People Say My Vibe Is Cozy and Cool—Here Are 9 Comfy Outfits I Approve Of

Admit it: There are days when all you want to do is throw on a comfortable outfit and forgo the dress codes of work and social events. For me, those days are 90% of them. Recently, my co-workers categorized my style as "cozy and cool," and I'm not entirely sure I reach a high level of cool, but I can say I've mastered the skill of putting together a comfortable 'fit. Just because you're wearing something cozy doesn't mean it can't also be stylish, especially with the trends that have garnered attention in the past few years. Matching sets, ribbed dresses, and printed knits—I'll take the whole lot.

If you want evidence that a lounging item can make it outside your home, just look at the outfits below that I gathered from the fashion set. Whether you're slipping into your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans, an oversize sweater, or a worn-in T-shirt, there are ways to elevate your comfy look. Keep scrolling to see winning outfits you'll want to keep repeating.

Even during New York Fashion Week, Maria proves that comfort is the priority. Sweatshirts used to come primarily in simple colors or with large logos, but now, there are plenty of fun printed ones on the market that are better suited to styling.

Knit dresses are the best of both worlds. They're soft and comfortable, yet their silhouette keeps you looking polished.

Here's proof that knit sets aren't only for lounging around. A good pair of boots and standout accessories will have you ready to be out and about.

If you want something really easy, purchase the full matching set and keep it at that so you have an easy outfit on deck.

While most knit sets are cropped, a long-length one just adds the right amount of elevation.

Boleros have officially become a sweater staple. Pair yours with a simple tank like Imani or opt for a printed one if you want a little more fun.

This is the kind of set you need on a dreary day. The loud print is enough of a statement, but some accessorizing doesn't hurt.

After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
