Alcohol. Oh alcohol. You are
a terrible, terribly amazing, comforting cruel intoxicating substance.
And sometimes it gets the
better of us, this is a fact. A well known fact.
And unfortunately after
these nights of joy come days of hell. Again, a fact.
(Unless you neck a pint of Berroca
and water before going to sleep, works a treat).
Anyway these hell-days, as
they shall now be referred as, often require actually leaving your home and
braving the real world. And, even worse, you need to attempt to look respectable.
This is wear the hangover
dressing comes in.
Unlike regular dressing, it
isn’t about looking good. Neither is it about the latest trends or your
favourite shoes.
No, it is about making the
least amount of effort possible to clothe yourself whilst nursing that nausea
and headache and comforting your damaged insides.
So boys and girls, don’t
fool yourselves into thinking this is gunna be easy. Here are the 5 top items
to help your through this tough time:
1. The Non-Skinny Jean.
Say no to tight things. They
require effort, pulling etc. not worth it.
I recommend the secret
sweatpants or tracksuit bottoms at the bottom of your wardrobe, everyone should
have them. Comfortable and useful for emergency dashes to go hug the loo.
In an ideal world I’d be
wearing some baggy leather trousers from J Brand:
2. The Slip On Shoe
This is very weather
dependent but the most obvious choices would be winter = Uggs/converse, summer
= flip flops. Don’t question it, go with it.
Let’s go with some comfy suede
Jimmy Choos:
3. The Sleeveless Top
sleeves are also
unnecessarily hard, this is a known fact. Go sleeveless and allow that breeze
to waft away that alcoholic aroma around you.
How about this calf hair
Helmut Lang number:
4. The Warmth
So you decided to get
trashed in December? Well now you must pay for that. Sleeves aren’t optional
anymore therefore find your biggest, comfiest jumper or hoodie and wear with
pride.
A Team Slimane hoodie will
do nicely methinks:
5. The Random Accessory
This is isn’t so much a tip
as a warning. I’ve known many a (very) hungover person to try and counter their
feelings of hangover by carrying a random accessory. These include, but are not
restricted to – fur trapper hat, mug (with or without tea), perfume/cologne
bottle, bunny ears, more berroca, dressing gown, the list goes on. If it feels
right, embrace it. Hangovers can make you weird.
I recommend the following
embellished mask, amazingly pom pomed hat, and some alligator gloves. Because why
not.
The rest is up to you. Remember,
the best accessory is always water and Panadol.
