comfy work from home combo

This singlet has become my summer/autumn uniform. It’s one of those activewear pieces that doesn’t scream “activewear” – no loud logos, no technical-looking fabric, just a simple, comfortable top that happens to be designed for movement.

The fabric is soft and breathable, which is exactly what you want in humid environments. The sleeveless cut keeps me cool when the afternoon heat kicks in, and the relaxed fit means I’m not constantly adjusting it during the day.

Worth it? Yes, this singlet is very light, it’s comfy, it’s soft, it’s flattering. The fabric has held up with all the washes.

Cost per wear: $39.99 ÷ 9 wears = $4.44

These pants are perfect for those tricky autumn mornings where you need coverage but don’t want to overheat by midday. The length is ideal – not quite full-length, but enough to keep my legs covered when it’s cool. The relaxed fit and detailed drawstring waist mean maximum comfort for sitting at a desk all day. For linen, these hold up against creasing fairly well.

 Worth it? Absolutely. They’ve held up well, and continue to be flattering

Cost per wear: $59 ÷ 12 wears = $4.91

If you know Birkenstocks, you know the comfort is unmatched. These have the classic Birkenstock footbed that moulds to your feet over time, proper arch support (crucial when you’re standing at a desk or walking to the kitchen for your fifth coffee), and they go with absolutely everything. The rose suede is neutral enough to work with many colour palettes. I can wear these all day without my feet complaining, perfect for the ankle impingement.

 Worth it? I would, and I have. I own five pairs of Birkinstock sandals. The sandals made of the natural fibres seem to last longer

Cost per wear: $174 ÷ 207 wears = $0.84
