I have a pair of gap modal leggings that are too big which are perfect for these sorts of days. I always buy my leggings one size up, but it turns out these already run large so they are quite loose in the waist. Miraculously they stay up fine though. The modal is less clingy than poly or cotton leggings too. </p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=663838002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=663838002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227433 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:38:33 +0000 Cindy S 1227433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its usually a time when my chest looks fuller, so I wear empire waist tops that are gathered, also love low rise yoga pants for around the house...can't stand anything tight at the midsection. These are all great looks you picked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227424 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:28:25 +0000 Aziraphale 1227424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bloated tummy is a thing of the past for me, but I still get cyclic breast swelling*. I find that bras with any kind of padding or lining make it way worse, so I always buy unlined underwire bras that have cups with&nbsp;only a thin layer of stretchy fabric. Luckily nipple show-through is not an issue for me!</p> <p>If I'm just having a day where I want to be comfy, though, I'm like Greyscale. Loose, low-rise&nbsp;jeans are far more comfortable than leggings or any kind of tights. Anything stretchy and tight across my belly ranks up there as one of&nbsp;the more UNcomfortable things for me!</p> <p>(*Janet, if you're reading this -- I use breast changes to&nbsp;track my cycles. They're still pretty regular, and it has been more than two years since my surgery. Would that work for you? I find it somehow reassuring to continue tracking my cycle). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227405 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:05:47 +0000 Greyscale 1227405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought two pairs of jeans 2 sizes up from my normal size so that there's always something I can wear on those days. Like a lot of you, I hate the feeling of constriction on my tummy - but loose, low-rise&nbsp;jeans are better for me than leggings or tights or&nbsp;anything with an elastic waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227382 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 18:18:54 +0000 Anonymous 1227382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to reach for my loosest softest old jeans, a comfy sweater&nbsp;and either no belt or one with lots of extra holes!

I must have soft intestines or jeans are just too stiff. I get terrible stomach pains from the pressure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227339 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 17:01:59 +0000 fathenry 1227339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings or loose jeans with a lot of stretch.Loose dresses.

On hormonal days I fall back to the "don't have to think" outfits and work on fighting the urge to pull on my hoodie and hide :-). I always feel like a cold is in the offing at that time, so if I could wear a sleeping bag (belted, of course) I would </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227265 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 15:22:05 +0000 Anonymous 1227265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knit dresses + leggings 4EVA for me! Like, even more so than I wear normally. And nothing that needs a belt at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227243 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 14:39:25 +0000 Janet 1227243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't do tunics so my go-to items are BF jeans for looseness. Although I'm never totally sure when I'm hormonal since my hysterectomy last year. I still have ovaries so I guess I still have a cycle, just no more need for the "feminine hygiene" aisle in Target! There are definitely some weeks I figure that must be what is going on with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227241 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 14:33:17 +0000 Golden 1227241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My choices are similar to yours. Leggings, tunics or nog cozy sweaters. Needs to be soft and comfy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227231 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 14:17:22 +0000 Diana 1227231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are basically the same as my "long haul air travel" outfits. Nothing with tight waistband or too stiff materials. In the winter I do something like your #2 - tunic/sweater dress, loose leggings, flat boots. Or my Gap BF jeans, belt on a very loose hole (just enough to keep them from sliding off), tee, and sweater/knit jacket. In summer, I do a sack dress and a pair of my cork footbed Naots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227191 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 13:06:17 +0000 Ruby C 1227191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, yes! It's hardest for me in winter, so I try to keep at least one pair of jeans that are a size bigger than I usually wear but still look good. And it's cardigans or knit tops all the way.&nbsp;It's much easier when the weather is warmer because there are so many cute knit dresses out there, especially maxi dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, my shoulders and back get sore really easily. I recently had a bit of a breakthrough there - I&nbsp;discovered&nbsp;that&nbsp;necklaces or heavy rings make my shoulders and wrists tight and&nbsp;achy if I wear them to work and sit/type with them on all day. Just that little bit of weight makes my back or wrists cramp up.&nbsp;Now for work I always do&nbsp;fun earrings and soft drapey scarves because they're pretty and comfortable at the same time.</p> <p>Love your outfits by the way, for any time of the month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-hormonal-outfits-or-clothing#post-1227167 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 12:28:11 +0000 leopardluxe 1227167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this question might make some uncomfortable (apologies if that's the case). But since the last two days of my outfits have pretty much been hormonally driven I wanted to ask.</p> <p>As women we all have those lovely hormones that often fluctuate. For me, when mine are at a certain stage, that feeling of puffiness, everything itches/scratches, my joints ache puts a definite spin on what I will wear that I feel like still looks decent while also being extra comfortable.</p> <p>If anyone else has this hormonally induced wardrobe &nbsp;--what are your go-to outfits or clothing items?</p> <p>So, mine tend to be tunics and flat boots and/or oversized sweaters and leggings (and also, now, those fabulous pajama jeans!)</p> <p>So the three photos I've included here are definitely representative of the typical outfit/style I lean towards when my hormones are raging.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you're comfortable sharing, how do you adjust your style (or do you?)&nbsp;on&nbsp;those days when everything feels like it looks and feels awful?</p>
