Combining Comfort with Style
We’re all guilty of relying on our comfy clothes, and this year more than ever. Whether it’s for a trip to the shops or simply lounging around the house, comfort is key! There really is nothing better than slipping into your favourite slippers and loungewear when you’re at home and, if like many people, you’ve found yourself turning to comfort over style lately, don’t fear! At Kit and Kaboodal, our range is designed to make you look AND feel great, with soft fabrics, warm layers and footwear that you can wear all day.
We don’t want our Kit and Kaboodal ladies to have to compromise when it comes to comfort and style, so we’ve asked the team for their top tips on how to wear comfy clothes and stay stylish – day and night.
Comfort all day long
For the ultimate daytime comfort, we just can’t get enough of our leggings. Perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth when you’re not quite ready to brave bare legs, we’ve made our leggings extra comfortable with stretchy materials and an elasticated waistband. If you’re already living in your leggings, why not get creative with your colours? A pair of burgundy leggings will give any outfit a pop whilst ensuring you still enjoy the comfort.
Leggings are a great base for any outfit, so it’s time to start layering to create that perfect balance of comfort and style. At Kit and Kaboodal, we’re mad about tunics as they’re the perfect choice for a day running errands or hitting the shops. The long length and flattering shape skim the body, creating a flattering silhouette that will never go out of style.
Opt for a bold block-colour tunic that pops against the dark shade of your leggings, or if you’re wearing colourful leggings, choose a patterned tunic that complements the shades within the print.
Daytime footwear can be tricky, but luckily our ladies’ trainers are designed to be comfortable, sturdy and stylish! In this look, we’ve added our Kit and Kaboodal Binky Trainers that add some on-trend animal print to your look!
Finish your ensemble with a clutch bag and other accessories such as necklaces and bracelets, and voila! You have the perfect daytime look to keep you both comfortable and stylish.
“This look is perfect for taking you from coffee with friends to doing the school run! The beauty of a tunic is that it is loose and lightweight, making it perfect for layering now, or wearing as is in summer! Leggings work perfectly with this style to slim the body back in at the knee to avoid a ‘tentʼ look!”
Comfort all night long
When you’re planning an outfit for an evening out, comfort isn’t always at the forefront of your mind! Whether you’re heading out for a meal with family or catching up with old friends over a glass of wine, many people simply grin and bear their uncomfortable footwear or glamorous attire. At Kit and Kaboodal we love getting dressed up for an evening out, but here’s our secret – we never compromise on comfort OR style.
By carefully layering fabrics, colours and styles, it’s easy to build an effortlessly stylish evening outfit that won’t have you mentally willing the clock to go faster so you can get home to your loungewear!
Jeans may not be your first choice when it comes to comfy clothes, but our Only Skinny Jeans are a perfect choice! Crafted from super-soft denim, these jeans hug the figure without leaving you feeling restricted. Available in a range of denim shades including black, white and classic blue, they’re the perfect base for any evening outfit.
For the top, we love our Made In Italy Baines Top.featuring a cowl neckline, short sleeves with rolled back detailing and split in the side for maximum comfort.
Footwear can be tricky when you know you’re going to be out for a long time, especially if you’re planning on hitting the dancefloor! But wherever you’re headed for the evening, you can’t go wrong with a pair of chic Chelsea boots – whether you opt for flats or add some height with a heel, this sleek style of boot is perfect for a smart-casual ensemble. The best thing about these versatile boots is that you can dress them up or down and they’re perfect for day to night styling. Our Kit and Kaboodal Ashford Boots look great paired with skinny jeans or dresses, and you can guarantee all-night comfort thanks to our premium design.
“If you buy the right style of shoes you can wear them day and night. Our main aim at Kit and Kaboodal is finding comfortable footwear at an affordable price. We stock platforms and block heels for comfort but also lots of great flats, from sandals and loafers to ballet pumps and boots. As Marilyn said ‘give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world’”.
