There’s a particular kind of confidence that comes from getting dressed in something that feels good. Not just physically (though comfort is non-negotiable for me), but emotionally. When what I’m wearing reflects how I want to feel and who I want to be that day, it’s a quiet kind of power. I don’t get dressed for the world. I get dressed for me.
Over the years, I’ve found that my best days usually start with an outfit that doesn’t force me to choose between style and comfort. It’s taken some trial and error (and plenty of closet cleanouts), but I’ve discovered a rhythm that works, and I think it might work for you too.
Here’s how I approach getting dressed to feel put together, grounded, and myself, all day long.
Why Neutrals Are My Go-To
Let’s start with color. My wardrobe leans heavily on a palette of neutrals: think soft taupes, earthy olives, crisp whites, and grounded blacks and charcoals. Neutrals are the foundation of my style because they do a few things really well:
1. They simplify decision-making. When most of your closet works together, you can mix and match without overthinking it.
2. They age well. Trends come and go, but a great black tank or an oatmeal-toned pant holds its own season after season.
3. They highlight texture and shape. When you’re not distracted by loud prints or clashing colors, the focus shifts to the silhouette and the feel of the fabric—two things we pay close attention to at Losano.
Plus, neutrals naturally create a calm visual energy, which is exactly how I want to feel when I’m juggling work, family, and everything in between.
Mixing Comfort and Polish
Comfort is non-negotiable. But I’ve learned that with the right layering and details, you can absolutely make comfort look intentional, even elevated.
Here’s my secret formula:
Athleisure base + Structured topper or standout accessory = Effortless polish.
For example:
• A SculptLux legging and Renew Rib tank (both buttery soft, breathable, and designed for movement) paired with an oversized trench coat and sleek sneakers? Instant polish.
• A matching set in a textured neutral with a leather tote and gold hoops? Chic and relaxed.
• A drawstring jogger with a sculpted long-sleeve top, pulled together with a clean bun and a swipe of tinted lip balm? Just right for a work-from-home meeting or a coffee run.
It’s not about being “dressed up”—it’s about looking like you put thought into your outfit without sacrificing ease. That balance is where the magic happens.
My Favorite Outfit Formulas
Having go-to outfit formulas takes the guesswork out of mornings. Here are a few combinations I lean on:
1. The Soft Set + Statement Layer
• Why it works: A monochrome matching set acts like a blank canvas. Throw on a tailored blazer, an oversized cardigan, or even a trench and you’re done.
• Where I wear it: Office, travel days, casual meetings.
2. Tank + Wide-Leg Pants + Sneakers
• Why it works: It’s unfussy but sharp. The silhouette gives you movement, the tank shows just enough shape, and sneakers keep it grounded.
• Where I wear it: Everyday errands, working from a café, dinner with friends.
3. Bike Shorts + Button-Up + Crossbody Bag
• Why it works: Sporty meets structured. The shirt adds length and structure, while the shorts keep it casual and comfy.
• Where I wear it: coffee dates, weekend walks, or styled up for brunch.
These combos aren’t just about style—they support how I move through my day. They’re made to flex with the rhythm of real life, from school runs to studio meetings to spontaneous hangs with my friends.
Dressing Well For You
I used to think that getting “dressed up” was something you did for other people—some form of signaling or presentation. But over time, I’ve realized that the right outfit can shift your energy in the most personal, grounded way.
Getting dressed is now part of my self-care.
It’s an act of respect for my time and energy.
It’s a small way of saying, “Today matters. I matter.”
There’s freedom in choosing clothes that support how you want to feel. For me, that’s usually calm, present, and put together—even if the day gets chaotic. When I dress in clothes that fit my body and my life, I move differently. I speak more clearly. I feel more aligned.
Final Thoughts
Style doesn’t need to be high-maintenance. It doesn’t need to be trendy or performative. It just needs to feel like you.
At Losano, every piece we design is rooted in that belief: that style and comfort are not at odds. That sustainable, quality clothing can simplify your life, not complicate it. That getting dressed should be easy—and even a little joyful.
So the next time you’re standing in front of your closet, wondering what to wear, start with this question:
What do I want to feel like today?
Then build from there.
I’ll be doing the same—with a soft tank, wide-leg pants, and maybe a good cup of coffee in hand.
Health & Happiness,
