Cuddleduds and A New Day mostly. And furry socks. Furry socks are essential I change into them when I get home so kitty claws don't ruin my nice things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule/page/2#post-2075055 Tue, 05 Nov 2019 11:36:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2075055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hasn’t changed in a year. I have a couple black and white pattern cotton dresses and several sets of pjs, which I wear around the house, not to bed. I can’t sleep with clothes on (although I’m starting to wear socks at night when I’m cold). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule/page/2#post-2074861 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 16:49:12 +0000 kellygirl 2074861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, if I'm staying in, it's the men's Puma joggers from Costco and a hoodie. It's not my best look but it's comfortable. I'd walk Oreo in it--if it was just around the block. If leaving the house to go to the grocery store, it's leggings and a tunic or jeans and a t-shirt with a hoodie. I've linked what I actually wore this weekend to go out for groceries.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule/page/2#post-2074838 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 15:49:33 +0000 Carla 2074838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@nemosmom - back at you!

If it’s a no-workout morning, my go-to is a pair of RBX Capri length wide leg yoga pants and a Uniqlo 3/4 t-shirt. I have two of each. If it’s cold, or I’m switching into something late in the day or after a cold outdoor day, I’ll wear full length yoga pants (Calvin Klein) and a hoody. (See pic below)</p> <p>Everything has a high cotton content (92% or higher) so different from gym kit. I used to have a terry cloth robe that I liked a lot, but after ++years of service, it went into the rag bag, and I haven’t found a satisfactory replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074711 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 19:31:02 +0000 Adriana 2074711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to read. No loungewear for me. I am up and dressed. Can be jeans and a sweater/t shirt when I am busy or doing nothing inside my home. Or I am in a nightgown and in my bed( can be early). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074678 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 15:24:53 +0000 nemosmom 2074678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b> - I hear you on being picky!&nbsp; We keep our house on the cold side&nbsp; in the winter (62-64) Toppers need pockets, joggers need to be long enough to keep my ankles warm and not too tight in the bum, chunky pullovers need to be big and fluffy, but not so fluffy that I will ignite myself while cooking...&nbsp; I want tops that will cover my bum if I'm wearing leggings, but I don't want a tunic. HA!&nbsp; </p> <p>If only I were this picky with my day-to-day clothes LOL</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074655 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 14:34:03 +0000 Janet 2074655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to you, I went through my loungewear/pj drawer and noted that my sleep tees are looking rather bedraggled. Pants are in good shape. Sleep shorts got rotated to the back of the drawer for the season. I think it’s time to pull some of my lesser-loved graphic tees into sleepwear! Thanks for the nudge. </p> <p>Also realizing that I love hoodies but my current collection is somewhat lacking. Since menopause I like a zip front hoodie so I can open it if I’m suddenly feeling warm. Bulkier pullovers are good for cold mornings. I hate when hoodies are too short. And I prefer hoodies to have pockets. Who knew one could be so picky about such things?! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074641 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 14:04:45 +0000 Murph11 2074641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I resist the (strong) urge to buy loungewear, as I work from home and could easily wear nothing else! I drink my morning coffee in pajama pants + long or short sleeve tees and a soft open front cardigan, change into gear for a workout, then shower and dress for the day in jeans and a soft cozy top most often. And, I wear Ugg slippers all day long! (I currently own no sweatpants or hoodies.)</p> <p>If I worked in an office and dressed to meet clients, I would no doubt come home and change out of “workwear” into loungewear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074606 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 06:56:00 +0000 Cee 2074606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorts and a T-shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074602 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 04:49:07 +0000 Karie 2074602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My loungewear is all made by me sweatpants, hoodies, and sweatshirts. When I started sewing again a few years ago I figured making loungewear (and sleepwear too) was good practice before getting back into making clothes that I actually wear out of the house for long periods of time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074584 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 02:28:24 +0000 slim cat 2074584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My lounge wear was bought at GAP and Banana Republic and so far surviving good. My sleepwear is in trouble - old, soft, worn out and impossible to duplicate - nobody have that 100% cotton knit fabric with soft elastic that my sensitive skin loves . I haven't found anything on that level and in my budget. Some mixes of modal/cotton or cotton/ rayon make feel cold, some - itch. The search continue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074564 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 01:22:36 +0000 cindysmith 2074564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My lounge wear capsule is actually in pretty good shape (for a change). I got angry at my closet today and organized it and was pleasantly surprised at how complete the capsule is.. A lot of my lounge wear pulls double duty as sleepwear, but I do have a few pieces that are strictly for couch potatoing.