It’s always a gamble buying basics. You want them to feel comfortable enough to lounge around in but also neat enough to be paired with work pants for the office. You want them to be long-lasting and durable while not having to worry about them falling apart at the seams after the first wash. You want them to be trans-seasonal and versatile, so one set will last you year-round without you having to buy multiple sets for different months. Now, I’m well aware that’s a hell of a lot riding on just one piece of clothing.
But I think I’ve finally cracked the code and found a brand that does every single one of those things — all while being sustainable and affordable, too. Enter: Boody, the underwear/loungewear brand responsible for creating eco-friendly essentials. We’re talking singlets, dresses, activewear, period care products, sleepwear, bralettes and even undies for both men, women and kids.
Made from organically-grown bamboo, Boody’s simple (but quality) designs pieces are breathable, so you can rest assured knowing that those 30-degree summer days won’t leave you with a sweat patch the size of America. They’re also antibacterial, thermoregulating and super soft — so much so that the garments almost feel like a second skin.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best-sellers (and my personal faves), shall we?
Boody Bandeau Bra, $18.95

A basic summer essential that goes with anything and doesn’t go scratchy or pill after the first wear? Absolutely.
Goodnight Summer Sleep Set, $84.90

As mentioned, bamboo boasts breathability and antibacterial qualities — two things that make these summer pyjamas very hard to look past.

Cami Top, $22.95

My boyfriend recently told me was investing in some good quality bamboo underwear, and it’s time we normalise men buying nice, good quality undies for themselves. I don’t want to see the days of the week on your waistband ever again.
