Jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, loose skirts and dresses, and flat shoes count as comfortable clothing.
Try wearing an Argyle sweater or a skirt with polka dots on it. Flannel plaid shirts also work well.
You can buy this clothing at stores like Target, Hot Topic, and online. For example, if you like Star Wars, look for hoodies and/or T-shirts with your favorite characters on them.
If you don’t already own a button-down shirt, one can be purchased from most department stores.
If you don’t like plain sweaters, you can find sweaters with “nerdy” themes, like Star Wars. Look for a basic cotton hoodie in the color of your choice.
If you’re not into colored pants, khakis are a classic alternative. You can find eye-catching pants at stores like Hot Topic and American Apparel.
Heels that are too high will hurt your feet long-term. Stick with kitten heels or platforms if you want to wear heels. Leather sandals work well for a summery look. Measure your feet before you go shoe shopping. You want to make sure the shoes you buy give your feet enough comfort and support (and room for you to wiggle your toes, too!).
If you’re having trouble finding legwarmers, go to your local dance store to purchase a pair. Try wearing themed knee socks, like Dr. Who or Harry Potter, with a pleated skirt or long shorts.
You can even make a top hat work for you.
Choose glasses that can be worn with a variety of outfits.
Pack lightly, and switch shoulders every once and a while. Hurting your back is definitely not cool.
For shorter hair, consider slicking it back with gel.
You can find clothes at an affordable price in thrift shops.
If you don’t have a passion that you know a lot about, think of what you already like and make an effort to learn more about it.
