Janet Jackson prefers to wear “comfortable” clothing these days.
The 58-year-old singer has become known for wearing suits throughout the decades of her music career and while she “never thought” she would ever be recognised for her fashion choices, admitted that these days she prefers to dress down when she is away from the cameras.
Speaking on UK TV show ‘Loose Women’ “I never thought…I just like my sweats and then I have to do something…I’ve always been into suits since I was a kid. I would put on a suit and a bow tie and felt more comfortable that way. Now, it’s all about comfort.”
The ‘Rock With U’ hitmaker is currently on the road with the ‘Together Again Tour’ and recently revealed that she has to have three people backstage with her to help with her quick costume changes.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2’s ‘Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’, she explained to stand-in host Scott Mills: “Well, I have three people helping me, actually, someone at my feet that’s changing my shoes, and someone that’s changing and I also help myself. And even then, sometimes it’s a race against time.
Janet added: “Sometimes I have not cleared the audience from seeing me, you run as quickly as you can to your quick change. And there were times when I had to undress a little bit before I got to my quick change, or I would not have made the change in time. So you start to unzip … I mean, you don’t take anything off, but you start to unzip things to make it go a little quicker.”
