Perfect for cosy days at home, the best loungewear is something you'll never regret buying particularly during these cold, gloomy days we've been faced with lately.
Whilst national lockdowns are well and truly in the past, our love of loungewear stays strong, with sales of the cosy sets going through the roof at the likes of Net-A-Porter, Matches Fashion and Zara.
At home, loungewear is great paired with fluffy slippers, and for socialising, you can easily dress up your joggers and loungewear sets with a tailored camel coat and chunky ankle boots.
This season, there's plenty of choice, whether you're after mood-lifting colourful joggers, luxurious cashmere hoodies or impossibly soft cotton and wool sets.
You'll be wearing your loungewear a lot, so do choose wisely. If money is no object, I recommend a lovely cashmere or knitted piece that will last you way beyond this winter.
On the more casual side of things, good quality cotton t-shirts, sweatshirts and tracksuit bottoms are always a good idea, and can look incredibly cool, just ask the LA set including Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. They're a great travel companion too, for those lucky enough to be going on a skiing holiday. Once you've tasted that comfort, you'll never be able to go back.
For staying at home, I'm also a big fan of robes, which you can just throw over anything from a knitted dress to your favourite pyjamas. The good news is the high street has some excellent purse-friendly options.
From lounge sets to cashmere jumpers and wide-leg soft trousers, keep scrolling to shop the best loungewear available as recommended by our editors.

Editor Verdict:
"In the softest brushed organic cotton, this pullover is as cosy as can be. For the full effect, you can also finish the look with the matching brushed cotton joggers, which I can personally say are the comfiest pair I've ever owned. Plus, the brand is carbon neutral and is also on the path to becoming B Corp certified, so Gym+Coffee is the kind of label you can feel good about investing in." - Zoe Anastasiou, Fashion Editor
Editor Verdict:
"These Adanola shorts are comfy and have an affordable price point. Aside from they just look oh, so cool! I love them!" - Ally Head, Health and Sustainability Editor
Editor's Verdict:
"The thing I love about these Zara trousers is that they're not only soft, and have a comfy elasticated waistband, but they're also slightly cropped which is great if you're petite. Not only that, but they also feel quite elevated for knitted trousers, which means I can easily wear them to the shops if I just add a coat and some trainers." - Grace Lindsay, Shopping Writer
Editor Verdict:
"As someone that lives in loungewear, it's fair to say I've tried a fair few of the most well-known brands. Surprisingly, it's Intimissimi that takes the medal for my favourite. The brand's cashmere and modal blends are insanely soft and provide almost unbelievable levels of comfort. Every time I repurchase, I thank my lucky stars I found them." - Shannon Lawlor, Beauty Editor
