For a lot of fashion lovers, the best part of leaving the house happens before they ever do, when, in the sanctity of their closets, they select what to wear. But such creativity and joy need not be reserved for outings. These days, given the boom in athleisure and loungewear, unexpectedly chic homebound items are plentiful.
The oversized hoodies we’ve had for what seems like centuries, the ultra-soft t-shirts we’ve washed a million times, and the sweatpants that swallow us whole are comforting and familiar, sure, but not usually classified as cute or fashion-forward by any means. Or so we thought until we saw some of the most sartorially on-point models and celebs styling their loungewear and PJs to perfection.
Loungewear couldn’t be more ideal for when you have to venture into the world, but still want to feel like a part of you is snuggling in the coziness of your home.
Joggers
Joggers are a must right now, not just because of the pandemic but also because they’re actually trendy. Make your favorite cozy joggers with a simple t-shirt (cropped or not). The way you really elevate this loungewear look is with accessories. Add cute sandals and a few layered necklaces. These small touches really change the aesthetic of a simple loungewear look.
Bonus! This is a great trick to break up loungewear sets to get more wear out of them.
Pajamas
Yes, you can wear your super comfy pajamas not just out of bed but out of the house as well. The key is to know how to make it look classier and not like your usual just out-of-the-bed look.
Add a few stylish elements to complete your outfit. Wear heels; try statement jewelry, a trendy purse, or bright red lipstick. You can even pair up your outfit with a short robe as a jacket!
Hoodies
Loungewear clothes should feel soft and warm against your skin. No doubt you tend to choose natural fabrics like cotton, cashmere, and silk. Not just the comfort but these fabrics give your loungewear pieces a more elegant and sophisticated look, especially for when you want to wear those outdoors.
Almost everyone owns a hoodie. It not only allows you to feel warm but also gives off quite the clean and sophisticated appearance. Now for the first time, you won’t feel out of place when wearing a hoodie all the time!
Tracksuits
There was a time when people only used to wear tracksuits for workouts. But not anymore! Tracksuits allow you that cozy feeling even outside your home that too while sporting a fashion-forward look.
Here’s how you can ace this style with a tracksuit. First, try wearing the pieces of your tracksuit separately. You don’t have to wear the top and the pants together all the time.
Try pairing a cashmere sweater with the pants, or a trench coat, or even a leather jacket would go well. Make sure the jogging pants for women look fitted and tapered at the leg. Also, try to stick to a single shade neutral or dark to perfectly nail this look.

When it comes to loungewear, here’s our advice:
For a chic and elevated look, stick to neutrals. Practically anything looks great when you steer toward a monochromatic color palette. Don’t forget, layering is key. Whether you plan on grabbing a purse or reaching for comfortable sneakers, is completely your call.

Just because you’re working from home or spending a lot of time at home, doesn’t mean you have to stay in your PJs all day. Or does it? Never underestimate the power of a cute stay-in outfit to perk up your daily stroll to the kitchen and your work desk/dining table.
