1. Sweatsuit
A sweatsuit is basically no-fail right now for lounging at home. You can also dress one up with booties or sneakers and a maxi coat for a masked-up errands run.
2. Longline Cardigan
A duster cardigan is quite chic to elevate any vibe—whether that's with a coordinating set or other lounge separates.
3. Ribbed Dress
In the dress realm, it's all about the ribbed knit dress for a sleek yet still comfortable vibe.
4. House Shoes
A solid pair of house shoes is a must for that day-to-day life. A fluffy pair is cozy and cute.
5. Sweater-Shorts
Clearly joggers and sweatpants are a must, but knit shorts could also be worth considering as another loungewear alternative.
6. Relaxed Jeans
If you're opting for jeans, consider a loose cut—trendy and practical with the relaxed fit.
7. Knit Polo
A knit polo is forward and easy. That perfect pick is also a solid comfy choice if you need to look a bit more dressed up on a Zoom call.
