Comfort and ease become genuine requirements, and neither requires giving up on looking well dressed.
Easy fastenings matter
Larger buttons, longer zip pulls and elasticated waists that still look tailored make dressing quicker and less frustrating.
Temperature regulation changes
Layers that are easy to add and remove matter more than any single warm garment.
Support without the orthopaedic look
Good shoes with real support are widely available and no longer look medical. This is where comfort pays most.
Where to focus
Where to focus
- Trousers with a comfortable rise and a neat elasticated back
- Cardigans rather than pullovers, for ease
- Natural fibres against the skin
- A coat that is warm without being heavy
- Supportive shoes with a secure fastening
- Colours near the face that you know suit you
