Here are a few tips on what to wear during a moving day. Contact our residential movers for more such tips and tricks.

COMFORTABLE CLOTHING 

‍

• Since it's going to be a busy and hectic day with all the work on hand, choose breathable and comfortable fabrics such as cotton and polyester as they are known to be moisture-wicking fabrics. 

‍

• To make moving around and lifting objects easier, you might also choose to wear a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Make sure the jeans you select are flexible and willing to have their rips caused by work. 

‍

• Choose to wear yoga pants, sweatpants, or pajamas if they are your preferred kind of comfort and allow you to be flexible throughout the day. Always ensure they should not have loose ends that might catch on things and disrupt your movement.

‍

• Dressing appropriately for the weather is also crucial. You need to put on shorts or trousers if you plan to move around in the heat. But if you plan on going around in the winter, be sure to dress in layers that are both cozy and appropriate.
