Spanx is known for its girdling shape wear. What you may not know is that Spanx also makes wonderful clothing, which has become a large component of the brand’s offerings. Contrary to what I expected, most of their clothing is NOT girdling and quite the opposite. Spanx makes excellent soft and cosy knitted activewear, Athleisure looks, and loungewear.
Many of my clients swear by Spanx knitted cosy sweats. Wear the items as separates or as sets. Remix items with woven casual items too.
Fabrics are a blend of natural and synthetic fibres. The natural fibres are a high percentage of tencel and modal, and the rest is polyester. Items have a slight tech fabric integrity, but with the breathability of cotton.
I refreshed my at-home loungewear capsule this year, which I wear in the evening when relaxing at home, and first thing in the morning instead of a robe. Loungewear is a wardrobe workhorse for my style so I make a point of wearing what I call “cute comfies”, and spend some money on them. My loungewear has to be great quality, relaxed, roomy, and extremely comfortable. These Spanx sets fit the bill. They are drapey yet polished, lightweight, packable because they aren’t bulky, cosy, warm, crease-resistant, and feel heavenly against the skin. They launder well, and dry fast too.
At first, I wasn’t going to bite because I prefer 100% cotton for loungewear. But after trying on the navy sweats set and seeing how small the set folds up in my drawer, I’m a convert. The tencel component is strong, and I like that. I’ll be adding the orange and red mismatched set too.
