And my hubby likes to wear basic short sleeve tee with sweatpants material knee length shorts. We keep our apartment pretty warm and have floor heating so we are usually barefoot. And during the hottest summer days I switch to shorts and tanks because no air conditioning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907865 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 18:10:48 +0000 Ledonna N. 1907865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear soft cotton jump suits or caftans I love them both.&nbsp; I cannot wear a jumpsuit out because they are the devil trying to go to the bathroom but at home I love them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907775 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:35:28 +0000 Carla 1907775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gradfashionista, Stylefan, Torontogirl - will check out Roots!

The other day I was in PJ's and robe (9 am) when a lawn care guy rang the door! Ugh! </p> <p>Lisap - It's the Habs (hockey) or Seahawks (football) in our house - but sometimes it's a bit much...(especially the floresent green) </p> <p>Suz - if the weather was warmer, this would not be a problem, but since we are on our third season of winter.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907751 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 14:57:29 +0000 Helena 1907751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, I love everything from Roots - washes well, warm, cozy, and comfy.

LE or Eddie Bauer, I'm not sure...a soft cotton tee with a sweater over top. In summer he doesn't really wear loungewear, and come to think of it, neither do I -- loungewear is really "cozy" wear at our place, for situations like the one you describe, when you're housebound for a while and just want to hibernate in comfort.&nbsp;</p> <p>I need to replenish this capsule because lately, I've been wearing PJ pants more than I'd like. But here are a few items I do use and enjoy in various combinations with other things. I own a robe, too, but really only wear it right after a shower. I find the sleeves annoying and it is bulky. So if I'm doing stuff around the house, I prefer a cardigan style or pullover style layer for warmth.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907701 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 13:03:18 +0000 Anonymous 1907701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm laughing . DH's loungewear is a pair of plaid flannel NHL Jets pyjama pants and a Jets jersey - (on game nights), or the pants and a robe on other nights. It gets pretty grim around here during the winter. Mine is not a whole lot better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907680 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:57:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 1907680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My loungewear is Lululemon "still" pants, which have a wide leg and pockets, and imho don't look like yoga pants.&nbsp; They don't seem to have this style at the moment.&nbsp; I also really like their "studio" pants, which also have a wide (but not so wide) leg and look like gear, but presentable gear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907679 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:55:52 +0000 Molly Mac 1907679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uniqlo has great lounge pants (both wide legged and jogger styles) that I wear with a tank or cute tshirt and a long flowy cardigan if it is chilly out (which seems to be most of the time this Spring). This outfit is super comfy and I can throw on sneakers with it if I need to go out. When I was a child my mother had a great selection of colorful caftans that she wore as loungewear. She looked exotic and fabulous in our small southern town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907668 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:31:23 +0000 Anonymous 1907668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My downtime loungewear are knit pull on pants, turtleneck and a comfy sweater I made that is so pilled and beat up I can no longer wear in public ( but is one of those things I can’t part with because of time effort and love that went in to making it.)<br /> In summer it is a dress.<br /> I rarely wear downtime loungewear except for situations like the one RunCarla presented- a bridge outfit.<br /> I have learned even when home cleaning or lounging to try and look somewhat presentable because when you look bad.... that’s the day your brother in law drops by, the UPS guy drops off a package, the local politician campaigns and the neighbor stops by with her kids doing a school fund raiser.<br /> Isn’t that always the way!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907660 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:00:09 +0000 cindysmith 1907660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a wide leg knot pant for lounging, like the ones in the find. They're comfortable like pajamas yet I can still wear them to the grocery if I want </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907648 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 10:26:17 +0000 LaPed 1907648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH's "loungewear" consists entirely of a pair of grey flannel pants I gave him a couple years ago, plus graphic tees that he used to wear to work but which are now to casual for his current office. Sometimes he wears his robe, or puts an Icebreaker merino hoodie on top (he seems to have a sartorial allergy to plain old cotton hoodies, and will only wear technical ones...). He actually has been on my case to get him the grey flannel shirt to match his pants, which I think is very cute of him to want, so maybe for Fathers Day.&nbsp;</p> <p>My loungewear selection has gotten more extensive, thanks to being home with a young child a lot of the time. My core is a set of Patagonia sweatpants and hoodies from a few years back, and last year I added a sweatpant/hoodie set from Everlane. The Patagonia stuff is dark grey and olive, the Everlane stuff is blush and black, so it all mixes and matches nicely. I wear my band t-shirts and old graphic t-shirts underneath, since they've stopped feeling relevant to my style otherwise. I'm thinking of trying out a pair of American Giant sweatpants this year. My family teases me about my "designer" sweats but I've always been very picky about sweatpants and find poorly made ones to be so uncomfortable I won't wear them. If the waist, leg bindings, etc are wrong, you won't want to wear them. I spend so much time in my "house clothes" (a couple hours each morning, an hour at night, and more on the weekend) that they earn their keep quite quickly. All of the pieces I mention above are close to 30 wears this year alone. </p> <p>I also just picked up two pairs of these Uniqlo boyfriend jeans. They are a unicorn for me, because they are jeans that are loose all over without falling down, and I did not need to alter them. Basically, they are as comfortable as sweatpants, but (for me, where I live) look a little more presentable. I'll go out and walk the dog do groceries, etc in these, which I don't like to do in sweatpants. I know you complained about lyocell in denim in an earlier post; I'd always been a skeptic too, but in this case it makes the jeans very soft and allows them to relax into just the right shape (for my body at least).&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907639 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 09:51:34 +0000 Aurore 1907639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally use flared jersey pants and basic tees and hoodies&nbsp;as loungewear. The pants are actually jazz dance trousers (from Dimensione Danza), they are really comfortable and look good.&nbsp;Most of my&nbsp;loungewear tops come from Uniqlo and often double as&nbsp;standard casual tops ("airism" bratops are my favourite, as they are comfortable,&nbsp;practical, and&nbsp;even look good enough&nbsp;for work&nbsp;under a blazer!)&nbsp;</p> <p>DH hates loungewear and hardly ever wears anything more casual than jeans (or chino shorts in summer), even during weekends spent at home. He has a pair of cotton track pants though, but only wears them when he feels tired or ill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907628 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 09:22:03 +0000 Michell 1907628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to wear&nbsp;lounge-wear i feel like I'm comfortable.

