All of them, myself included, felt that the clothes we liked to wear best were comfortable clothes. Whether they are dressy or casual, comfort seems to be the first thing we look for when we go to get dressed in the morning. The interesting thing is that it’s not the first thing you might look for when you are buying a garment. When you are in a shop, you tend to go for what catches your eye and is in fashion.
Another interesting thing I have observed is when women put on a dress and say “It will look lovely when I have a tan and heels and my hair done and when I have lost a stone!” That’s not the dress to buy. If it is dependent on all those factors to look good then don’t buy it. I promise you, you will never wear it. Maybe, thinking a pair of heels will be needed is alright because let’s face it we don’t go around in our killer heels all day, and most glamorous dresses do require heels. It’s the fact that we are imagining an almost different person that’s the problem. I’m all for buying clothes for who you really are - if you are someone who rarely gets out of your jeans then what’s the point in buying loads of dresses and skirts? Buy well-fitting quality jeans and fabulous tops to go with them, good boots in winter and pretty pumps and sandals in spring/summer. Wear what you love and spend your money on what you will wear most of the time. If you are a dress woman, then buy dresses with sleeves and the neckline that suits you most. Team them with boots in winter and good shoes for autumn and spring. There are so many lovely sandals for summer, your dresses will look great. Invest in some nice cashmere knits to go with your dresses and feel the luxury.
I read somewhere recently that children who wear comfortable clothes are happier - I think the same goes for grown-ups.

An tseachtain seo caite, bhí mé féin agus cúpla cara ag caint faoi na héadaí gur fearr linn a chaitheamh.
Ar ndóigh, d’aontaigh muid uilig gur fearr linn éadaí compordacha a chaitheamh. Gléasta suas nó neamhfhoirmeálta, is cosúil gur compord a bhíonn ar intinn againn uilig nuair a bhíonn ár n-éadaí á roghnú againn ar maidin. Ach ní hiad seo na héadaí céanna a cheannaíonn muid agus muid amuigh ag siopadóireacht. De ghnáth, roghnaíonn muid cibé píosa éadaigh atá “san fhaisean” faoi láthair nó cibé píosa a mheallann an tsúil.
Rud eile a théann i gcion orm ná go gcuireann go leor againn gúna orainn agus deir muid linn féin: “beidh an gúna seo galánta nuair atá mo ghruaig déanta, smidiú agus sálaí arda orm agus dath na gréine (nádúrtha nó ó bhuidéal) ar mo chosa. Ní hé seo an gúna ar cheart a cheannach. Muna mbreathnaíonn sé go deas gan smidiú, salaí arda srl., ná ceannaigh é! Geallaim duit, ní chaithfidh tú ach go hannamh é.
Ar ndóigh, le gúna galánta d’ócáid dheas, tá sé intuigthe go mbeidh gá sálaí arda a chur leis. Ach séard is áil liom a rá ná muna mbraitheann tú compordach sa stíl seo, léirigh do stíl féin sa dóigh go mbraitheann tú ar do shuaimhneas. Ná bíodh ort duine éigin iomlán difriúil a shamhlú nuair atá culaith á lorg agat d’ócáid speisialta. Silím gur chóir dúinn uilig éadaí a cheannach a fhóireann go maith dúinn agus a mbraitheann muid compordach agus sásta iontu.
