Whether at home, out for a casual stroll, or meeting friends for coffee, our relaxed clothing allows wearers to feel confident and comfortable in every setting.

Essential Elements of Relaxed Wear That Maintains Style

The choice of fabric is paramount in determining the comfort level of clothing. Kit and Kaboodal places a strong emphasis on selecting high-quality materials that feel luxurious against the skin and stand the test of time. The key to truly comfortable clothing lies in breathable, soft, and durable fabrics that maintain their structure and aesthetic even after multiple washes.

One of our signature fabrics is linen, celebrated for its breathability and lightweight nature, making it ideal for relaxed wear. Linen's natural fibres allow air to circulate, keeping the body cool and comfortable, especially during warmer months. Additionally, linen becomes softer with each wash, enhancing its comfort over time. Our linen tunics and dresses showcase this perfect blend of comfort and effortless style.

For colder months, cotton-blend knits and brushed fabrics offer warmth without heaviness. Pieces like oversized knit jumpers and relaxed sweatshirts provide a cosy feel while maintaining a put-together look. These soft textures ensure that comfort does not come at the expense of sophistication.

Silhouette Considerations: Comfort Meets Flattery

Achieving a relaxed yet stylish look hinges on selecting silhouettes that offer freedom of movement while flattering various body types. Unlike restrictive fits, relaxed silhouettes prioritise ease, flow, and an effortless drape that enhances natural body shapes.

Kit and Kaboodal’s designs often feature loose-fitting tunics, A-line dresses, and wide-leg trousers that drape gracefully without clinging. These silhouettes not only provide ease but also create a chic, effortless aesthetic. For instance, our tunics are designed to be versatile, allowing them to be worn over leggings for a casual day at home or styled as dresses for a more polished appearance.

We are experts in layered dressing, an essential feature in relaxed fashion. Flowy cardigans, longline tops, and breathable layering pieces allow for easy styling, adapting to seasonal transitions without sacrificing comfort. This adaptability ensures that relaxation and style go hand in hand.

Versatile Styling: From Home to Street

One of the standout features of our relaxed wear is its versatility. Our pieces seamlessly transition from loungewear to streetwear with minimal effort, making them perfect for modern, busy lifestyles.

For instance, a linen tunic paired with comfortable leggings serves as the perfect at-home ensemble. Add a statement necklace, swap the leggings for tailored trousers, and slip on some stylish loafers, and you’re ready for a casual outing or a lunch date. This flexibility maximises the utility of each piece, aligning with the modern consumer's desire for functional yet fashionable clothing.

We also offer boho-inspired relaxed dresses that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether styled with sandals for a summer day or layered with a chunky knit and boots for autumn, these dresses ensure effortless elegance.

For a more refined take on casual dressing, oversized cotton shirts paired with tapered joggers create a structured yet comfortable look. The relaxed-chic aesthetic is all about embracing looser fits without looking unkempt - something we have achieved through thoughtful design and careful tailoring.

Care Tips: Maintaining Comfort and Appearance

Proper care is essential to preserve the comfort and longevity of relaxed wear. Our comprehensive care guides help to assist in maintaining garments, ensuring that pieces remain as soft and wearable as when first purchased.

  • Linen garments: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with lukewarm or cold water. Avoid fabric softeners as linen naturally softens over time.
  • Cotton knits: Hand wash or use a delicate cycle to prevent stretching.
  • Tunic tops and dresses: Reshape while damp and air dry to maintain structure.
  • Wool-blend items: Store folded instead of hanging to avoid stretching.
  • Steam instead of ironingThis helps retain the relaxed texture of fabrics without making them appear stiff.

By following these care instructions, clothing retains its softness, durability, and overall aesthetic appeal, ensuring long-lasting comfort.
