Hate Wearing Hard Pants? Here Are the 10 Best Places to Buy Comfy Loungewear Sets Online

Once upon a time, loungewear was an afterthought. It was the kind of clothing you could treat yourself to after a long day in hard clothes, or wear to bum around the house for a weekend before heading back into the office on Monday morning.

But lately, times have changed. As more jobs have gone fully remote, loungewear has become an everyday staple for folks who work from home. From stretchy leggings to oversized sweatshirts, the best loungewear offers a great blend of style and comfort, and in inclusive sizing designed to flatter all bodies.

Below are 10 of the best places to get more bang for your buck if you’re searching for chic casual wear that will stand the test of time—and more importantly, still help you look good during Zoom meetings.

1. Nap

If you’re a fan of midday power naps (especially now that you’re working from home), Nap loungewear could be right up your alley. This brand specializes in sophisticated apparel that you’ll want to snuggle up against whether you’re on or off the clock. You can grab elegant turtleneck sweatshirts, track sets, and other memorable pieces in up to XXXL to create your ideal ensemble, including options for men in sizes up to XXL. You only have up to 15 days to return most items by mail, so if you’re having second thoughts about your order, be sure to keep that short window in mind before you yank off any price tags.

Whether you’re in the mood for monochrome pullovers or body-con basics, Skims has a little something for every type of lounger. You can return most orders within 30 days to get a refund, although they are subject to a $6 return shipping fee.

4. Girlfriend Collective

As one of the hottest athleisure brands right now, Girlfriend Collective specializes in trendy apparel that’s also extremely functional, like workout dresses and these sporty skorts that have compressive shorts built into them.

This brand also offers gender-inclusive items that can fit all bodies, like these leggings and this puffer vest, both of which are available in sizes up to size 12 in select shades. All items are also ethically made from recycled materials and most can be returned within a 30-day window. Shoppers in the U.S. can send back or exchange items via mail or at select drop-off points, but there’s a $7 restocking fee applied to all mail returns, so keep that in mind as you shop.

Additionally, you can grab men's loungewear like pullover sweatshirts, joggers, and more in sizes up to XXXL.
