The Most Comfortable Clothing Brands

L.L Bean

Most Comfortable for Slippers and Flannel

There are so many comfortable things at L.L Bean. They have comfy pants, sheets, and throws that are all worth a look.

But, if you want to take your comfort game to the next level, it really doesn’t get much better than L.L Bean Flannel. This high-quality Portuguese cotton flannel is used in their men’s and women’s pajamas, shirts, nightgowns, and sheets.

Equally great are their Wicked Good Slippers, the L.L bean slipper that’s been keeping people’s feet toasty for a long time. They come with iconic cozy shearling, featuring exceptional comfort and warmth.

Our pick: Wicked Good Slippers, and any flannel.

Lands’ End

Could You use Some Feel Good Breathable Summer Pajamas?

Lands’ End is another classic American brand, and their warm, comfortable styles are go-to options for so many people, year after year.

Like L.L Bean, they have fantastic flannel. They also make some of the best men’s and women’s, and children’s thermal long underwear – it contains high-performance Thermaskin™ fabric, to maintain body heat and wick perspiration from your skin.

They also have really great cotton nightgowns and sleepwear for women.

Our pick: Thermal long underwear.

American Giant

If You Are Looking for Thick Cozy Sweats

There are a lot of fantastic places to find really incredible sweatpants and sweatshirts. One retailer that you may not be familiar with but are well worth a look is American Giant.

They make some of the best American-made hoodie and sweatpants for men and women, and their stuff is durable, well made, and incredibly comfortable.

Our pick: Classic Full Zip men’s Hoodie.

Vuori

Comfortable Workout Clothes

There’s no shortage of comfortable workout gear options out there, but if you’re looking for men’s workout shorts for men, or women’s yoga leggings, I suggest Vuori.

Most Vuori gear is well designed and highly rated.

It’s men’s Kore Short is considered by many to be the best athletic short you can find, and its Ponto Performance Pant has become a comfy WFH uniform.

Vuori’s fans also love their performance jogger (a big-time fan favorite), and their women’s leggings.

Our pick: Men’s Kore Short.

Boody

Sustainably Made Comfort Underwear

Comfortable underwear is certainly not in short supply these days (see our post on Comfortable Underwear Brands).

Boody is a standout brand that recently started to get some buzz in the States (they’re based in Australia). They sell the softest, most comfortable men and women’s essentials made from organic bamboo.

Boody’s most popular items include a comfy everyday bra that is sustainably and ethically made. The bra is mostly made of bamboo viscose (a more environmentally friendly material than traditional cotton), with a bit of nylon and spandex for stretch.

Also very popular are the Men’s Original Boxers – the bamboo material is naturally cooling and breathable, so you can leave them on all day or night, even if you run hot.

Our pick: Shaper Bra.

Tani

Soft and Silky Men’s Lounge Sleep Shorts

Tani is another clever underwear brand using innovative fabrics to make soft, sustainable, and breathable essentials.

Tani makes underwear and loungewear, primarily using soft and silky Bamboo (to wick away sweat to keep you dry and comfortable).

The first thing you need to try from this brand are their men’s lounge shorts – very luxurious and comfortable. Tani is an excellent choice for eco-friendly, super soft advanced fabrics – you’ll hardly even feel your underwear.

Our pick: Men’s Lounge Sleep Shorts.

Everlane

Comfy Modern Essentials for the Minimalist

It’ i’s nice to have a great basics brand in your back pocket when you need a new T-shirt, cozy sweatshirt, or even just a pair of underwear, and for a lot of people, that brand is Everlane.

I feature Everlane a lot because they make incredible quality basics for both men and women, emphasizing comfort, fit, and excellent design. They’re also a great source for minimalist, modern, eco-conscious essentials.

They have so many excellent designs, but for women, check out their Cheeky Straight Jean or their Cashmere options.

For men, I suggest looking at their Uniform Collection – it includes 10 quite versatile everyday basics.

Our pick: Women’s Cheeky Straight Jean.

Uniqlo

Budget-friendly Soft Cashmere and Merino Wool

Uniqlo has a huge selection of budget-friendly, comfortable men’s and women’s clothes -there are far too many to mention in this rundown, but their standout items have to be their men’s and women’s cashmere and merino wool sweaters.
