Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A two-piece lounge set worth investing your hard earned dollars on — once the weekend rolls around you're going to want to live in the utmost comfort. This set will certainly check that box.
Promising review: "This is a cute and comfortable two-piece set. The fit was as expected, and these pieces could easily be worn for travel or just lounging around the house. They washed up nicely, but I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dryer due to possible shrinkage." —H. Brien
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 20 colors).
2. Iconic Lululemon Align yoga leggings made from fabric that is so ridiculously soft you likely won't want to wear regular pants ever again. These babies can be worn to work out in, sure, but there's absolutely no reason why you can't lounge around in them as well.
I wore these throughout my pregnancy — they were stretchy enough to fit through all nine months comfortably! BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde also finds these leggings to be comfy enough to consider them her go-to travel pants:
"If someone told me 'you could only wear one pair of pants on planes for the rest of your life,' I'd pick these leggings in a heartbeat. I have five pairs of them, and for every single flight I've been on for the past six years, I've worn these with a sweatshirt or oversized sweater, most recently on a eight-hour overnight flight to Naples, Italy. They feel like you're wearing nothing (in the best way possible) while also offering great compression that doesn't show any lumps or bumps. The high waistband also offers great comfort and very rarely ever rolls down, which means no awkward adjusting while you're packed into an economy seat. There's a reason people rave about them despite their high price point — they're just that good. Trust me — I've literally put the miles in."
Get it from Lululemon for $98+ (available in sizes 0–20, 3 lengths, and 18 colors).
3. Sweater pants, because why should your arms and torso have all the fun??? Let your legs join in on the coziness by enveloping them in these bad boys.
Promising review: "SO COMFY. These pants are literally so amazing and such an awesome material...It’s a nice comfy brunch outfit or lounge outfit...they’re my favorite pair to wear right now." –Kyrene Galanis
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).
4. A drawstring jumpsuit, perfect for anyone who wants to lounge *most* of the day but also has a handful of errands to run. When the cute cashier at CVS starts checking *you* out while you're checking out, you can thank me.
Promising review: "Originally, I wanted a comfy outfit for air travel and bought this before my last trip to Mexico. As soon as I put it on, I fell in love with it. I now live in it. It's comfortable and fits perfectly. I will be purchasing more!" —Meg Fanslow
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors and styles).
5. An oversized crewneck sweater you can comfortably wear with leggings on lazy mornings where you still want to feel just a little dressed in case you get the urge to get wild, throw on jeans, and head out for lunch later on in the day.
Promising review: "This is a great loose fitting sweater. So comfortable. Great to lounge around the house in sweats or throw on some leggings or jeans and run errands. I wear it a lot." —Michelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 32 styles).
6. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set reviewers have praised as being delightfully similar to Skims. (Apologies, Kim K!) A must-have if you want to test run the style before potentially treating yourself to the real thing — or just another set of these in another color!
Promising review: "This is by far the best money spent on clothing! I love this outfit, it's so comfortable! I will say the tag was a bit itchy on the top piece so I had to cut it off, but otherwise 20/10. This outfit is what I treat myself to on my self-care days and relaxing moments. Personally, I don't think I'd wear it out and about, but around the house it is just so perfect! And what I look like in my own house doesn't matter, but my comfort definitely does!" —Wendy
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $52.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 29 styles).
Psst: This is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
7. A padded tank so you can go about your cozy day bra-free — which sounds like an absolute dream, TBH. It'll provide you with enough support and layer beautifully under your go-to oversized cardi.
Check out this activewear essential on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I’m so glad I committed! It’s extremely comfortable. The padding is amazing so you don’t have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" —Kristyn Long
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
8. A Lizzie McGuire–inspired oversized tee that *really* might just be what dreams are made of! Its retro vibes are just what you need in your loungewear lineup.
Official PJ Company is a small business based in California that sells fun apparel, mugs, keychains, and more.
Promising review: "I love how the shirt looks and it brings back so much nostalgia! Jordan was incredibly helpful with my questions and I will definitely purchase from her again. 100% recommend." —Grace
Get it from Official PJ Company on Etsy for $28.50+ (available in sizes S–6XL and five colors).
