27 Loungewear Essentials To Activate Your Chill Mood

This year has been one of the best — and busiest — I've had in a while, but now I'm ready to relax in my comfy loungewear essentials. My work from home job doesn't require me to dress up, but I've logged more hours at coffee shops than I care to admit. Now that I'll be home for a longer stretch of time, I don't want to worry about putting effort into my outfits. I want to be 'cozy slippers and weighted blanket' comfortable.

I'm sure you're in full-blown OOO mode too, so I'm sharing 27 loungewear essentials I've searched high and low for. From matching sets to fleece pullovers, your online shopping buddy's got your relaxation needs covered.

Matching Sets

H&M Oversized Sweater & Flared Pants

I've been eyeing this oversized loungewear set for a while, but I think it's time to add it to my cart. It's the perfect neutral shade that'll go with the oversized chunky knit cardigan I keep wearing.

Petal & Pup Aylia Ribbed Knit Set

If you're a rib knit girl, you'll love Petal & Pup's matching set! You can wear it around the house and while you're making a midday run to your local coffee shop.

Soma Intimates Long-Sleeves V-Neck Set

Simplicity is still trendy, especially when it involves a loungewear set in a beautiful Bordeaux color. Great — now I'm thinking about buying a bottle of red wine to go with dinner tonight.

Abercrombie & Fitch Lounge Waffle Sweater Hoodie & Short

This waffle sweater and short combo is begging to be worn while you're sitting in front of your space heater. What? It's not like I know from experience or anything.

Lounge Dresses

H&M Viscose-Blend Dress

I love Skims as much as the next girl, but sometimes we need affordable lounge maxi dresses. How lucky are we that someone on H&M's design team got the hint?

SKIMS Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress

But, this doesn't mean that your S.O. can't surprise you with a long slip dress from Skims' soft lounge collection. Between us, it's becoming a tradition that my partner gets me at least one thing from Skims during Christmas.

Joyspun Plush Lounger

You don't have to think twice about whether you need this plush lounger or not. It's basically a weighted blanket and dress wrapped in one!

Pullovers & Hoodies

Petal & Pup Whistler Knit Sweater

Pullovers just make sense during winter.

Lululemon Oversized Funnel-Neck Half Zip

For extra room, go for this oversized funnel-neck half zip sweater.

Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Long Full-Zip Hoodie

Is it a cardigan or a hoodie? Technically it's the latter, but you can get away with wearing it like a cute duster.

Everlane The ReTrack Oversized Crew

Capsule wardrobes aren't going anywhere, so start with the basics by investing in at least one good oversized crewneck sweater.

Girlfriend Collective Half-Zip Sweatshirt

Girlfriend Collective 50/50 Half-Zip Sweatshirt

We love a half-zip sweatshirt that's size-inclusive!

GAP Vintage Soft Raglan Sweatshirt

Channel your inner Mean Girls character with this soft raglan sweatshirt.

Cardigans

Free People Hollywood Cardi

Just because loungewear is designed to be comfortable doesn't mean it has to be boring.

Lucky Brand Mixed Cable Cardigan

This reminds me of the longer chunky knit cardigan I have, but it's actually great for petite girls. You can always get longline cardigans tailored, but buying one that sits perfectly at your waist is always a cool option.

MANGO Lurex Chunky-Knit Cardigan

Dearest reader, we don't need anymore knit cardigans. But, we'd look so good in this.

Nike Sportswear Phoenix Cozy Knit Cardigan

Nike is really upping its game with cozy knit loungewear like this hooded cardigan! I'm a huge fan of boucle texture.

Pilcro Long-Sleeve Open-Stitch Duster Sweater

The thing about loungewear is that you can get away with wearing an open-stitch design at home because you'll be nice and cozy near your throw blanket.
