The 15 Best Women's Loungewear Sets to Wear Everywhere

I can't say that the pandemic added anything to my life, but it did lead to a greatly augmented loungewear section of my closet and an enhanced appreciation for matching sets of cozy clothes. While my old house clothes consisted mostly of hand-me-down sweatpants and those free t-shirts I got at college events, I now understand the importance of feeling both comfortable and put-together while sitting on my couch, and I can't ever see myself going back. Now, armed with my matching loungewear sets from my favorite loungewear brands, I don't have to explain my disheveled outfit to the takeout delivery driver or change before I run to the corner store for snacks—there's simply no need! I already look stylish! No one needs to know that I haven't changed in 24 hours!

So, without further ado, behold the best loungewear sets from across the internet, so that you can look and feel your best all the time.

Alo Yoga Accolade Set

Never did I ever think a sweatshirt and sweatpants could look cool, but lo and behold, Alo accomplished the feat. With an oversized, relaxed (not frumpy) fit, a smooth exterior, and cool chrome logos, this set is the most elevated take on a classic sweatsuit I've come across. I find its mid-weight fleece hits the sweet spot in terms of coziness—it's not too warm and not too breezy, so it's just right for year-round wear.

Aritzia Cozy Fleece Boyfriend Set

Whenever I'm trying to look more put together but can't bear to part with my sweatpants, this is the lounge set I put on. Aritzia's Boyfriend sweatpants fit closer to the body, while the zip hoodie hits right at my waist, providing a shape I don't often get in sweats. It's the one I always reach for when I'm jet-setting off somewhere because not only is it extra warm, but it's easy enough to elevate with chunky hoop earrings and trendy sneakers.

Spanx AirEssentials Set

Imagine the smoothness of silk combined with the softness of fleece—that's what you get with Spanx AirEssentials line. The brand uses a luxe, light-as-air fabric that feels silky smooth against the skin. I've honestly never felt anything like it, which is why I'll mix and match my set and wear it at least once a week. Each piece fits true to size, and while my olive green shade is sold out, other offered colors include mocha, navy, grey, white, and more.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Set

"At the top of my 2024 resolutions was indulging in more little luxuries," says Fashion Features Editor Emma Childs. "And just a few weeks into the new year, I'm meeting this goal in strides. I'm treating myself to luxury candles! I'm starting my mornings with decadent lattes! And, my favorite of all, I'm lounging around in this to-die-for cashmere set from Quince. The pants are straight and free-flowing (I'm staunchly anti-joggers: my ankles deserve to be unencumbered!), which adds to their effortless feel. And the zip-up hoodie feels luxe enough that I can wear it out of the house guilt-free."

Abercrombie Lounge Brushed Rib Set

Abercrombie may conjure visions of logo-heavy early aughts fashion, but they’ve since expanded their repertoire tenfold with designs that are perfect for both lounging at home and venturing out. This set is a perfect example. Made from a soft blend of polyester, elastane, and viscose, these garments drape along the wearer’s body for an ultra-comfortable fit. In fact, for some reviewers, it's comfortable enough to score a set in an additional color. One Abercrombie shopper writes, "This is the second color I bought of this set and I love it!! So comfy and cute."

Monrow Soft Knit Set

"I have an embarrassingly large quantity of loungewear—it's taking over my entire apartment," says Senior Beauty Editor Samantha Holender. "But even with so many options to choose from, I always gravitate towards this Monrow set. It's quite literally the most comfortable thing I own, makes me look together enough to go run errands around the city, and consistently gets me compliments."

Eberjey Gisele Stretch-Modal Pajama Set

"While I firmly believe that coordinating loungewear makes the quality of one’s lounging decidedly better, I was also someone who secretly switched into a baggy t-shirt come bedtime," says Associate Director of Social Media Lucia Tonelli. "Once I got a pair of Eberjeys, that all changed. The brand is the gold standard of cozy-chic clothing, but, IMO, their Gisele set reigns supreme. It’s soft as butter, breezy as can be, shockingly stretchy (like, pull-your-entire-body-into-the-top stretchy), and keeps its quality through years of (near constant) wear. My goal is to one day own a pair in every color."

