I’m so excited about this list- I’m not sure where to begin! Now that we’ve elevated your wardrobe with an array of pieces that flatter your frame, communicate your authentic personal style and create a cohesive, elegant color palette, it’s time to round everything out with loungewear, workout clothes, undergarments, sleepwear and swimwear. Say, “goodbye” to feeling frumpy when you’re around the house, working out or walking Archie. It’s time to be super comfortable, super casual and still super stylish. Off we go!
First up, there is no worthier obsession than Negative Underwear, especially the Whipped Collection. New York Mag has loved this company since inception and it really is worth the investment. The pieces are insanely lightweight and soft. They are also sheer, so plan for some sex appeal. You can also layer underneath if the sheerness is an issue depending on the situation. Yes! There are other color choices but I’m loving the layering of white for you and sharing my favorite pieces to bring it all together throughout the year. Feel free to mix and match colors (they have navy!) if that speaks to you.

While we’re here, let’s make sure you are stocked up on white tees. Ironically, I believe you already have this style with stars? Either way, there really isn’t a more flattering tee for you and it comes in petite. I especially love this because we have some very polished items in your wardrobe now and this helps you make any look more casual without sacrificing style.
High waisted underwear with very light compression, you ask? Commando is on point for this- these are the gold standard. You’ll also be delighted with this half slip for shorter dresses helping you eliminate panty lines and get a little compression without feeling uncomfortable or overly dressed up.
I’m a superfan of this silk nightgown/ slip dress for you. It’s insanely flattering, comfortable and versatile.
Negative Underwear Supreme Mini Slip Dress. Available in multiple colors. Negative Underwear. $128. Negative’s washable alternative to silk - Korean 100% high density woven poly is luxurious and machine washable. Navy with white piping along sides and front strap joins. Machine wash on delicate/cold and tumble dry low.

Machine wash on delicate/cold and tumble dry low.
You’re all stocked up on bras and thong underwear, but a few bralettes will be very useful. Again, Commando is on point. These are very similar with one having thicker straps that are not adjustable, feeling more like a top while the choice with thin straps looks more like a bra.
Let’s face it, you need some stellar cozies for the cool weather. This waffle knit combo is sexy and functional. Layer it up or down as desired and feel free to wear it for lounging and just fall asleep. In fact, that’s the approach for all loungewear and pajamas on this list. They do double duty.
Negative Underwear Waffle Knit Deep V. Available in two colors. Negative Underwear. $160. Cotton waffle jacquard with a high recovery to hold its shape. Heather Grey is a classic and soothing overcast sky grey tone. Smooth underside is gentle on skin (aka no imprints!). 98% Cotton, 2% Spandex.

Features pockets and an adjustable cord drawstring with dipped tips. Machine wash cold with like colors, turn inside out, tumble dry low
I would never forgive myself if I made you a list without including Negative’s Sieve Collection. Functional and sexy, these sheer pieces are everything.

Made from a sheer Belgian power micromesh — nipples are visible. A caramel-y sunrise desert sands affogato tone. 74% Polyamide (Nylon) 26% Elastane (Spandex). Wireless.

Let’s hear it for washable silk and silk alternatives. These joggers are super hip and have the soldier stripe you know and love. These are ideal for lounging at home then taking Archie on a walk and hitting the store. Options abound!

