And the best loungewear for women is super versatile and can be smartened up in a jiffy: simply layer your best blazer over a sporty hoodie, or add a silky blouse to some high-waist joggers.

Ready to get truly indulgent with your loungewear? Introducing these joggers made from 100% silk. With a relaxed fit and a flattering tapered leg they master the art of being comfy and chic effortlessly. As well as being the perfect companion to your favourite sweater, they can easily be dressed up with a pair of barely there sandals and blazer too for when you decide to leave the house.
A grey hoodie is a loungewear staple and this fluffy number is delightfully cozy. It has a relaxed fit and a double-layered hood for extra warmth. The ribbed cuffs and hem add structure to the otherwise oversized silhouette. Go all out and team with the matching joggers and your best white trainers for a casual look that still looks pulled together.
Half-zip sweaters are having a moment in the fashion-sphere giving a sporty spin to your wardrobe basics. The plush teddie sherpa fabric adds texture and interest as well as an extra dose of snugness. The light pink hue softens the silhouette and would look great paired with denim or your best leggings.
Wide-leg trousers are not only a comfy choice but a flattering one too, helping to lengthen legs. These have a rib-knit fabric for added texture and a comfy elasticated waist making them a dream to wear all day long, which is why we think they are one of the best pieces of loungewear for women. The charcoal hue is guaranteed to go with everything and looks particularly chic paired with lighter grays and crisp whites.
A longline cardigan is your fast track way to keeping your loungewear looking smart and elegant. The perfect layering tool, throw over a simple tee and joggers combo for your lazy Sunday attire. Like a wearable blanket you can wrap yourself around in it when you curl up on the sofa for movie night too.
We think we might have found the most luxurious piece of loungewear ever. Nothing is more opulent than plush cashmere and this all-in-one means you can cocoon yourself in the super soft fabric from head-to-toe. The White Company is one of the best British clothing brands and is renowned for its high-quality cashmere, certified by The Good Cashmere Standard. Warning, you may never want to take this one off!.
We’re already obsessed with the Sweaty Betty power leggings and their loungewear does not disappoint either. These cute shorts are crafted from organic cotton making them soft on the skin and breathable too. With a relaxed fit they sit high on the waist and skim over hips and thighs for a flattering finish. Available in seven colors from cheery yellow to refined black.
Not all leggings are made for working out and these super soft leggings are for lounging. Phew! They have a high-rise fit and a wider waistband for extra support and comfort and they don’t lost their shape after washing either. Available in eight different colors and prints we love the rainbow stripe pair for a playful touch.
We’ll admit our hunt for the best loungewear for women means our shopping habit is getting slightly out of control (how many sweaters is too many?) so we’re pleased to find there are plenty of budget-friendly styles out there too. Case in point, these not-so-basic joggers. Ticking all the style credentials from the elasticated high waist to handy side pockets, they also come in eight different shades. The hot pink hue gets our vote.
The best loungewear pieces will work just as well when you’re heading out for brunch as they do inside the comfort of your own home and this sweater does just that. Cut to a relaxed fit it has a turtleneck design for extra coziness and a raw hem for a cool undone finish. Layer over a pleated skirt for a smarter take or team with your straight leg jeans.
If you really want to take your loungewear up a notch then consider this fabulous set from Sleeper. Putting the party into pajama party, this co-ord takes inspiration from vintage styles with its fancy feather trims, pearlescent buttons and lightweight crepe de chine fabric. Unapologetically glamorous, feel indulgent wafting round the house in it or treat it to a night out on the town with a pair of strappy sandals.
Sometimes the best loungewear for women involves no waistband at all and this sweatshirt dress hits that mark. Crafted from organic cotton it has an oversized fit that finishes mid-calf and a side slit for easy movement. Pair it with some stompy boots and the best crossbody bags and it will look chic enough to go out in. Layer a tailored jacket on top for extra polish.
These luxury loungewear sets are designed to be worn by both men and women, inside and outside. The high-quality fabric and energetic prints mean these pieces can be teamed with other items from your capsule wardrobe for a new look, or work together as luxe loungewear. The material is crafted from polyester with a silky finish, and offers a fair bit of stretch, making for a comfy fit. As well as shorts and trouser sets, EVE&DAY also have an attractive range of eye masks and fabric scunchies in the same prints.
The brand also donates to the Just One Tree organisation. Just One Tree targets areas of the world where deforestation and climate change have had a devastating impact on local communities. The organisation also funds kelp regeneration projects and helps to promote environmental education.
