That many women suffer from back pain because of their clothing was recently revealed in a study. To help you look good without your posture hurting, here are some tips to wear stylish and back pain free clothes:
• Variety is key:Wearing the same type of clothing every day can lead to pain by preventing certain parts of your body from moving freely. Take the pressure off these areas by varying the styles of clothes you wear.
• Keep it loose:Tight clothes restrict your body from moving freely, so looser clothes, such as baggy pants, maxi skirts, or straight jeans are a good choice.
• Watch your bag:Heavy handbags are a particularly common cause of back pain in women. Pay attention to the bag you are carrying and check the bag regularly for unnecessary items. Backpacks are the best option for your posture because they distribute the weight evenly across both shoulders, so it's great to have them back in style. Avoid bags that have to be carried in the crook of the arm, as the weight causes one shoulder to be lower than the other, twisting the neck and back.
• Put your best foot forward:High heels force you to hold your body in a way that promotes tension in your back, so if you're wearing high heels, limit the damage by wearing sneakers or lower-heeled shoes from time to time .
• Get the right support:Clothes are important, but what you wear underneath can also affect your posture. Bras should fit well so that your shoulders don't absorb all the tension. Wear a bra that is neither too tight nor too loose.
