To ask how you make loungewear

[MiaMarshmallows]

Work in public without looking like you are wearing pyjamas?

Hammering, no, just a dressing gown is all that's needed according to that picture. If that is stylish, I'll cut my throat now.

Crew neck and cardigan twin set, leggings, slouchy ankle boots. Job done.

Lounge is always, only and exclusively for wearing at home. Nowhere further than putting out the bin.

Just go with neutral colours (nothing striped, dotty etc) and with no obvious lounge wear / sleep wear slogans (like bunny ears,’sleepy head’ etc ). I have some Gap 100% cotton sleepwear tops that don’t look like loungewear.

I am so confused, why would you wear loungewear in public?

This Primark set is quite neutral www.primark.com/en/all-primark-products/our-full-womens-fashion-range/womens-clothing/womens-pyjamas/womens-pyjama-set/white-and-grey-pyjama-set/p/132990316

There are definitely lounge wear sets made for wearing out, kind of like tracksuits.

It depends what you consider lounge wear.

I can wear a lot of my indoor stuff outside ,no problem. It's comfortable,sometimes quite loose, but not specifically pyjamas so they won't look as such.

I think there is a difference between real loungewear and twin-set/co-ords.

Jogger/sweater/hoodie combos look good if they are matching in colour and paired with a great coat, and your hair and makeup are relatively "done"

I also think they look smarter when they are knit/cashmere but I like the more slouchy cotton ones too.

Aren’t you ... lounging in loungewear?

OP, I think you’re doing it wrong

Whenever I attempt the loungewear aesthetic, I look like I’ve escaped from a Women’s prison.

I don't. But I have super comfortable stretchy jeans and comfortable tops.

Most of these would be ok to wear outside,just not the whole matching outfit. I think that's in part what gives them the pyjama look.

By wearing my husbands trackies

Velvet joggers, cashmere jumper, a lovely coat and scarf.

Luxe lounge.

Joggers? I buy the men's ones from H&M, I can wear of an evening while "lounging" but equally wear them to nip to the shops ... they're not stylish if that's what you're after buy they are technically outerwear so I don't look like I've gone out in my pyjamas

Google leisure suit!

Oh wow, I remember leisure suits. They used to feature in DM's Kays catalogue back in the 80s. Always seemed to be in a pastel yellow, blue or pink. Tracky bottoms, with or without elastication, paired with a zip fronted top with contrasting piping and definitely some sort of embellishment to the collarbone/shoulders area. Usually some floral embroidery.

Not caring, works for me?

I think matching top and bottom makes it stand out as loungewear/pjs.

Cashmere is not loungewear, it’s woolly!

You make it work by not giving one shiney shite what other people think. Most people walk around worrying about people noticing what they wear and judging them for it. The reality is, nobody even notices what you wear, nor cares because they are far too worried about what you think of them.

Cashmere IS loungewear

I meant not for me, it makes me itch.

Luxe lounge is the right vibe

Hush cuffed trousers (Ami's?) plus a cashmere jumper and trainers - jewellery/biker jacket/scarf/ messy bun/definitely make up

You don’t: it’s for your lounge.

Go and get properly dressed.
