25 Brilliant Clothing Items You Didn’t Know You Could Buy
Like most people, I love a good invention, but even the really simple things get me excited. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable is alright in my book. I’m especially a sucker for clothing items that make my wardrobe less of a hassle. Besides, who doesn’t need a wrist wallet or a beverage pouch hoodie? We all do!Some of these are actually really practical, while others would be just plain fun to have– awesome gift ideas! I own a few of them, while others I plan on owning very soon (beer koozie gloves). I hope you find something you like and can’t live without on the list!
1. Secret Stash Scarf
This
unique scarf gives you the ability to go purse free! That, or hide
valuable items while traveling like your credit card, passport, boarding
pass, cash, and other items that need to be kept safe. Personally, I’d
use this secret stash scarf to store my lipgloss for easy access!
2. Beer Koozie Gloves
These beer gloves
are a must for football or baseball games! Now you can drink your beer
in style while keeping your hand toasty warm and your beer ice cold. I’d
probably even use this on my couch in the winter to match my knit
booties.

3. Bra Extenders
You know you want one. Bras are annoying, and I’m not ashamed to say that I own one of these bra expanders
in every color. I’m not saying my bras don’t fit, but if I can get away
with wearing my bras a little on the loose side under certain clothes–
well, I’m not going to pass up on that opportunity.
Get them here on Amazon.com
4. Thigh Bands
If your thighs rub together (mine do!), you probably already know exactly what these are for. Bandelettes
are designed to stay in place and keep your inner thighs from chaffing
and sweating. They’re perfect for under dresses and skirts, and pretty
darn cute, too! They come in a lot of different colors, styles, and
sizes so you get the fit that’s just right for you.

5. Keysocks
If you like to wear flats or heels in the winter, these no-show socks (you can find them here)
were made for you. They keep you warmer than footies without slipping
off in the back so you can wear them to stay warm and comfortable with
your favorite pair of shoes.
6. Wrist Wallet
Where has this
been all of my life?! Stash your house key, cash, or anything else you
might need while out for a walk or run. In my case that would be a tube
of Lipsmackers cotton candy chap stick. They also make some of these big
enough to hold a phone.
Get one from Amazon or Sprigs.com
7. Waist Extenders
Don’t judge. Just about everyone could use one of these waist expanders
over the holidays. You can add half an inch or more to your waist band
with this clever extender. It’s so simple, I’ll bet you could even make
one of your own!

8. Ponytail Headband
Guard
your ears against the winter chill while still keeping your hair back
in a ponytail! This would make my morning run so much more enjoyable.
This ponytail headband is made to wick moisture, and it also looks like it would keep flyways and bangs out of your face. Get one here on Amazon.

10. Nike Studio Wrap
Aside
from being super swanky, these “shoes” are designed to give you a
barefoot feel but with added support, protection, and traction. Great
for yoga, gymnastics, and dance! These studio wraps
also come with a flat to put on over the wrap for your way in and out
of the gym or studio. I think I might have just found a reason to give
yoga a try.
Get them here at the Nike Store
11. Bra Travel Case
Now
I’m positive they’ve thought of everything! I’ve actually had this
problem many times in the past– carefully placing my bras in my suitcase
where I think they won’t get disfigured, only to unpack them oddly out
of shape. This case is hard molded to prevent dents and bent underwires. Genius! It also has a separate compartment sleeve for your panties.
Get one here on Amazon.com
12. CamiBands
These
are basically like a shirt extender (for shirts that are too short or
low rise jeans), but can also be worn under a top that exposes too much
cleavage or as a chic way to layer at the beach over your bikini or
swimsuit bottoms. 3 in 1! You can shop for them here on CamiBands.com.

