items Clothing/accessories that I like as I am slowly updating my wardrobe (many pieces of which are over ten or fifteen years old and starting to feel their age). On a completely related note, I am a big believer in slow and sustainable fashion when acces...

Pact: Women's Softspun V-Neck Tee
This shirt is amazing for layering. So soft and comfortable without overheating in it. The only reason I am not calling it benchmark standard is because it is susceptible to slight shrinkage, and with this particular material plus the structured seam...
Pact: Women's Luxe Stretch Jersey Slim Tee
BENCHMARK STANDARD: This is such a confident power shirt while also looking so, so pretty. The texture is super soft with a sheen. The arms fits perfectly on me, which is often a struggle (usually my blouse sleeves are too short at the same time as b...

Basic lounge shorts.
Adore Me: Jocelynn Cotton Lounge Biker Shorts
Synthetic material is an issue for me. However, so far, these are the only compression leggings that successfully reduce swelling in my thighs, without overheating me or bunching up problematically. I like that it is capri length so I can wear my own...
Under Armour: UA Fly Fast Women's Capris
I do not usually wear full-length leggings because they are harsh on my knees, plus I prefer to wear my own compression socks. But, this is a nice pair when I do want to wear full-length leggings. I personally would not use these for exercising, due ...
Pact: Women's On the Go-To Legging
I do not usually like joggers, but these came as part of a discounted set, so I figured I would try them. While I still am not a joggers fan, I am surprised by how much I like these joggers! Super soft and comfy. Great loungewear for me.
Pact: Women's Airplane Jogger
BENCHMARK STANDARD: This skirt fits so beautifully and can be easily dressed up or down. Extremely comfortable. The pockets are also super functional. It is becoming one of my signature pieces. Pact has become my go-to brand for basics and casual wea...

Overs
Jackets, sweatshirts, blazers, etc.
This is the most comfortable sweatshirt I have ever worn. It fits comfortably on me while still looking casually fashionable. I wear it so often that it is becoming one of my signature casual pieces.
Point6: Women's Livin' It Merino Hoodie, Charcoal
BENCHMARK STANDARD: So soft, so comfy. I wear mine so often it is becoming one of my signature casual pieces, haha. The pockets are also REAL. Keep in mind that this piece is for very casual settings and is, by design, a very loose fit. Pact has beco...
Pact: Women's Airplane Wrap Cardigan
BENCHMARK STANDARD: Finally a blazer that does not look like either a potato sack or a club costume on me! It caters well to an hourglass figure, looking tailored and professional but still fits very comfortably. Baukjen has become one of my go-to br...
Baukjen: Alanis Ponte Blazer
Unders
Underwear. Still searching for more ideal bras.
Comfortable cost-effective daily underwear that also offers some buffer for surprise bleeding. They are holding up very well after several years. Note, I found it is not at all effective for my periods despite the moderate absorbency claim.
Neione: Moderate Absorbent Modal Bikini Period Underwear, Black
Comfortable cost-effective period underwear. Though the construction is not the highest quality, they are still working after several years (and the repairs needed, like reinforcing seams, are easy enough); for me, this has been a very reasonable tra...
Period.co: The Extra Coverage High Waisted Period, Organic Cotton, Heavy Flows, Black
Comfortable nighttime, lounge, and under-loose-outfits period underwear option (be aware they are too bulky for a lot of daytime outfits). They are holding up very well after several years.
Period.co: The Sleeper Period, Organic Cotton, Heavy Flows, Black
Synthetic material is an issue for me (sometimes I can wear it over a cotton tank top). However, the design itself is super supportive for me, and the front zip makes it so much easier to put on.
Under Armour: UA Infinity 2.0 High Zip Women's Sports Bra
Synthetic material is an issue for me (sometimes I can wear it over a cotton tank top). However, the design itself is super supportive for me.
Under Armour: UA Movement Women's Bralette
Synthetic material is an issue for me (sometimes I can wear it over a cotton tank top). However, the design itself is super supportive for me – one of the best back designs in a bra that I have tried so far.

Under Armour: Mid Crossback Strappy Women's Sport Bra
Synthetic material is an issue for me (sometimes I can wear it over a cotton tank top). However, the design itself is super supportive for me – one of the best back designs in a bra that I have tried so far.
Under Armour: Project Rock Women's Bralette
Synthetic material is an issue for me, but until I find a non-synthetic bra that actually works under upper casual/business/formal wear, this has been a great option otherwise. The front clip makes it much easier to put on, and the back design keeps ...

Feet
Shoes and socks.
BENCHMARK STANDARD: The most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Incredible ankle support. The ground feels so much sturdier under my feet in these shoes. The zipper plus lace combination makes them easier to put on. Note, they did take a long time t...

Comfortable and easy to use. Of the different gaiters I have tried so far, it causes the least fogging of glasses when wearing it over the nose.
