Must Have Loungewear Essentials: A Beginner's Guide

It's no secret that loungewear has made the biggest comeback since the start of this pandemic. Sweatpants, oversized tees and hoodies went from being the classic "throw-on" item to must-have wardrobe essentials. But don't worry, we're not new to this, we're true to this.

In this guide, we're giving you 5 must-have loungewear items that are essential to becoming the ultimate loungewear queen!

Let's get itttt.

1. THE PERFECT PAIR OF JOGGERS

Anyone will tell you that in order to truly start your loungewear collection, you'll need a pair of joggers that are your go-to's. These joggers typically fit a bit relaxed (not too tight, not too baggy), so that you have flexibility with styling them. Joggers come in a variety of styles - scrunched or classic ankle, with or without a drawstring - so choose a pair that matches more with your style. Remember, joggers are a must for any loungewear look.

2. COMFORTABLE BIKER SHORTS

One thing about biker shorts, no matter the occasion they always simplify the look. Because biker shorts have been around for so long, it's important that you find a pair that's comfy, stretchy with A1 quality (we promise you'll want biker shorts that can hold up being washed and dried a few times because you'll want to wear them alllll the time ;)). Classic biker shorts colors include black, gray and any neutral color you can think of. It makes them super easy to style, whether that's dressed up or down.

3. A CLASSIC JEAN JACKET

It doesn't matter your age, owning a jean jacket is so needed for your loungewear look. The styling opportunities are endless! We love how jean jackets can be layered on top of hoodies and crewnecks and also make the perfect throw-on item when wearing tanks or t-shirts. Opt for jean jackets that aren't too fitted and have a bit of personality to it (this can mean being acid washed, distressed, added patches or buttons). Jean jackets also bring more of a relaxed, cozy feel to loungewear looks that we love.

4. A QUALITY T-SHIRT OR BODYSUIT

Okay ladies, now let's ditch the wrinkly t-shirts we own. They aren't doing anything for our loungewear look...Choose t-shirts that are a bit heavier (better quality) that can be worn multiple times, with multiple items. The same goes for bodysuits. Both of these items are so simple but gives any loungewear look a super crisp and relaxed vibe. A style tip: choose bodysuits or t-shirts that match the color of your joggers or biker shorts for a more seamless loungewear look.

 

5. YOUR FAVORITE DAD HAT

Finally, if you don't own a dad hat, what are you doing?!?!?! Even if it's to hide your messy bed hair, it's still a must-have loungewear essential. Oh, and let's not forget that they can literally be worn during any season! We love the duality of dad hats, they can literally be worn dressed up or down and we love that for us. The best part of adding a dad hat to your collection is that it doesn't matter how it's created (if it's plain, has writing, distressed). Once you find the perfect one that can match with basically anything, you'll be set.
