Loungewear FAQs: Comfort, Style and Longevity
What counts as loungewear and when should you wear it?
Loungewear includes comfy clothes like joggers, sweatshirts, and soft knits, meant for relaxing at home without looking like you’ve just rolled out of bed. It’s perfect for lazy Sundays, working from home or popping to the corner shop. The best loungewear balances comfort with presentability, made from sturdy fabrics that won’t lose their shape after a few washes. Unlike pyjamas, it's meant to be seen - ideally without raising eyebrows.
Can loungewear be worn outside the house?
Yes, loungewear can absolutely be worn outside the house, as long as it’s well-made and thoughtfully styled. Stick to quality materials like organic cotton or Merino wool and you’ll look more put-together than part-time slob. Add a tailored coat or neat trainers and you’re officially dressed. The trick is choosing hard-wearing clothes that feel like pyjamas but pass the café test.
What’s the difference between loungewear and pyjamas?
The difference between loungewear and pyjamas comes down to purpose and polish. Pyjamas are for sleeping - lighter fabrics, looser fits. Loungewear is for everyday relaxing, so it’s typically sturdier, more flattering, and fit for being seen. Think of pyjamas as “for bed” and loungewear as “for the sofa and beyond." You can nod off in loungewear, but it’s built for wear that lasts all day.
What is the best long-lasting loungewear for everyday wear?
The best long-lasting loungewear for everyday wear is made from tough natural fibres like organic cotton or wool, sewn with strong seams and minimal synthetics. These materials wash well, breathe easily, and stay comfy without stretching out. Look for brands with lifetime guarantees or repair schemes - always a good sign. Our women’s loungewear includes pieces designed to last. Read more about how we choose long-lived products on our research process page.
How should I wash organic cotton loungewear to keep it soft and strong?
To keep organic cotton loungewear soft and strong, wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Steer clear of fabric softeners - they can clog the fibres. Air-drying is best, but if you must tumble dry, go low and slow. A bit of extra care goes a long way in keeping things cosy. See our Product Care & Repair hub for more tips.
How can I style loungewear to look smart and put-together?
To style loungewear smartly, go for clean silhouettes and understated colours. Pair quality joggers with a sharp tee or fine-knit jumper, then layer with a tailored blazer or long coat. Shoes matter too - smart trainers or loafers can pull the look together. Stick with durable pieces that hold their shape, and leave anything threadbare firmly at home.
Is there a men’s and women’s loungewear difference I should know about?
The main men’s and women’s loungewear difference lies in the fit - women’s styles tend to be more tapered, men’s more straight-cut. But in truth, quality loungewear is about comfort and durability, not labels. Many of the best pieces are unisex. If it fits well and feels right, wear what you like.
