Lounge wear.

I have just discovered “lounge wear”.
Basically when I come home from work I like to get out of my uniform ASAP.
I don’t like getting into pjs as I like to have a shower before putting clean pjs on.
I need a set of clothes that I can put on, probably not need to pop to the shops or anything in, but I can put bins out, get the washing in, answer the door to Hermes etc, without looking like I’m in pyjamas at 4pm.
Maybe something tracksuit type looking.
Budget of around £25?
All I can find is horrible slogan stuff or things way out of my price range!

Added bonus of being able to do the full house clean whilst wearing it!
As I cannot bear to be hoovering and bending over to tidy up for 2 hours in skinny jeans!

Worth a rummage around in TKMaxx for yoga pants; I’ve found some by good brands over the years. The loose ones with a foldover waist rather than the leggings style.

Ooohhh ok will have a look.
I’ve got leggings and I’ve got joggers... but I think my main problem is a cosy top, which isn’t a thick hoodie.
I like the look of the matching lounge wear tracksuits, they look comfy and cosy and non pyjama like.
So it’s finding something to wear with yoga pants that I’d struggle with!

I just wear jogging bottom type things with a fleece.

This sort of thing

Ok, like the idea of a fleece. Where can I get one?
Can’t remember seeing one in the shops for a long time!

Mountain warehouse has fleece tops and there’s always a sale on
I want something less heavy than fleece but yoga pants sound nice for my bottom half. If only my bottom was pert😱

Always harem type pants so loose not tight, a t shirt and cardi if needed. Sometimes if cold merino singlet underneath t. Bra always off though 🤫

There were some really gorgeous tops/jogging bottoms in Matalan last week, very lightweight and so soft.

This might require a trip back to buy them......

Tk Maxx.
Last year I got a cotton cashmere lounge set in the Pj section. They had jumpers,joggers and cardigans in three different colours.
This year I’ve bought some Elle hipster sport joggers in khaki. I’ve sized up so they’re slouchy.

Harem pants are great, really comfortable. I get mine from Hush but they are a bit pricier than your budget. Not sure if anywhere else does them - might be worth looking on Amazon? In winter I wear them with a loose long jumper - I have a few that I got from H&M.

I wear yoga pants / harem pants with soft vest bra, vest top, and cardigan or hoodie. V comfortable.

ImogenTubbs · 02/09/2018 09:52

I wear yoga pants and a vest with a cardigan over the top. I try and keep it quite 'fresh' looking so grey yoga pants and a white vest, and make sure they are clean, otherwise it can become quite scummy quite quickly. Confused

Love all of these ideas.
Off to tk maxx and back to matalan!!!
