I'm a Fashion Director, and I'm Sure These Are the Best Cozy Items to Buy Now
When we’re looking for expert style advice and fresh shopping inspiration to consider for the season, we routinely turn to Shopbop’s fashion director Caroline Maguire. After all, her sartorial point of view is always highly intriguing given that it’s her literal job to guide fashion direction for one of our go-to retailers. On that note, Shopbop actually recently launched a new activewear and cozy edit called Shopbop Moves. Given that we’re spending more time at home, we thought there could be interest in uncovering the comfortable and active pieces she’s personally gravitating towards.
Essentially, there are three general loungewear items Maguire believes could be worth considering because they’re equal parts comfortable and chic. They’re also highly versatile and could be mixed and matched with other items to create top-notch looks. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out the pieces Maguire is all about, complete with a range of inspired picks sprinkled throughout as well.
Matching Sets
"Lately, I’ve been loving matching sets. I love that you can separate the pieces, giving you more options to create outfits that are either dressed up or down. Bold prints and styles are still all the rage for spring 2021 so I love this tie-dye set from Phat Buddha or this standout style snakeskin printed-legging–and–bra-set from Alo Yoga to up the workout game.”—Maguire
Bold Sneakers
"What better way to kick start the New Year than with bright and bold sneakers? Asics’s Kiko Kayano sneaker is perfect for runners. If you’re looking for a more streetwear-inspired look, New Balance shoes are just for you. Pair their 990v5 sneaker with a Year of Ours sweatsuit and you’ll have mastered the quarantine-chic look.”
Chic Sweats
"If you’re looking to lay low or take a safe walk outside, this Year of Ours sweatshirt-and-sweatpant set is cute, comfy, and perfect for pairing with a trend-forward sneaker.”
