14 Casual Outfits to Wear for Your Next Family Movie Night

Whether you consider yourself a homebody or not, sometimes an evening spent watching the latest Netflix feature is exactly what you need, especially when that means quality time with your loved ones. As tempting as it is to complete your family movie nights with a pair of the most lived-in T-shirts and leggings, we as fashion lovers want to be stylish in all aspects of our lives—and yes, that includes hours on your couch.
Finding the right middle ground between blissful comfort and still looking put-together isn’t always easy, but it can be done. From a fashion girl–approved way to style your favorite sweats to a cozy sweater ensemble you’ll never want to take off, a night in can be more stylish than you’d imagine. To demonstrate just that, we pulled together our favorite chic and comfortable outfits that you’ll want to live in. Check them out below.
Style a lightweight sweater with a pair of comfortable corduroy pants for hours of sitting.
You can’t go wrong with a sweater layered over a turtleneck for a polished movie-night look.