Skims

There's no denying Skims makes some of the best loungewear in the game. The brand is known for its innovative fabrics and its Soft Lounge line is easily what gave the brand its viral status. It features the softest feel out of the brand's lineup and has plenty of stretch and breathability for added comfort. It's safe to say that fans are obsessed with this set, so much so that one reviewer wrote, "LOVE these. After one wear, I found myself fantasizing all day, about getting home and into this cozy set!"

Leset Margo Set

There's a way to feel like an A-lister without having to splurge on spa treatments and a designer handbag collection—just throw on Leset's Margo set. Plenty of celebs from Hailey Beiber, Jennifer Lawrence, and Selena Gomez wear these pieces on repeat and it's not too hard to see why. They're made from a crisp, lightweight cotton and feature an everyday boxy fit. Wear the combination for a chic at-home look, or mix and match these pieces with jeans, bodysuits, and more when you’re ready to head out the door.

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Ultra Lite Lounge Set

Some days, you don't want to get out of bed, but responsibilities force you to. On those days, this Barefoot Dreams set is your best bet for staying cozy while still looking put together. Made from the brand's viral CozyChic it features the same look as a sweatshirt and joggers, but with the feel of a fuzzy blanket. According to one Nordstrom reviewer, the feel of this set is enough to buy multiple pieces. "I discovered Barefoot Dreams about a year ago and now I own nine pieces of it," they wrote. "Once you experience the softness you will become a collector, also."

Gap Vintage Soft Set

Don't sleep on Gap for quality basics. The brand has gone through a major revival in recent years, and they are a personal favorite of mine for stylish wardrobe staples that won't break the bank. This sweat set is a prime example of the kind of top-notch affordable finds the retailer offers. Meant to have that worn-in vintage feel, these sweats offer a lightweight, cloud-like comfort. Even better, they come in plenty of colors and tall and petite sizes for the perfect fit. Reviews are nearly raving, too. For instance, one happy shopper wrote, "Really love this sweater—super comfy, soft, and versatile. I'll be living in this all fall/winter!"

Lululemon Scuba Set

There isn't an editor I know who's not obsessed with Lululemon's loungewear. The brand understands that simple updates make a world of difference in elevated pieces. Their most popular set, the Scuba set, has a thick, ultra-smooth feel that's breathable and soft against the skin. Features like thumbholes, embroidered logos, and seams take these pieces from basic to luxe—and shoppers would seem to agree as one Lululemon reviewer wrote, "Best sweatshirt in my collection. The material is cozy and soft and so well made. It’s luxurious."

What To Look For in a Loungewear Set

Holly Shapiro, Creative Director of apparel brand Splendid, says, "Shape is critical for looking put together and cozy. Bad-fitting lounge is the worst!" So, when shopping for your next set, ask yourself about your ideal fit: Do you want the set to be baggy, or do you prefer a form-fitting option? Will you be wearing it out, or opting to stay in?

"Secondly," she adds, "choosing the right fabrics for softness and recovery is so important." Always check the fabric makeup before you buy so you know whether the item will be stretchy, soft, fleecy, or whether it'll shrink in the wash.

Styling Your Loungewear

Looking to flaunt your loungewear when you're out and about, but not sure how to dress it up? Wearing a matching set is always a great, comfy-cute look, but for a quick upgrade, Shapiro recommends, "Throw a chambray shirt, denim jacket, or blazer over any lounge for an instant on-the-go look!"

Daniel Patrick, stylist and founder of his eponymous clothing brand also recommends "layering and mixing and matching colors and textures." To dress up a loungewear look, he also recommends using elevated footwear (like heels or a pair of designer sneakers) and outerwear (like a stylish winter coat) to "make a fit less loungy and dresses it up more."
