Bad news: skinny jeans aren't the only article of clothing that's bad for your health. According to Naomi Braithwaite, a research fellow at Nottingham Trent University who recently spoke to The Daily Mail, there are some other body-damaging items in your wardrobe that you might want to replace. The main offenders? Jeggings, stilettos, and oversize bags — along with the Kardashian-favored corset, for obvious reasons.
Not to worry, we've already found you some stylish, on-trend alternatives, as well as a bit of outfit inspiration, to get you started on this closet cleanse. Keep scrolling to see them all.
Aside from possibly cutting off circulation like their style sister, skinny jeans, jeggings also prevent air flow around your . . . lady parts, leading to unwanted health issues like yeast infection.
Luckily, we're moving on trend-wise, and breathable flares are back — and equally as comfortable as those tight, stretchy things. Find a pair that suits your shape and rock this design instead.
Heels position your foot and body in an unnatural position, causing pain and discomfort — even costume designers advise against buying them.
Or, at the very least, platforms or wedges for more support. They'll give you the height without the strain on your body.
Back problems, arm problems — lugging a heavy bag around can definitely cause some major damage. The worst part? You probably don't need half of this stuff!
Give your shoulders and arms a break and clean out your purse. Find a little crossbody that fits the necessities and you should be good.