</p> <p>I have several pairs of pajama pants with pockets, and these bottoms pull double duty with their "mates" (non-matching tops that go well like an outfit, if that makes sense). I will do dinner and housework and binge-watching or reading in these and them just climb into bed when its it's time. I also have some velvety joggers and leggings that I lounge around in, but I don't wear them to bed.</p> <p>I am maybe a little weird in that I think a nice pajama set is a good outfit to wear in public (pics for examples), and I have accidentally done well at building a lounge/sleep capsule that works LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074542 Sun, 03 Nov 2019 00:07:00 +0000 nemosmom 2074542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone! I have joggers that are lighter weight; maybe the trick to make them winter appropriate is a layer of heattech....?&nbsp; I'm off to sort it out! Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074504 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 21:32:04 +0000 The Cat 2074504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My lounge and my sleepwear capsules overlap. (I love items that can be worn in more than one way. I don't buy sleepwear that screams "sleepwear," as I actually want to be able to use it in public, too--at least in summer--and styled with other items.) My lounge capsule includes:<br /> ● 2 pairs of (very moderate) harem pants: 1 plum with white polkadots, 1 navy &amp; white "ceramic" patterned.<br /> ● 1 pair loose deep green velour pants.<br /> ● Several long t-shirts (and for summer, also a few long singlets), also used as nightwear. One is floral, others have hearts or polkadots prints and some have Breton stripes, are graphic or have splashes of various colours. I will also use regular solid tees and tank tops in various colours.<br /> ● If I need a topper, I will often use a long cardigan or a long open button-front shirt. And if I need some warmth against my neck, I will wear a big, soft scarf.<br /> ● I will also wear cotton or light wool socks, depending on the season. And Birkenstock style sandals.</p> <p>HOWEVER, none of my capsules are very strict, as I love to mix things up a bit and play around with my clothes, footwear and accessories. So instead of a long tee, I might wear a short velvet tee or a longsleeved crewneck pullover from my regular wardrobe. And I might wear ballet flats and add a bracelet or a short necklace. Often, I will also wear an item like jeans, loose pants, a skirt, dress or button-front shirt as loungewear--it just needs to be soft, comfortable and practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074485 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 20:04:06 +0000 Sal 2074485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sleepwear is different to my loungewear. </p> <p>I don’t have dedicated loungewear but I wear a mix of two hoodies, black jogger pants and leggings- and in summer loose cotton dresses. It might be worn all day in the weekend or just for an hour or two. It also might get worn to and from the gym or even for a walk with a friend.</p> <p>My gap is probably a soft merino or wool poncho or cardigan for winter, and next year I will need to update my Lululemon jogger pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074484 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 19:54:34 +0000 kerry 2074484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My loungewear is different from my sleepwear but probably doesn’t *look* different. I have 2 sets for each of 2 seasons (S/S and F/W). I wear Boden cotton pj pants with loose cotton tees for warmer weather and Boden flannel pj pants with Gap hoodies for colder weather. I also layer underneath with a Halogen cotton cami. I’ll sometimes throw on sweatpants (Roots) or leggings (Costco).</p> <p>My sleepwear is a Halogen cami and cotton pj pants (ON, J Crew).</p> <p>Olukai flip flops and Glerup slippers round out lounging capsule. I also do robes in the morning over sleepwear for an hour or two depending if it’s a work day or weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074481 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 19:41:09 +0000 LaPed 2074481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's taken me about five years to figure out a functional sleep and lounge system. My year-round sleepwear is:<br /> 3 pairs random printed boxer shorts<br /> 3 long-sleeve cotton tees (thrifted Boden bretons) for cold weather<br /> 3 short-sleeve cotton tees (old sentimental graphics) for warm weather; as these tees die off, I'm replacing them with cute cotton camisoles.