During the gloomy winter, any opportunity to bundle up in comfortable clothes and escape the cold is always welcomed. But relaxed dressing by no means has to be slobbish. We hear from leading designers and stylists on how to style loungewear luxuriously this season.
The key pieces. “A chic loungewear wardrobe begins with timeless essentials that offer both comfort and style,” says fashion designer and podcaster Amanda Wakeley OBE. “For me, a luxurious pair of cashmere joggers, a well-cut T-shirt, and a hoodie are the perfect starting point. I also love an oversized cardigan to layer up, some cashmere socks, and definitely a pair of sheepskin slides or mules.”.
“These foundational pieces aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re about treating yourself. “Just because we are talking loungewear doesn’t mean we want to reach for our scruffiest, oldest pieces,” says Wakeley. “Wearing a gorgeous piece is a form of self-care, a treat to oneself.”.
“Silhouettes that complement your figure, such as high-waisted, flared leggings or wide-leg joggers, elevate the look.”. But what are the wardrobe staples? “Oversized jumpers and knits for a relaxed yet stylish vibe, tailored joggers, and matching sets for an effortless yet put-together outfit,” says Blount.
Fabrics and textures to look for. Fabric choice is everything when it comes to looking and feeling elegant in your comfy clothes. “Look for sumptuous materials like cashmere, silk, and fine merino wool, which feel as indulgent as they appear,” says Wakeley.
