What to actually wear.
You don't need a new wardrobe. You need a small one that does its job. Here's what works in perimenopause, top to bottom.
The base layer
- One structured, supportive bra. Encapsulation, not just compression.
- One soft, lower impact bralette for warm ups and walks.
The middle
- A breathable cropped tank, mesh under the arms.
- A relaxed tee or vest in mid weight technical fabric.
- One short sleeve top in dark neutral that hides sweat.
The bottom half
- Two pairs of opaque, mid weight leggings with wide soft waistbands.
- One pair of bike shorts for hot days or hot rooms.
The outer layer
- One zip jacket you can pull on and off in seconds.
- One light long sleeve for the walk in or down regulating after.
Three things to keep in your bag
- A spare top. The hot flush will come, eventually.
- A small towel.
- Cold water in an insulated bottle.
