Elevated Loungewear

Frank & Eileen loungewear Frank & Eileen loungewearWhile I love to dress up, having a collection of chic loungewear is a closet-must for me.

Here are some of my favorite loungewear sets.

Feeling put together in my loungewear is so important to me, and this set gets a 10 out of 10.  It comes in multiple colors as well as a shorts version for summer.

The fabric is substantial, super soft, and each piece runs TTS.  While there are plenty of cheap loungewear sets out there, I am so glad I invested in this one because it looks sharp and will last forever.

Right now you can get a $50-$500 gift card by shopping here.

Chic Loungewear Set for Summer

Chic Loungewear for Summer Chic Loungewear for SummerTop // Shorts // Sneakers // Sunglasses

Over the weekend I shared 3 loungewear looks I’m loving.

This set is such a chic option for summer.  I’ve already worn it a ton!

It comes in 3 colors and has a sweatpants and sweatshirt option for cooler weather.  The cotton is high-quality and won’t stretch out.

I’m loving the shoulder pad top (total varsity vibes) and roll-top shorts.  It’s built-in casualness that is oh-so-chic.

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.

Top 5 Favorites – April 2020

Wow.  I can’t believe it’s already May.  Quarantine life has felt like 20 years, but at the same time, I’m amazed by how fast the last month flew by.

Since we were all on lockdown the entire month of April, it’s no surprise that your Top 5 Favorites were about self-care and cozy basics.

Here are the Top 5 Products you loved in April.

1. Moisturizer

For the second month in a row, this life-changing moisturizer was one of your Top 5.  After using it for the recommended 28 days, I shared my full review here.

It comes in two formulations – The Rich Cream (for dry/combination skin) and The Cream (for normal/oily skin).  I recommend getting the travel-sized set if you’re not sure which one will be best for you.

2. Cashmere hoodie

Twenty Montreal Joggers

This brand has my heart.  They are super transparent, ethical and make high-quality basics at a fair price.  Read my full review of them here.

This hoodie comes in black and camel and is currently 50% off.  Bonus points – they are having a sitewide 20% off sale.

3. Leggings

These leggings are SO soft and cozy.  You could literally roll out of bed and go outside for a walk in them.  Bonus points – they have pockets!  Truly one of my favorite pairs of leggings ever.

4. Facial Oil

If you are looking for a fantastic facial oil under $35, look no further than this one.  It’s the only moisturizer that I’ve stuck with over the years before finding the holy grail.

5. Acne Eliminating Pads

Cystic acne is the worst.  I wrote about how I found the cure for mine.  These pads are part of my arsenal.  I keep them on constant order so I never run out.  Even if you don’t suffer from cystic acne, these pads will eliminate any signs of pimples keeping your skin clear all month long.

Updated Loungewear Review

In March I shared 3 Loungewear Brands I’m Loving.  With WFH orders still in place, I ended up buying another sweatsuit and researching a handful of other brands.

Here is my updated loungewear review!

I’ve been living in these joggers but really wanted to get a matching set.  I love the simple, chic look of a white sweatsuit, and found this brand.

Les Tien

Les Tien sweatsuit

Their brand mission is to create high-quality basics.  The cotton is super substantial.  No see-through whites here.  I’m wearing a size XS top and bottom in ivory.  Because this brand does unisex sizing, I wish they offered an XXS.  I likely would have ordered an XXS in the pants.  Thankfully there is a drawstring in addition to the elastic waistband so you can tighten them even more.

I love that they have pockets and come in 15 colors – tons of options to choose from!  The length is perfect.  Because the cotton is substantial, this sweatsuit is probably better for fall and winter months, but I love it nonetheless and have been wearing it a ton.

Naadam

Naadam cashmere loungewear

I’ve written about Naadam before, but had to highlight them again because they are currently having a 20% off sale.

I have yet to share this cashmere hoodie and leggings set on the blog.  I wear the hoodie out of the house all the time.  Thanks to the high-quality fabric and chic vibe, it can be paired with just about anything and look amazing.  I wore it with vintage Levi’s and a leather jacket prior to quarantine.

The leggings could be worn out of the house too, but I prefer to lounge in them at home.  They are substantial (not see-through) and the perfect length, but do feel a little pajama-y for me to wear running errands.

I really want to try this cotton/cashmere blend hoodie and these joggers.  The pastel color options are so pretty!

Lunya

Lunya is a go-to brand for me (read my review of their leggings here).  I tried two pairs of their joggers: this draped pair and this fleece pair.

The draped pair feel like a cloud – you could totally sleep in them.  They have a chic, Rick Owens cool-girl vibe.  I love the elastic ankles and bonus points for the pockets!  I ordered an XS and highly recommend them.

The fleece pair is sooooo soft and comfortable, but the fit is very unflattering.  I felt like I was wearing my grandfather’s pajamas.  The waist is SUPER high and when you combine that with a drop crotch, you have to be 6 feet tall and super skinny for them to look cool.  Pass.

Shop Lunya
Mate the Label

I researched this brand a ton and adore that they use organic cotton.  The price point is very reasonable and they have tons of color options.  Unfortunately the color I want is sold out in my size, but as soon as it comes back in stock, I’ll be picking this set up and let you know how it is.
