Getting dressed while on your period can be a dilemma, because in addition to having a swollen and sore abdomen and chest, our joints and kidneys hurt and, worst of all, there are many women with abundant discharge and this becomes another handicap when dressing.
Surely on these days when you feel especially sensitive, sore and tired, you don’t feel like wearing anything more than the widest pajamas or tracksuit you have, but you have to work, study or go out and do your usual tasks, no matter how much you just feel like getting under the blanket and lying on the sofa. Also, in our ‘down time’ we tend to be more down so it’s important that you dress up and look good. We give you the keys to dress chic as well as comfortable, with the best looks to dress while on your period.
The 6 best looks when you are on your period
- Oversized leggings+jersey for period days
One of the most delicate areas these days is the abdomen as it is sore and swollen. Therefore, it is best to opt for elastic waistbands, such as leggings. Combine them with a wide wool sweater and you will be warm, comfortable and chic at the same time. Also, for colder days, you can wear an undershirt underneath and it won’t be noticeable. With the wide waistband you will be comfortable and the swelling of the tummy will not be noticed. In summer, opt for leggings and a wide T-shirt. For footwear, a comfortable boot or sneakers.
- Straight dress during menstruation
Another of the options to be comfortable during these days are straight dresses. You can opt for cotton, wool or knit, but they are loose so that they do not stick to the body and give you the necessary slack to move comfortably. Whenever you can, choose dark clothing to hide possible leaks.
- Skirts with elastic and shirt or wide sweater
Choose skirts with an elastic waistband, instead of zippers, there are cotton, knitted and even long or pleated midi skirts, which combine perfectly with the chicest wool sweaters.
- Jeggings and t-shirt with unbuttoned shirt
Another option that can be very useful and practical for you during your period is to put on jeggings, put on a basic t-shirt and an unbuttoned checked shirt on top. With the combination of sneakers, you will be comfortable and stylish. Also, you can always tie your shirt at the waist and give the look an urban touch.
- Skirts with elastic and shirt or wide sweater
Choose skirts with an elastic waistband, instead of zippers, there are cotton, knitted and even long or pleated midi skirts, which combine perfectly with the chicest wool sweaters.
- Tracksuit bottoms during your menstrual cycle
Take advantage of the trend of two-striped sweatpants on the sides of the legs because there is no better way to dress up for the office than to combine them with a white shirt and a blazer. See how Alexandra Pereira combines them with a denim jacket.
Kimono and ruler, a perfect combination
The kimono is a very comfortable garment and is especially useful during your period since you can dress basically underneath and then finish off the look with an original kimono that will hide your swelling.
Other recommendations to dress on menstruation days
When we are on our period, the ideal, as we have just seen, is not to wear very tight clothes so that it does not oppress us more and try to be comfortable.
- It is best to avoid heels, as the joints are more sore at this time and high heels will only aggravate this.
- High-waisted pants will also give you the feeling of protection you need, much more than low or medium-waisted ones.
- Use panties, instead of a thong and if they can be made of cotton, much better.
- It is also preferable that the bra be made of cotton and avoid that it tightens you too much and that the underwires rub against each other, because, as you know, your chest at this time is more inflamed and sensitive.
- Lastly, put on makeup in a natural and flattering way, without stridency: a little concealer to hide dark circles and imperfections, some sun powder, blush on the cheeks and mascara and you’re ready to go out and conquer the world! great!
