    25 Cute Dresses That Totally Double As Loungewear

    If you're expected to multitask on the daily, then your dresses would be too.

    1. A patterned maxi dress with front button closures that transitions from elegant garden parties to lounge sessions in the garden with a good book.

    2. A short-sleeve breathable dress for anyone who repels form-fitting clothes but who isn't trying to have a closet full of shapeless potatoes sacks, either. Would a sack have such a cute back cutout? I don't think so.

    3. A chic tie-front dress with a drawstring waistband so you can cinch it tight to leave the house, and then promptly loosen it the moment you return home.

    4. A slinky tank dress with adjustable straps and POCKETS if you're happiest in clothing you could just as easily wear to sleep as you could out to dinner.

    5. An open-back number because comfy and sexy can coexist in one ruffle-hemmed maxi dress.

    6. A bold wrap maxi with a showstopping front slit to completely reimagine what you thought loungewear could be.

    7. A striped fit and flare dress that's like the mullet of dresses. Professional pointed collar on top, party-ready, flowy handkerchief hem on the bottom.

    8. A staple T-shirt dress in tons of colors and prints for capturing all the comfort and versatility of your favorite T-shirt without the effort of finding bottoms to match.

    9. Or a T-shirt dress with ~pockets~ and an attached waist-cinching belt if you prefer a more form-fitting (but still wildly comfortable) ensemble.

    10. A ruffled A-line puff-sleeve dress so you can live out all your cottagecore fantasies whether you're on the couch watching Kiki's Delivery Service for the hundredth time or frolicking in the field you found IRL.

    11. A long sleeve knit maxi dress because why shouldn't the soft, cuddly joy of a rib-knit sweater extend down to your ankles?

    12. A button-down skater dress to wear anytime, anywhere with pockets that can transport snacks from kitchen to living room or house your hands when you do decide to go out in public, inevitably feel awkward, and realize you don't know what to do with your hands.

    13. An empire-waist suplice dress that'll make you wonder why you ever put up with clothes that aren't this cute and comfortable.

    14. A free-flowing tiered midi dress for anyone who's unafraid of a look with a little voluminous *drama*.

    15. A sleeveless knit midi dress so soft and stretchy you'll forget that this is the first time in months you've worn something besides sweatpants and it feels...it feels surprisingly good.

    16. A linen and cotton-blend embroidered tunic if you like the versatility of a free-flowing style that looks just as good with pants or leggings as it does without.

    17. A button-front breathable linen dress expertly tailored to your exact measurements because made-to-measure doesn't have to mean only made for going out. You should be feelin' your fancy self at home, too!

    18. A sleeveless tent dress with plenty of lightweight, floral-printed cotton to drastically up your twirl game. So much fabric, so much cinematic drama.

    19. A casual short sleeve dress in a range of solid colors and flirty prints that combines everything a comfortable dress needs —soft, stretchy fabric, a neckline and sleeves you can wear almost any bra with, and pockets so you can share the news with everyone who compliments your dress.

    20. An eye-catching cutout maxi dress for when you want all eyes on you, even if the only eyes around are your cat's.

    21. A flowy off-the-shoulder dress so versatile you'll be wearing it to weddings and solo wine nights in alike. The ruffled layer across the bust keeps everything PG-13 friendly, even if you decide to go braless.

    22. A breezy spaghetti strap dress if your style sits somewhere between "elastic waistbands only" and "beachy bohemian princess."

    23. A versatile tank dress because this simple silhouette layers like a dream, accommodating a wide range of fluctuating temperatures and occasions. Throw your favorite oversized sweater on top and you've magically made yourself a maxi skirt!

    24. A long-sleeve shift dress made from handwoven banana waste fibers and plant-based dyes for a lounge-friendly, going out-friendly, earth-friendly ~lewk~.

    25. A ruched strapless maxi dress to bring a little laidback, tropical flair to your wardrobe, even if the nearest beach is miles away.
