Chic Loungewear You Can Leave the House In

I wonder.  Once the pandemic is over, do you think people will look at their loungewear collection and blanche?  Or can you never have enough loungewear?

Jeans and heels used to be THE uniform.  I wonder if sweats and sneakers are now the name of the game.

If you tuned into my Fashion Friday, I talked about the only brands reporting profits year-over-year.  Unsurprisingly, they were all loungewear/athletic wear brands.  Lululemon, Under Armour, Adidas and Nike are up 50% since last year.  They’re not just surviving.  They’re thriving.

As a mom and someone who works from home, loungewear is actually quite important to me.  But I have to feel like I can step out of the house and look put together and not like I’m making a coffee run in my pajamas.

I’ve written about 3 of my favorite loungewear brands before, and today I wanted to expound on that.

While Anine Bing is not technically a loungewear brand, her graphic tees and classic, elevated pieces make for a total wardrobe package.  Out of all the sweatshirts I own, this is by far the one I wear the most.  The color is versatile, it’s super chic and so comfortable.  I really want to get this graphic tee, but sadly it’s sold out in my size.

While my joggers are sold out, I’ve linked some other similar styles below.

If you’ve never perused the brand before, I highly encourage you to check out her pieces.  She’s an influencer/model turned designers and one of the VERY few who can claim being legit.  She’s been designing her line for years and her aim is to make elevated wardrobe basics that can be easily interchanged.  Like a capsule wardrobe on steroids.

I will happily lounge in her wears.

How to Style a Silk Skirt

While we shot this look pre-quarantine, it couldn’t be a better time to post it.

I love a good silk skirt.  They truly are a closet staple.  I own a champagne colored one and knew I wanted to add a black one to the mix.  Right now this skirt is 25% off.

In fact, Anine Bing is doing a 25% off sitewide sale.  It’s a great time to save on her other closet staples like graphic tees, denim and silk separates.

If you’re unfamiliar with her, she is a model influencer turned designer.  Beyond her cool-girl style that is copied the world over, she’s legit.  This isn’t a blogger playing designer.  She’s the real deal.  Her brand started in 2012 and its aim is to create chic, comfortable pieces that can be worn day to night.

I picked up this sweatshirt and these joggers in the sale.  I’ve been trying to add more chic loungewear to my closet (because WFH) but SO much is sold out!

If you missed my post on the 3 loungewear brands I’m loving, now is a great time to check them out.  They’re carried by several retailers and actually have joggers, sweatpants and sweatshirts in stock.

But back to this silk skirt.  I elevated the look with statement boots and a cozy sweater, but you could take it up a notch further or dress it down.

I’d add a silk cami, leather jacket and heeled sandals for something dressier.  To dress it down, try a graphic tee and sneakers.  These are my fave graphic tees are these are my fave sneakers.
