While we normally take a highly curated approach to most aspects of our wardrobes, there’s one area it’s become apparent that we’ve really been neglecting: our loungewear.
And it makes sense! When you’ve got a limited budget, you don’t normally want to spend it on pieces that won’t see outside the four walls of your apartment. But, with many of us spending a lot more time at home (whether mandated or not), those of us who do normally find joy, inspiration, or comfort in expressing ourselves through our sartorial choices, might now be feeling a little lost when it comes to what to wear when staying in.
Like the tree falling in the forest analogy—should we even bother putting together an outfit if nobody’s going to see it? You get our drift.
And while we’re certainly not saying good loungewear is going to solve any of the world's problems, there’s something to be said about the comfort and security that can be gained from slipping on a "together-fit". Putting you in the right headspace to get shit done - even if it is only from the waist up, over a Zoom call.
Keep scrolling for our shopping list of essential loungewear pieces that nail the brief; Work from home, but make it fashion.
