With the party season officially over and chilly weather drawing in, it’s officially time to put the fancy frocks to the back of the closet and snuggle up in your comfiest clobber.
Now is the time you have a licence to parade your loungewear from morning through to night - as long as you’re not leaving the house! Although designer pyjamas are a key catwalk trend for the upcoming season, this look is all about having a stylish go-to drawer of ‘home only’ pieces.
Whether you’re a 24-hour glamour puss or carefree sweats and T-shirt kinda girl, everyone needs some staple loungewear to make the winter more bearable. Here’s our guide to luxe loungewear.
Nightie night
One for the girly girls. If you like your clothes to be pretty and pink then this patterned Floozie by Frost French nightie is for you.
Deer diary
A reindeer isn’t just for Christmas. La Senza’s Bambi-style cami and shorts duo will have you looking super cute all year round.
Baa baa bootie
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you can’t deny the comfort factor of sheepskin boots. Uggs are a great option for warm indoor footwear that can also work outside.
Happy feet
It takes a brave person to pull on a pair of thigh-high woollen socks and strut the streets. If you’re not up to the challenge, work them indoors with a pair of pyjama shorts or nightie.
Jump to it
A super-soft jumper is a closet essential for the cold-snap months. Head to COS for this grey long-line jumper - buy a size bigger for ultimate oversized slouchy comfort.
Woolly wonder
Those with a penchant for the Eighties (or just an extra smidgen of warmth) will love a pair of leg warmers to layer over tights and leggings. They can even be worn on the wrists as arm cuffs if you’re in a short-sleeved tee.
Pashmina perfection
A silky scarf not only adds a flash of textured detail to your outfit but also doubles up as a makeshift blanket slung over your shoulders when temperatures really plummet.
Check mate
Traditionalists won’t be able to resist the lure of checked pyjama bottoms. Try Next for this patterned pair in iconic red plaid.
Leg it
Leggings have hit the mainstream as acceptable daywear but you can’t beat them for staple indoor attire too. Steer clear of the leather numbers and pick out a cotton pair a size too big to ensure they don’t dig in around your waist.
It’s a wrap
The finishing touch to any loungewear look is a long-length wrap cardigan layered over the top. This grey print version from Soul Cal at Republic has the added benefit of a waist tie for a more glamorous take on the dressing gown.
