× I like comfortable clothes such as sweatshirts or pajamas because I like the feeling of being calm, relaxed.
✓ I like comfortable clothes such as sweatshirts or pajamas because they make me feel calm and relaxed.
The original sentence contains awkward phrasing and a dangling noun phrase 'the feeling of being calm, relaxed.' Replacing that with 'they make me feel calm and relaxed' clarifies the subject (clothes) causing the feeling and fixes sentence structure; use 'they' to refer to 'clothes' and parallel adjectives 'calm and relaxed.'
× It's just makes me feel more confident but.
✓ It just makes me feel more confident.
The original has a redundant 'It' with 'just makes' producing a subject-verb conflict and ends with an unnecessary conjunction 'but.' Removing the extra 'It' and the trailing 'but' yields a complete, grammatical sentence. Use concise structure: subject 'It' or omit if referring to previous clause; here 'It just makes me feel more confident.'
× Well, actually no, because before I go out there is always some specific options in my head.
✓ Well, actually no, because before I go out there are always some specific options in my head.
The noun 'options' is plural, so the verb must be plural 'are' (subject-verb agreement). Also word order is acceptable; correcting the verb fixes the tense agreement. Alternatively 'there are always a few specific options in my head' would be more natural.
× For example black and pink are good combo.
✓ For example, black and pink are a good combination.
'Combo' is an informal noun and needs an article; 'a good combination' is grammatical. Also add a comma after 'For example' for clarity. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'black and pink' (plural idea) take singular 'a good combination' as a compound idea.
