With the concept of wearing jeans completely thrown out the window during the pandemic, many of us have gotten used to spending our days in our comfiest hoodies and sweatpants. Loungewear has developed into a full-blown fashion category, from sweatsuits to cozy cashmere pieces and pajamas so cute you'll happily take them for a spin outside the house. Our edit of the best loungewear brands for women will introduce you to labels like Softwear, which makes ultra-soft loungewear in New York, and RAEY, a collection of effortless pieces for the modern woman.
