Best Loungewear Sets for Women

Best Overall: Cozy Earth Bamboo Joggers

Joggers, especially buttery soft ones from Cozy Earth, are great for lounging in. Featuring ultra-soft brushed fabric, they’re exactly what we want to pad around the house in on lazy Sundays, and can be kept on if we need to do a quick run to the store. If bamboo isn’t your favorite material, they’re also available in cashmere, modal, and rib-knit. No wonder they were one of Oprah’s favorite things in 2022.

Editor’s Note: “The Cozy Earth Bamboo Joggers are some of my favorite bottoms to wear,” shared Victoria Giardinia, The Post’s Commerce Writer at Content Strategist. “Not only are they buttery soft but everyone in my family is obsessed with the material; they always want to steal it out of my closet! When I’m lounging on the couch watching Netflix or running around the house cleaning, these are the bottoms I reach for. Oh, and everything else from Cozy Earth — bamboo sheets included — are worth the investment.”

Best Bamboo Loungewear: Cozy Earth Long Sleeve Bamboo Pajama Set

If you want to get technical, the main difference between pajamas and loungewear is that the latter can be worn outside. However, we’d be more than happy to wear these (with a coat) to drive the kids to school. We certainly would wear them on WFH days and weekends. Lightweight and moisture-wicking, they have the perfect amount of stretch and a comfortable relaxed fit. Available in 13 colors, they were named one of Oprah’s favorite things in 2019.

Editor’s note: “These are my new favorite loungewear because of the weighted quality of the fabric,” said Commerce Reporter, Emma Sutton-Williams. “It’s almost like a perpetual hug around my body, which honestly I need when I get home from a day in the city (people, it’s brutal out there). The bamboo is cooling all night and chic enough to handle a Zoom call by day.”

Editor’s Note: “I turn to SKIMS for anything sexy. Leave it to Kim K. to turn loungewear into a turn-on.

What is the difference between pajamas and loungewear?

This is a great question because women’s pajamas and loungewear do have a lot in common. They’re both comfortable, perfect for naps, as well as lazy days around the house.

Similarities aside, they’re not the same. Here are a few of their differences:

Purpose: Although they’re both comfy, pajamas are designed for sleep, while loungewear is made to be worn outside. Because people benefit from cooler environments when bedtime rolls around, many pajamas are made with temperature regulating materials, such as silk or bamboo. In contrast, loungewear fabric tends to be thicker and more protective against the elements.

Style: Fashion-wise, loungewear is very versatile, coming in the form of joggers, oversized shirts, leggings, hoodies and shorts. Although pajamas can be versatile too, most have the same style prototype: a matching bottom and top with buttons, collar — you get the picture. They also tend to be lighter than loungewear pieces.

Material: In comparison to pajamas, loungewear can be made from a wider range of materials because they’re meant for the outdoors. Heavier fibers, such as fleece or knit blends are just as common as sets made from 100% cotton.

Pajamas are usually made from lighter materials that are breathable, such as cotton, silk or satin. While there are exceptions, like fleece pajamas, they still wouldn’t have the design details to make them appropriate for outside. Hoodies, sleeves with thumbholes and similar features are common in loungewear, making it easier to transition from your couch to the local bodega without much fuss. Can you nap in them? Sure, but they’re truly meant to bring the comfort of PJs with a little more protection.

Are lounge sets still in style?

Loungewear has been around since the 1940s, but it stepped back into the spotlight in 2020 when many of us took a more…relaxed approach to our appearance.

The cool thing about the loungewear sets of today is that they’re fairly easy to dress up. This means that they can not only be enjoyed when relaxing at home but going out.

How to style loungewear

1. Be intentional with your footwear: The quickest way to vamp up a loungewear set is with your shoes. Pairing strappy heels with tapered or jogger-style lounge pants not only streamlines the entire look, but gives a more sophisticated feel to the overall ensemble. Alternatively, chunky sneakers or platform boots can edge up the look of your loungewear.
2. Add a blazer: A jacket instantly takes loungewear up a notch. Choose one that balances the proportions of your chosen loungewear set. For example, if your pants are extra baggy, a more tailored jacket will help to offset them. Similarly, if your pants are more fitted, an oversized blazer will add a more relaxed but still put together element to the outfit.
3. Accessorize: If you can’t be bothered with the above, you can still jazz up your set with jewelry. A chunky pair of gold hoops or necklace can neutralize the casualness loungewear can have. It’s also an easy way to add some sparkle or a focal point to your look, especially if it’s monochrome.