I find them in loungewear &amp; sleepwear departments. For lounging I don't use them with the matching jacket or shirt, but instead wear a cardigan, often a long one. As tops I wear anything from tanks and tees to crewnecks and turtlenecks. A pendant necklace or comfortable scarf, cotton or light wool socks, Birkenstock style sandals or ballet flats, and perhaps a bracelet complete the outfit for me.</p> <p>Other suggestions (for both sexes): corduroy pants, nice sweatpants (long and straight, not tapered), perhaps with a matching tee, flannel shirts (can also be worn as jackets). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907620 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 08:01:44 +0000 Sal 1907620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either loose pants and a tee or hoodie - or leggings with a tunic in winter. In summer I have a couple of dresses that work. </p> <p>I don't like anything too delicate - as I sometimes end up cleaning the stove top or bathroom inadvertently. I have a grey long sweater/ short tunic that is my go to often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907598 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 04:54:00 +0000 gradfashionista 1907598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is pretty casual, but I really love Roots for lounge clothing. Super soft and comfortable fabrics that wash well. They have a number of different cuts for both jogging pants and hoodies, and the ones I bought are slim fit and cropped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-some-help-with-loungewear-ideas#post-1907595 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 04:26:19 +0000 Carla 1907595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today after a long walk (it is becoming a daily thing) I would have liked to have had something comfy but nice to change into. DH and I both had wet pant hems. I changed into another pair of jeans, and DH changed into a pair of pants he usually wears to the gym. I would have liked him in something different. It was late afternoon, so just dinner and a couple rounds of 'Settler's of Catan' was planned. We may be home bound this weekend, since a 'weather event' is forecast (ice storm) and cozy is called for. I think we both need a couple of loungewear outfits that aren't gym clothes. </p> <p>What do you and your SO use for loungewear? What would make up a nice loungewear capsule for either of us? I don't want to resort to yoga pants or other gym wear and would like something less structured than jeans but not as informal as pj's. The shop I want to check out for ethnic wear (loose harem trousers) is seasonal and won't open for another few weeks, (and I don't think DH will go that route!) </p>
