I never would have imagined that in 2020, "loungewear” would become such a buzzword. Anyone else? It’s all my friends are asking me to help them find, all I really want to buy at the moment—aside from slippers—and, as I worked on this story, I even noticed that more than a handful of my go-to shopping sites had suddenly added a whole section devoted to the term since the last time I looked. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I still was! Nonetheless, I can’t say it doesn’t help.
Since, as I mentioned, loungewear is what I’m currently most interested in buying, I figured I would share everything on my wish list based on the assumption that many of you reading this are in the same boat. From easy tops to comfy bottoms to cute matching sets and something of a miscellaneous section, below you’ll find all of the options I’m currently vetting for my new WFH lifestyle before I’m inevitably forced to edit them down so I can actually purchase a few. To get started and shop all my picks, just keep scrolling.
Tops
Timeless.
There are few things I enjoy more than Henleys.
This environmentally friendly tee comes in tons of colors and has a coordinating sweatsuit. Doesn't get better than that.
Look like you're wearing a button-down; feel like you're wearing a sweatshirt.
Friends whose opinions I actually trust tell me that Skims pieces are amazing, so I think it's time I buy some.
For the nostalgia.
Anything with "cozy" in the name is going to be an automatic yes from me.
Choosing a color was nearly impossible.
Bottoms
I have a pair of these already, and they're just perfect for wearing around the house.
I'm eyeing the coordinating sweatshirt, too.
My trusty colleague, Ally, loves these leggings, so I just know I will too.
Well these are just adorable.
I actually own these pants and recommend them to all my friends.
A girl can dream!
I'm currently living in these and can't recommend them enough.
This Nordstrom review says it all: "I purchased these with the matching sweatshirt. The set makes me really happy... which is honestly something I needed since we are stuck at home indefinitely these days. Super soft. Runs potentially large-ish but I don’t think I’d size down because comfort is key! Stay healthy out there everyone."
Matching Sets
Raise your hand if you need this whole look.
Shop the matching Waffle Shorts ($114).
For when I want to feel cute while I fold laundry.
Sets are just the best.
Shop the matching Tokyo Tie-Dye Crop Tee ($125).
Everything is better in ribbed fabric.
Shop the matching leggings.
I'd live in this luxe set.
Shop the matching pants.
You can just tell this is insanely soft.
Shop the matching hoodie.
I'm honestly inspired by this whole outfit.
Simply perfect.
Shop the matching shorts.
Feel like you're home; look like you're ready to go out.
Shop the matching pants.
I think this is what the cool kids call a groufit.
Shop the matching pants.
Pj's, Dresses, and More
Something about the cut of this pj's set feels so forward.
The one you were eyeing when you clicked into this story.
One of my most-purchased pajama brands, hands down.
This looks almost too comfortable.
When the time comes, this will double as party attire.
I feel cozier just looking at this.
My kind of pajamas.
Throw on a pair of slippers, and you're set.
If I were going to walk around the house in a tight dress, it would look like this.
