Loved this article, I'm at that phase where I'm beginning to shed some of those old "comfort" clothes (and a few extra pounds) picked up during the early years and trying to find my own sense of identify and style through fashion, so this came at exactly the right time for me!
I actually think I only really started to enjoy what I wear after I became a dad. There is a certain acceptance that hits us at some point and for me fashion was one of them. Comfort wins out above all other factors; but that’s evolved for me just beyond wearing trackies all day.
Also accepting that size-wise I’ve changed since fatherhood struck has meant that I’m not trying to fit into clothes I used to wear. Letting go of old sizes means I’m not trying to squeeze into the same pair of jeans over and over, and I can just go and get a pair that damn well fit, whatever the number on the label says.
