please recommend lounging clothes?

[redmayneslips]

Hello all stylish people,

Can you please let me know what you all wear lounging around the house? I have just about sorted out going out of the house clothes but find myself slobbing about in ancient tracksuit pants and dh's t-shirts when I am at home and would love to find something comfy but that is a little bit more flattering. Anyone found this holy grail? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I tend to hang about silky pjs TBH. Not actual silk, that'd be fab but too pricey for my budget. Or do you mean daytime rather than evening slobbing?

I just wear whatever clothes I am wearing that day. I don't have special lounging clothes !

I wear this and love it so much I bought two. They do one without the hood. I also bought two of these.

A lot of the time, I just wear old pyjamas or leggings though

I've got a couple of pairs of plain black pj bottoms from Primark they were about £5 I wear them with vest tops or a t shirt then at least if I get visitors I just look like I'm wearing normal clothes rather then pjs

Gap is good for lounging clothes IME, I have some grey tracksuit bottoms from there that have a velvet ribbon at the waist and a (relatively) flattering shape so they're a bit nicer than "just" tracksuit bottoms iyswim.

I also have a couple of elderly cashmere sweaters that are too holey/grubby to wear outside but v comfy so I wear them at home.

my favourites are from Charlotte & co

I lounge. In special lounging clothes. That is what I do.

Charlotte & Co. or Hush are obvious choices. Bought lots of the Charlotte & Co when it went on sale and was very impressed with the quality. It's a finer knit fabric than most and hangs really well. Even wore the harem pants out one evening on holiday

Arf! X-posts with MissFoodie! Great minds an' all that!

What is lounging? I never get the chance :(

i'm wearing the harem pants as we speak, with wrap cardigan and ballet flats, IN OFFICE!

Thank you for all the feedback, I shall browse Charlotte and Co later in peace when dd is in bed! I had totally forgotten about Gap and must take a look in there at the weekend.

It's one of those things, I have been a sahm for the past 6yrs and found it ridiculously difficult to regain any sense of style & comfort that suited my new life outside work, and any spare cash that I had was spent on creating that wardrobe. I have finally just about cracked it and have a good few things that I love now and feel good in.

I recently got a small part time contract and have a teeny bit of money to myself (Oh how I miss a regular wage!) and have started to overhaul my undies (badly, badly needed!!), shoes and finally some decent stuff to wear about the house.

There are days when I am home all day and I don't want to wear my 'good' stuff and these are the skanky tracksuit days but to be honest it is such a 'bad look' I would be embarassed if anyone called unexpectedly iykwim?

So, what I am after is soft, cosy, comfy but semi-fitted or at least vaguely flattering hanging about the house gear, that doesn't cost the earth.

Looking forward to checking out those websites - thanks! (my dh will definitely thank you ;-)

I've got some sweaty betty wide yoga pants, they're great for wearing round the house.

:o

Gap is great for PJ bottoms; lots of lovely prints, reasonable prices and good sales.

Also Manuka. Expensive but gorgeous. And TK Maxx sometimes have their stuff.

I love lounging! I work from home so am a lounge wear fan.

I wear calmia yoga trousers from tk maxx, gap t shirts, and wrap around cardigans.flip flops in summer, uggs in winter. I also have a couple of hoodies for when it's cold.

ladyclarice can't believe you posted that Manuka link..........yet another site full of gorgeous things......aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

what are the trousers like? are they thinnish jersey like Charlotte & Co?

Gap Body is lovely, or Primark separates. Joules have some nice bits and Lands End as well.

Sorry!

I don't know Charlotte & Co, but the Manuka trousers in my (limited) experience are quite nice and thick, but soft and slinky.

Hush fold over top yoga pants.

White Company yoga pant things. I usually wear these with big fluffy socks, a fitted t-shirt and a grey cardigan.

Actually, the above is a lie (at least some of the time). Usually I wear said yoga pants with an enormous cashmere jumper which I've stolen off dp, and which is v pale blue so totally not my colour - comfortable though!

I have a Manuka top and shed loads of Calmia....all from TK Maxx, I should add.

The Calmia stuff is really nice but a few years old, plus I'm really loving the harem style at the moment as it looks marginally less like loungewear. I work from home too so probably have a slightly different slant on it.

Really liking these on the site that LadyClarice linked to, for example. Thinking they might be quite slinky.

So love my Charlotte & Co stuff though. And was such a bargain. Bought 3 pairs of the harem pants

When I'm lounging at home, I end up wearing leggings and big baggy top (sometimes i throw in a nice necklace) - its comfortable and stylish!

Gap has a decent sale on at the mo - up to 50% off some stuff, plus if you sign up for emails you get a further 15% off. I bought balance pants (like yoga pants) and a few tops. Ideal for throwing on and knocking about.

I like the Hush stuff someone linked to upthread. I've never had nice but casual stuff to put on before, it's revolutionised my life

Brocade dressing gown and a velvet smoking cap, natch.

And a monocle to complete the look, I hope.

Most certainly.
