When high summer rolls out, my favorite thing to do in the city during the weekends isn't going out to a rooftop bar with friends or frolicking around Central Park—it's staying indoors with the air conditioning blasting and watching my comfort show, Gilmore Girls. Sure, you can find me doing that same Sunday routine year-round, but there's something special about laying on your couch and vegging out with the windows open so that you can feel the summer breeze.
Now that the temperatures are nearing their peak, I'm swapping my Sunday sweatpant OOTDs for light, breathable, and comfy summer loungewear that looks and feels good. Oversize boxer shorts, pointelle camisoles, and lacy baby tees are all on my agenda. Below, scroll to see 31 of the cutest, coziest summer loungewear staples you won't want to miss out on. The best part? They're all under $50. It doesn't get better than that.
Trust me—the extra $2 are worth it for this TikTok-viral pair.