9. Lounge pants you'll wonder why you've decided to live so long without — they're buttery soft and will be the perfect companion to your next snuggle sesh.
Promising review: "These pants are amazingggg. I was hesitant after trying a few similar styles that were super sheer but lemme tell you, you won’t regret this purchase! Super soft, wash really well (cold on delicate, I don’t put them in the dryer), and wear even better." —JWH
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).
10. A two-piece sweater-and-shorts knit set that'll likely become your working- from-home uniform — the top is stylish enough to keep you looking put together on Zoom calls while the bottoms are just comfy-cozy.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these sets. This is my second time purchasing one, and I practically live in them at home. It fits true to size, and the waist is adjustable and stretches! I also wear the tops with high waisted jeans or joggers since it is cropped. Definitely can be worn and styled differently." —Mae
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 26 styles).
11. High-waisted leggings, because structured pants are *not* welcome to join in on your lazy day plans. Sorry, not sorry.
Promising review: "If you’re on the fence about buying these leggings, DO IT. I bought a black pair (plus size) to see how they’d fit and let me tell you! I have wide hips, big thighs, and a large behind, and these leggings fit perfectly! Even better, THEY ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH when I bend over!! I’ve *never* found leggings that weren’t sheer when I bent over before! I bought eight more in different colors and they all are the same quality! I love them so much that over a year later I bought two more black pairs!! I recommend these leggings to everyone I hear talking about the difficulties of finding good leggings. I swear I wear these to work three times a week, at least. I love them!!" —hali howard
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in standard and plus sizes, 3 lengths, and 25 colors/patterns).
12. A plain white Madewell tee you'll regard as one of the most versatile items in your closet. You can wear it while hanging out playing video games in sweats or pair it with jeans and a blazer for a more polished look.
13. Richer Poorer recycled sweats, because everyone should have *at least* one pair of ridiculously comfortable sweatpants in their lazy day lineup.
You can make it a matching set with this recycled fleece sweatshirt.
Here's more from my colleague Emma Lord:
"Before these sweatpants, I had three rotating sweatpants that each had, like, One Good Thing about them, but weren't overall great. After I got these Richer Poorer sweatpants, I straight up got rid of all the others, because this pair has it all. I'm talking ridiculously soft fabric on the inside, and — be still my millennial heart — the aforementioned POCKETS. I tend not to go outside in sweatpants, but I do occasionally have to run down to the lobby of my building to pick up deliveries, and these make me feel very ~sweatpants chic~ (and the deep pockets are truly appreciated for holding things like my phone and keys and face masks). I can tell these are going to be a favorite of mine for a loooong, long time (unless I end up getting it in other colors, in which case it might tie for my favorite with those, lolol)."
Get it from Richer Poorer for $76 (available in sizes XS–L and five colors).
14. A satin robe that'll add a touch of luxury to your loungewear while also making you feel like absolute royalty.
KIM+ONO is an Asian-owned small business run by two sisters who started out in San Fran's Chinatown. They pair contemporary aesthetics with more traditional shapes and materials to create timeless pieces.
Promising review: "This robe comes all the way down to the top of my feet and clears the ground by 1–2 cm. The cut is perfect, it is flowy, comfortable, and the design is beautiful. And it has pockets! This is a very cost effective alternative to a 100% silk robe." —Amy
Get it from KIM+ONO on Amazon for $47.99 (available in one size here and in a plus size option, and 29 patterns).
15. An oversized linen jumpsuit you'll absolutely treasure — wear it to the farmers market, to scrub your floors, or grab coffee with a friend. We love a versatile optionnnnn!
Promising review: "These are too perfect for words. I'll be buying the other colors as soon as possible! They are super comfortable and extremely versatile. They're great for yard work, casual events, cute swimsuit coverup, and more. These are going to get so much wear!" —Cara
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–4X and in nine colors).
16. A satin two-piece loungewear set you can count on make you feel like one of the wealthy housewives you've been watching for hours on Bravo while lying on your couch eating snacky-snacks.
Promising review: "These pajamas are gorgeous — the print and colors look exactly like the photo! However, I am returning and ordering one size larger. So, DO order, but go up in size! Also, the fabric has no stretch, so keep that in mind for sizing." —PA Art Teacher
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL Plus and 18 colors/patterns).
