Comfort Is The New Sexy: 10 Pieces That Look & Feel Good From Body-Positive Brands

Consider these the wrap dress for your legs! Aerie’s crossover leggings are made with 88% Nylon and 12% Elastane, better known as “Our Real Me Fabric” at the brand. It’s breathable and light, and the crossover feature at the waist creates a “V shape” curve that hugs your sides without squeezing. The flared bottom makes them perfect for any everyday activity and provides the comfort of sports clothes with the feel of a put-together outfit.

Helpful Review: “Besides the fact it is so flattering, the quality is super soft and not the type of leggings that will fade and cheap out over time! I have multiple aerie leggings and this is by far my favorite. I wear it to lounge and even to dress up!”

Available Sizes: XXS to XXL

Gone are the days of hiding your clunky sports bra under a worktop for the sake of comfort! What started as something merely trendy to wear under revealing shirts has quickly become a staple.

It's little wonder this is listed as "Kim's go-to bralette."

Helpful Review: "I'm a recent breast cancer survivor — so after my double mastectomy and several surgeries that followed, as well as chemotherapy and radiation, it was nearly impossible for me to find a comfortable bra that fit. Not only did I find one, but I also found my self-confidence and strength in dressing again! Thank you!!!"

Available Sizes: XXS to 4X

Helpful Review: “Y'all, I don't normally write reviews. But this shapewear is life-changing. Things I used to hate about shapewear — the top rolled down under my boobs — the lines around my thighs — everything! This Yitty is the total opposite. I'm in love.”

This piece comes in seven colors and is part of the company's body-positive line, Bodlove, which features "fitted, curve-hugging dresses, T-shirts and tank tops."

Helpful Review: “Not in a million years did I ever think I would or should be a bodysuit person. I am now the proud owner of 5 of this style and I'm obsessed.

This silk blouse is ideal for the office and pairs well with jeans for an evening out. And since it comes in nine fun designs, there's a style to suit whatever mood you're in.

Helpful Review: “This was my first experience buying Eloquii clothes. I wasn’t familiar with their fit and worried about my xl arms, even for plus-sized clothes.

I love anything high-waisted, and these curvy-friendly jeans are the reason I no longer need to unbutton my pants at the dinner table — they’re super stretchy. There’s extra room in the thighs and backside for a fitted but cozy fit, and you can wear them for any occasion.

Helpful Review: “These are the most comfortable and flattering jeans I’ve ever owned. I am a curvy girl and always find that jeans are such a pain to get ones that fit. I am in love with these. The flare is so flattering, I love the ultra-high waste. The only downfall is the price (I am now broke haha), but they are 100% worth it. I wear them casually and to go out, they work for everything!”
