What Not to Wear: Moving Edition

Oct 17, 2022

Moving day is not for the weak, so your outfit definitely shouldn’t be either. Wearing the wrong shoes or uncomfortable clothes can make or break your moving experience. When it comes to moving, we have a closet full of tricks for you. Prepare for your move by knowing what not to wear and what to wear for the big day.

What Not to Wear During Your Move

What you wear on moving day matters more than you think. Remember, moving isn’t glamorous. You will be lifting heavy objects and getting dirty so moving day is not the time to bring out the stilettos or your grandma’s fur coat. A good rule of thumb is: if you don’t want to ruin it, don’t wear it. Stay away from:

  • High Heels
  • Open toe shoes
  • Uncomfortable shoes
  • Brand new tennis shoes
  • Jewelry
  • Your favorite clothes
  • Expensive Items

Fashionistas Don’t Despair

Of course, if you don’t want your outfit to suffer just because you’re moving, there is always Moving Help. Moving Help easily finds movers ready to help with all your moving day needs such as: packing unpacking, loading, unloading and even cleaning. Now, you can move safely knowing your red bottoms will still be in tact once you’ve made it to your new home.

What to Wear During Your Move

  • Comfortable clothes: A plain t-shirt and a pair of comfortable jeans is the perfect outfit for moving.
  • Season appropriate clothes: If it’s winter throw on a jacket, moving when it’s too cold to function will slow you down in the long run. In the summer make sure to wear breathable clothes, so you can beat the heat.
  • Dispensable Clothes: Moving can get messy, stay ahead of the game by wearing something that you don’t mind getting rid of once the move is over.
  • Work gloves: A good pair of gloves will help protect your wrists and hands from getting cut up.

Since we are on the topic of clothes, check out this video on how to pack your clothes the smart way.

Moving can be hard but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why U-Haul is here to help make your move seamless whether you need a truck, moving supplies or help. We’ve got you covered!
