How to Do the Most with Your Loungewear Drawer
The things once relegated to Sundays recuperating at home and late-night froyo missions are now bona fide closet heroes. Soft tees and tanks, snuggle-worthy pullovers, sweats you actually want to be seen in—the loungewear category is having a renaissance, and we’re here for it. Since a well-stocked comfy drawer no longer starts (or ends) with heather-grey joggers, we’ve compiled a list of the chicest pieces to invest in, plus the perfect add-ons to go with.
IF YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE…
Market trips, holiday shopping, distanced meetups with former deskmates—it’s all nicer in a sumptuous cashmere set. A charcoal puffer and street-smart boots keep the look from reading too casual, while a woven tote holds your essentials (phone, mask, shades).

IF YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO BE…
You’ve made a sizable dent in your reading list, baked more sourdough boules than you can count, and crushed The Queen’s Gambit in one weekend: You are the master of downtime. Dress the part in a chic matching set and—this is key—something toasty on your feet.

IF YOU TAKE CALLS AT YOUR COFFEE TABLE…
Can’t remember whether you wore today’s hoodie to the last camera-on meeting? Swap it for a cozy knit instead (turtleneck, V-neck, button-neck—take your pick). No need to go overboard with pants-pants here; billowy wide-legs that accommodate sitting cross-legged will suffice.

IF YOU’VE GOT A HOT DATE…
A thigh-high side slit transforms the humble sweaterdress from slouchy to see-you-at-8 material. Beat the chill of outdoor dining with a drapey tweed coat, croc-embossed boots, and a bag that matches the Malbec you’ll order.

THE BACKUP CREW
If the past nine months have taught us anything, it’s that all wear can be loungewear if you try hard enough. But there’s something about soft separates designed specifically for home—say, a cashmere polo or a cardigan-inspired jumpsuit—that make all this time indoors more pleasant.