</p> <p>Lounge is:<br /> Two zip-front hoodies<br /> One pullover hoodie<br /> Two pairs sweatpants (cold weather)<br /> Two pairs gauzy cotton cropped wide-leg pants (warm weather; new this year!)</p> <p>I'm on the lookout for one non-hooded pullover sweatshirt to round out my lounge topper selection. Mornings and evenings, it is chilly enough for a cotton hoodie pretty much year round. Thing is, the zip-front ones work better with crewnecks underneath; they're a little uncomfortable with a v-neck or a cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074476 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 19:18:42 +0000 Anonymous 2074476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loves me some lounge clothes!!!!!!! &nbsp;</p> <p>Lounging Bottoms </p> <ul> <li>Gap Dreamwell Stripe Wide Leg Sleep Pant Pink</li> <li>Gap Dreamwell Stripe Wide Leg Sleep Pant Blue</li> <li>Gap Dreamwell Stripe Wide Leg Sleep Pant Pink</li> <li>Uniqlo Long Sleeve Cotton Stripped Pajama Set</li> <li>Gap Dreamer Print DrawString Pants in Poplin Blue&nbsp;</li> <li>Eddie Bauer Flannel Sleep Pants</li> <li>Tommy Hilfinger grey pajama bottom</li> <li>Tommy Hilfinger grey pajama bottom</li> <li>Ralph Lauren Flannel Pajama Set</li> <li>Madewell Rivet &amp; Thread Sweatpants / HTHR SMOKE</li> <li>Madewell Rivet &amp; Thread Sweatpants /HTHR SMOKE</li> </ul> Lounging Tops </p> </p> <ul> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft Navy-ish Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft White Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft White Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft Navy-ish Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft Navy-ish Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft Pink Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft Pink Camisole</li> <li>Jockey Elance® Supersoft Blue Camisole</li> <li>GAP Cotton Cashmere Shawl Cardigan</li> </ul> <p> Robes </p> </p> <ul> <li>Victoria Secret terry cloth robe</li> <li>Intimo Men’s Silk Robe</li> </ul> <p> <br /> <br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074472 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 18:26:46 +0000 cjh 2074472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pjs and loungewear are not quite the same here. For summer pjs, I wear cotton tanks, and cotton print boxers I’ve made myself. There is no such thing as summer loungewear. If I shower at the end of the day before I want to wear pjs, I just put on a fresh shorts and top outfit.</p> <div><br /></div><div>In cold weather, pjs are long knit pants from TJMaxx, or me-made flannels, with short sleeve tees, either cotton blend yoga type or ladies soft graphics from Kohl’s. I have a fleece draped cardigan and a fleece zip jacket for “robes.” I wear socks to bed in the winter.&nbsp; </p> <p>Cold weather lounge wear used to be long sleeve cotton unisex race tee shirts with black yoga pants or fleecy warm up pants, with a gray fleece race sweatshirt (the standard shirt at one of my annual races - I have several.) I used to change out of office work clothes to this combo every cold day before I retired, and then to pjs at bedtime. But now I don’t dress up, and when ready to change out of daytime clothes, I just go straight to pjs.&nbsp;</p> </div><div><br /></div><div>I usually make at least one pair of sleep shorts and/or flannel pants every year, and buy some sort of color-matching top when I do. Then the most worn or threadbare pair is reluctantly donated or pitched. My oldest boxer shorts are about 10 years old. Flannels don’t seem to last as long because they lose their flannelishness.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074461 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 17:16:13 +0000 Gretchen 2074461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My lounge wear is totally separate from sleep wear, and usually purchased specifically for this purpose. Current faves: zella joggers, wildfox sweatshirt, loft long sleeve tees. I’ll also throw in a long tunic sweater if I find one on super sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074450 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 16:51:18 +0000 Helena 2074450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My loungewear sits virtually unworn all year, but I LOVE it for the horrid weather of January through March. I have a couple of pairs of comfy leggings, a few cotton t-shirts, two pairs of Roots sweatpants, a few Roots hoodies, and an uber-soft crewneck sweatshirt - think that's about it.</p> <p>Honestly, aside from the Roots sweats, which I love, I've always had the most luck for loungewear at Old Navy. My black leggings are almost as old as my 13 year old son and still in good condition, my uber-soft crewneck is from there also, and I've had other bits from there over the years. The quality/cost/comfort ratio is just right for me.</p> <p>Have fun creating this capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074431 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 16:25:21 +0000 Angie 2074431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My newest addition is this: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-loungewear-capsule#post-2074405 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 15:06:41 +0000 rachylou 2074405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is me, but less extreme in the flares... ‘Cuz I got them at Target, and also I’d trip and kill myself on the ones I had that were that long, hehe... </p>
