What Is Loungewear?

Falling somewhere between athleisure and sleepwear, loungewear includes relaxed silhouettes, comfy fabrics and often neutral palettes. Although loungewear is easy and effortless, there are a few things to consider before shopping.

Comfort: Go for fabrics that are soft, cosy but feel put together too. Breathable cottons and linens are always a popular choice!

Fresh palettes: Loungewear is typically crafted in neutral hues but this year we are seeing some splashes of colour!

Timeless designs: Go for versatile pieces you can wear for years to come.

What's The Difference Between Sleepwear And Loungewear?

Loungewear usually includes clothing items such as leggings, joggers, tees and track shorts, while sleepwear includes pyjamas, nighties and gowns. A good test to determine the difference is to see if you'd be willing to leave the house in it! No? Then it's probably sleepwear!