I’m completely obsessed with this hat for you. Neutrals and classics don’t need to be boring. This is a memorable, one of a kind feeling piece that is still understated and incredibly functional. Plus, it’s on sale!
You are going to LOVE this incredibly flattering swimsuit. Really. Truly. So perfect for your body type and let’s hear it for white! Bam.
I’m loving how Staud paired this sweater transforming it into a bathing suit cover up. And for you- I’m into it. Mixing neutrals, balancing your shape and utilizing a piece year-round are just a few of the benefits of this choice.
Layer the open weave sweater over the white swimsuit and finish things off with those Puerto Rican sandals and this genius beach bag. Why don’t all beach bags hold your hat without sacrificing the shape? Yet another piece that is sure to draw compliments without being too flashy.
One swimsuit is never enough and I can absolutely see you in this eye catching choice from Staud. The high waisted bottoms and the balconette top are just right to show off your curves.
Few things are as functional as a roll up beach hat and San Diego Hat Company is one of my favorite resources for hats. The quality is great, with reasonable prices and classic styles. This is for the days you want to leave your beach bag and hat at home but need insurance that you’ll have a solution if it’s too sunny to go sans hat.
Another feminine open-weave choice. It feels natural, beautiful, polished and still effortless for the win. We love a wrap on you and this flattering silhouette has a timeless quality that is sure to keep in the mix for many years.
Look at THIS.
Okay, I’m VERY enthusiastic about you and your various workouts. Let’s start with ballet. I love the idea of leaning into some “dance” clothing without diving into the deep end. In the same way that you’ll integrate a more casual piece into a very polished work outfit, try adding a “dance” piece in with your regular workout clothing. I went with a navy blue, white, dusty blue and/ or grey color palette for working out. You can easily mix and match items for different activities and looks. Every combo will flatter your frame and be functional for your workout. And of course, we’ll still be celebrating your authentic personal style.
First up, I adore this mesh top for you. It’s has a bit of a dance vibe, thanks Lululemon, but isn’t costume-y. Try it with these Girlfriend Collective leggings and sports bra. This is an incredible brand with high quality pieces that last forever and can be recycled when you are done with them…. which may never happen as they really do last forever. We know that one-shoulder looks are lovely on you and this top will stay put when working out.
Skyline Bianca One Shoulder Bra. Available in multiple colors. Girlfriend Collective. $52. Made with COMPRESSIVE for smoothing, sculpting support. Compressive is made with 79% recycled water bottles (RPET) and 21% spandex. Designed for low impact activities. Double lined, sweat-wicking material with four way stretch. One shoulder silhouette (designed to be worn over right shoulder). Built-in support band. When you’re done with this item, resell it or recycle it
Skyline Compressive High-Rise Legging. Available in multiple colors and multiple inseam lengths. Girlfriend Collective. $88. Named Best Versatile Legging by NYT. Made with COMPRESSIVE for smoothing, sculpting support. Compressive is made with 79% recycled water bottles (RPET) and 21% spandex. Designed for high-impact workouts . Small hidden back pocket for keys or cards. Sweat-wicking and sheer-proof material. Soft yet sturdy construction with four-way stretch. When you’re done with this item, resell it or recycle it
Another approach is a sports bra with or without this sheer top, made for dancing. Ready to take it a step further? Pair that combo with high rise bike shorts that will hold you in, flatter your frame and keep you comfortable. Then, layer a ballet skirt over top. Feels too “dance”? Just remove either the mesh top or the skirt and replace with leggings, a tank or tee. Options abound!
One more look that works well for ballet and can easily be modified for yoga, pilates, biking, you name it.
Skyline Maddie V-Neck Tank. Available in multiple colors. Girlfriend Collective. $56. Made with COMPRESSIVE for smoothing, sculpting support. Compressive is made with 79% recycled water bottles (RPET) and 21% spandex. Designed for medium to high-impact activities. Fitted v-neck tank with a scooped out racerback. Built-in bra with removable cups. When you’re done with this item, resell it or recycle it
And while we’re here, one last “dance” choice. Pair this body suit with Lululemon’s active pants, just right for damce. Seriously.
It’s time for a feminine, modern, functional silk robe. This sustainable choice from Lunya is a major win and has all sorts of delightful details to make your life better and get this into heavy rotation. Don’t worry about your kimono sleeves getting in the way, thanks to these gathered sleeves. Need pockets? We’ve got you. Like a waistline? That’s here, too. Feel free to layer this over an array of items on this list. It’s much more practical than it seems at first glance.
Keep things easy and luxurious with this pajama set from Lunya in the same fabric. The cut will flatter your frame and you’ll discover that you can lounge or sleep in the entire combo.
Last but absolutely not least, THIS SILK ROMPER! It comes in an array of colors and is sure to make you feel your best inside and out. Try it under the silk robe!
And there you have it. Happy shopping and I’ll see you very soon!
