The best loungewear outfit ideas to elevate your comfy companions
The shell suit ruled the 80's and boy have we mocked it since then, but wait - there is a revival of joggers and oversized sweat tops. They're back but they've transformed into the perfect combination of style and comfort - loungewear!
What is loungewear, anyway?
Initially loungewear was defined as comfortable clothing that you wear at home that isn't pyjamas (although let's face it, we've all had our fair share of PJ days lately). However, as we all jumped onboard the loungewear bandwagon due it's pure practicality whilst spending so much time at home, many designers began creating joggers, comfy jeans, sweaters, hoodies and knits that were too beautiful to keep behind closed doors and it is now a popular day look.
How ladies loungewear became an outfit you can wear out
First we saw likes of the Kardashians starting to style their work out gear as street style worthy outfits, then the trend began to pick up momentum as a street style look, but since Lockdown 1 hit back in March 2020 (remember?!) loungewear has begun a wardrobe staple, an every day look - our pandemic uniform!
But it's not all oversized, unflattering joggers and sports cropped tops - no! Loungewear can be chic, classic and very stylish. We've taken inspiration from our favourite customer looks of last year and scoured good old social to create our run down of the best loungewear outfit ideas to keep your new favourite wardrobe essential looking fresh.
