Refresh Your Mind + Body With These Ultra-Cozy Men’s and Women’s Apparel Items

We can revitalize, modernize, and transform our wardrobes with ultra-cozy clothing. We can choose to wear clothes that have a therapeutic function– fashion that is an effortless luxury to wear. We can use fashion in order to feel less stressed, feel better, and boost our mood. 

How can we wear fashion that is in pursuit of health and wellness? How can we refresh the mind and body with clothing? When we invest in magical apparel that makes us beam, glitter, and feel fabulous. We don’t need to ‘sacrifice’ in the name of fashion. When we choose outfits that are comfortable, we are creating a way to refresh and rejuvenate the mind and body. In fact, the fabrics and fashions we choose are supporting the initiation of enlightened consciousness. 

We don’t have to save the world– but we can help others when we choose to wear more comfortable clothes. How can it help others? We help by supporting the wellness trend in fashion. The wellness trend includes athleisure and activewear apparel. Both athleisure and activewear are very popular, and it is because we want to be ultra-comfortable. How we treat our bodies is how we treat ourselves. How we dress is an extension of how we care about ourselves and others. 

So, I have selected 8 ultra-cozy apparel items that are like a “spa-treatment” for the mind and body. Included are 4 fashion products for men and 4 fashion products for women:

 

ULTRA- COZY MEN’S APPAREL

 

1. LACOSTE LIVE COTTON FLEECE SWEATPANT

The LACOSTE LIVE sweatpant is made of 100% cotton, made in a cotton fleece fabric. They are soft, warm, with a modern look. They come in soothing colors like purple and blue. These ergonomic joggers are fitted with ribbed ankles, an elasticated waistband, and side pockets. All these design details make these sweatpants ultra-comfortable. 

 

2. REI’S CABINISTE DOWN BOOTIES 

One of the warmest material types we can wear to be warm is down feathers. The REI down slipper is certified RDS (Responsible Down Standard.) These slippers are lightweight and come with foam midsoles. They are puffy and naturally-heating. Insulated down slippers will make you feel warm, and also comfort your feet in a therapeutic way.

 

3. CARHARTT BASE FORCE 100% COTTON MIDWEIGHT CREW SHIRT AND BOTTOM THERMALS

Cotton thermal tops and bottoms, or  “long underwear”  are a great way to stay warm. They can be worn underneath fleece jackets and loose joggers. These CARHARTT thermals are 100% plant-based. They are produced in cool, modern colors like black and gray. 

The cotton thermal fabric is made in a heathered, waffle, jersey-knit fabric. The waffle texture gives the body extra-warmth. Additionally, the fabric has “flex-technology” which helps the body to move comfortably. 

 

4. VINCE LINEN LONG-SLEEVE CREW

The VINCE long-sleeve crew shirt is made of 100% linen jersey knit fabric. It is lightweight, breathable, and this jersey knit fabric is very luxurious-looking when made from 100% linen. Men’s ‘woven’ linen shirts look dressy, and so do men’s linen ‘jersey knit’ shirts. This long-sleeve shirt is a great layering piece. Additionally, the raglan sleeve detail allows the armpit to breathe easily, and is, therefore, an ergonomic fashion design. 

 

ULTRA- COZY WOMEN’S APPAREL

 

1. MAGGIE’S ORGANICS COTTON FLEECE LEGGINGS 

MAGGIE’S ORGANICS fleece leggings are made from a fleeced, French terry cotton. The leggings are brushed on the inside, on the “back” of the fabric. This brushed fabric technique makes the fabric soft, extra warm, and comfortable against the skin. What is great about this product is that it is almost 100% plant-based! The fleeced, french terry cotton is made with 97% organic cotton and 3% spandex. Additionally, this product supports: fair trade, organic cotton farming, and they are certified GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).

 

2. BEYOND YOGA HEY CHAMBRAY SWEATPANT 

The BEYOND YOGA “Hey Chambray Sweatpant” is more like a trendy swegging– a sweatpant that is very fitted like leggings. They come in black color, and a washed “stormy blue” color which has a chambray texture. This fabric texture makes the sweatpants look relaxed and cozy. No doubt, these sweatpants are very trendy because they are fitted, and they have a modern ankle cuff. Additionally, they have a soft feel and come with an ergonomic drawstring waistband.

 

3. NOVICA BLACK BAMBOO CHENILLE SCARF

NOVICA has designed an ultra-plush scarf made of bamboo chenille fabric. Chenille has a beautiful, velvety, soft feel and look. This scarf comes in 100% bamboo made from rayon. This makes it even more comfortable, breathable, and divine to wear. It has a lovely fringe at the ends of the scarf. The elegant, smokey black-grey color is very therapeutic– aesthetically.

 

4. MADE TRADE ORGANIC COTTON FLEECE SWEATSHIRT

MADE TRADE has a darling GOTS certified organic cotton fleece sweatshirt in champagne color. It has cute hidden pockets and made in a modern crew neck collar. This sweatshirt has a stylish, fitted look, yet is not too tight. This sweatshirt is a modern luxury because it is made with 100% plant-based fabric. 

 

FINAL THOUGHTS

All these apparel products are casual, athleisure, sporty, and fun. The design details of each apparel item make these garments luxuriously healthy and a spa-like treatment for the body. All of these fashions are comfortable and designed with a high aesthetic appeal.

I hope these ultra-cozy fashion products ignite your own fashion inspirations and ideas. I hope they can support your current and future wardrobe. We are healthy, blessed, and centered when we wear clothing for comfort. Everyone wants to feel better, so choosing fashions, like the examples listed, will give you the support, peace, love, and an easy-going look and feel. Fashion for health and wellness is a gift for ourselves and others.
