessories, try perusing the selections at Neon Cactus Vintage and Rockin’ Bettie.
Set the skinny jeans aside (if you want to).
Seeing skinny jeans go out of style can be heart-wrenching, especially for those of us who genuinely find them more comfortable and flattering than the alternatives! However, for some people, they feel far too compressive and limiting. Looser jeans, like high-waisted “mom jeans,” can give you far more legroom. Another option is to lose the denim entirely and opt for a different style of pant, especially if they have an elastic waistband. This provides much more freedom of movement, and many styles are perfectly appropriate for both work and play!
