Loungewear has changed the landscape of indoor and outdoor fashion. A cross between sleepwear and athleisure, loungewear is the ultimate must-have if you want sheer comfort, without sacrificing your personal style.
A casual, everyday wear, loungewear has inspired brands and fashionistas alike to revolutionize this comfy, cozy wear so that dressing up for the couch, for the bed, for a Zoom meeting— and even a quick dash to the deli— is fun.
What is Loungewear?
Loungewear is clothing that is somewhere between pajamas and sportswear. It is comfortable, slightly loose, but cut in a way that is stylish. Basically, it’s something that you’d wear at home to get cozy, but would still look presentable in public.
Loungewear vs Sleepwear vs Activewear
Sleepwear
Sleepwear is designed to make you sleep better and is worn only inside the bedroom or in the privacy of your home. Fabric for sleepwear is usually cotton, fleece, flannel, Supima, or knit, and are usually brightly colored with fun prints.
Activewear
Activewear is designed only for sweating it out— sports and exercise. The chief fabric for activewear is polyester (plastic cloth), so it doesn’t absorb your sweat. Plus, it’s wrinkle-free and durable.
Loungewear
Loungewear is not restricted to the bed and home, and it leans toward neutral colors. Fabric for loungewear can be cotton, wool, silk, knit, wove, flannel, or spandex. It frees you from tight-fitting or stuffy clothes, yet it looks sophisticated. While you can sleep in your loungewear, you can’t work out in them.
Loungewear: The Trend
There are various types of loungewear (we’ll get to that in a bit). And the trend is all about mixing and matching your loungewear items with just about anything your heart desires. You can wear 100% loungewear— or pair them with jeans, a coat, stilettos, or even a leather jacket.
Washable silk dress (a type of loungewear) is one huge loungewear trend nowadays. Appropriately accessorized, this silk slip dress is being worn practically everywhere— from an office meeting to a romantic formal date.

3. Jumpsuits
The loungewear jumpsuit has become a staple during our lockdown days. Now that we are gradually easing back into the outside world, we just can’t get separated from it. Who says we have to?
Jumpsuits are now a raging trend— an iconic loungewear piece that can make you look so put together. Pair it combat boots, low-heeled pumps, or a pair of Converse, it can be your outdoor wear in the chilly months of autumn.
Sure, you have to take it all off in the loo, but style and comfort trump any form of inconvenience. This cozy stay-at-home attire is now being worn for leisurely walks in the park, a short trip to the coffee shop, or for walking the dog. For a party mode, you can throw in a denim jacket and some gold hoops.