13. Stow-N-Go Bra
Keep
all of the essentials at just a hands reach with this sports bra from
North Face that has a double layer chest pocket. I’ve also seen this
pocket hold an iPod, so it must be quite roomy. Only for A and B cups
though, ladies! What’s up with that? Looks like I’m going to need that
wrist wallet, after all.
Get it here: North Face
14. Beverage Pouch Hoodie
The
smartest invention since the koozie! No need to worry about where
you’re going to put your drink down with this genius sweater. Stay warm
with your beverage handy, and your friends jealous. This beverage pouch hoodie would be an awesome gift idea for any guy (or girl)!
Get one here on Amazon.com
15. Hoodie Scarf
So
much more than just a hoodie! It also has a built in cushion to making
napping while traveling comfortable and convenient. The scarf also has a
pocket to keep important things close by. Although advertised as a
great way to nap while traveling, I also think this hoodie scarf would be great to throw on when it’s raining over a shirt or sweater that doesn’t have a hoodie built in.
Order one on Napper.me
16. Sweater For Two
Adorable! What baby wouldn’t love this? This hoodie
is designed to slip on over a baby carrier (it has a hidden zipper to
make getting it on and off a breeze), and keeps you and your baby
bundled together and warm. This is perfect for walks or a day out
shopping.
17. HalfTees
Half
of a shirt, but less than half of the bunching, heat and hassle! These
half shirts come in many different styles and colors to make layering
comfortable and fun. I have the 3/4 sleeve in black, and the fabric is
really soft and comfortable, and they are reversible, so you can choose
from a higher or lower neckline. Shop for HalfTees here, and use the coupon code “Listotic” at checkout to receive 20% off.

18. Summer Soles
Do
you have any of those sandals or heels that seem to have a vinyl
lining, making your feet sweat and slide around in your shoes? I have a
pair of Jessica Simpson heels that do that, and even though they are
really comfortable, by the end of the night my feet seem to slide
forward making them dig into my feet. These insoles
are made to absorb moisture, and so thin they won’t change the fit and
feel of your shoes! They can also be easily cut and trimmed to just the
right size.
Get them here on Amazon.com
19. Foldable Flats
Just
about every girl knows the pain and extreme torture that comes with
wearing heels. I have a few pairs that are just fine for a couple hours
of standing, but beyond that I’d rather french kiss a barracuda than
stand for a minute longer. Thank you genius person that thought of
foldable flats that fit into a convenient bag small enough for your
purse! Now you can wear your trendy heels and make it home with both
feet still in tact.

20. Blouse Buttons
For
all of those blouses, tops, and cardigans that show just a little bit
too much! I also like this idea for those lightweight open-front tops
and sweaters that don’t have a button to keep them closed. It beats a
safety pin! Pick up a few here.

21. Secret Bra Stash
Try
to rob me now, robber! Just kidding. But really, this is the perfect,
secret way to stash your valuables (cash, emergency credit card, etc.)
while traveling, or even just a drunk night out with the girls. Check
them out here.
Get one here on Amazon.com
22. Sand Imprint Flip Flops
Simply choose your size and color, and then create your own design. You can completely customize these flip flops with any words, names, and/or symbols you’d like, or just order a pair of the popular pre-designed ones. Great gift idea!
Customize your own on Flipsidez.com
23. Play Mat T-Shirts
Back
massage, anyone? What a fun way to be involved with the kids’ play
without having to actually do anything but trick them into giving you a
back rub. I’m sure any dad would love to receive this as a gift! They
also come in children’s sizes. Visit Etsy by bky kid to pick one up.

24. The FlipBelt
This
belt has several pockets to hold your phone and other important items
(keys, cash, credit card, etc.) while working out, and it comes in
several different sizes and colors to choose from. This seems so much
more comfortable than that huge arm band I see people wearing to hold
their phone at the gym. This would also be awesome for theme parks, or
anytime you don’t want to carry a purse. Read the reviews and check them
out here on Amazon.

25. The "Tool" Belt
Hey,
you never know when you’re going to need a phillips screwdriver or bolt
driver in a pinch, but that bottle opener could come in handy on a
daily basis. Bonus: it keeps your pants up!
