'I can say that fashion was certainly not a top concern of mine, nor of most patients I met. Still, I’ve found there are key pieces of clothing that can make what you’re going through just a bit easier, and help boost your confidence during a trying time'

It changes and fluctuates in a way that can feel destabilizing and make getting up in the morning feel like even more of a chore — and that’s not even taking into account the daily effort of putting on clothes.
From $62 at Everlane Buy A button-down shirt Madewell Denim Oversized Ex-Boyfriend Shirt I cannot stress enough that, when you are a breast-cancer patient, button-downs are your friend. Especially after having breast surgery, because there will be a period of at least a few weeks when you cannot raise your arms above your head to pull on a shirt. I’m a big fan of Madewell’s chambray and black-denim button-downs, which are both comfortable and stylish.
$41 at Bloomingdale’s Buy A comfortable pair of sneakers Allbirds Women's Wool Runners Whether from hormone therapy or chemotherapy, joint pain looms large in the lives of breast-cancer patients. My knees in particular were frequently sore from my medications, so a comfortable pair of shoes with proper support is essential. My trusty Allbirds always did the trick: I could walk around in them all day without feeling any pain in my knees.
$49 at COS Buy A statement blazer Berek Two-Button Notch-Lapel Sequined Blazer $185 Dressing up as a cancer patient can be even more draining than simply getting dressed, and in many cases, dresses just aren’t an option . So, for more formal events, I invested in a sequin blazer. It is easy to put on and comfortable to wear while still being fun and festive. I opted for a gold style that has since sold out, but this black-sequin number is another great way to get the look.
