    32 Very Comfortable Pieces Of Loungewear For Anyone Planning To Crank Up The AC This Summer

    Set your AC to its coldest setting, bundle up, and pretend it's the best season of all (winter, duh).

    1. 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 $12.49+ (available in standard and plus sizes, 3 lengths, and 25 colors/patterns).

    2. A two-piece number complete with ribbed wide leg pants and a matching top that'll look so cute in the cute pics you'll be tempted to take while you're relaxing with your bestie, soaking in the AC on the hottest summer days.

    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). 

    4. Wide leg checkered lounge pants you'll make excuses to turn the AC down during the summer just so you can break these out.

    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 $31.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).

    6. 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 $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors and styles).

    7. A Posh Peanut x Lisa Frank loungewear set manifested from your '90s dreams — the fabric is so incredibly soft you won't ever want to take it off. It's not heavy, so it'll be a great option to wear while lounging at home all summer.

    Posh Peanut

    I personally have a pair of these pajamas from their Barbie collab (sadly they've sold out) and they are SO soft. I run very hot and they've been great to sleep in during that awkward New York weather phase where it's not hot enough to put the air on but still a bit stuffy without it. The fabric is stretchy, comfy, and I can't wait to buy more styles.

    Get it from Posh Peanut but for $92 (available in sizes 00–22) and check out the entire Lisa Frank collection.

    8. 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 shorts, 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). 

    9. 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!

    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. An embroidered sweatshirt that'll easily become one of your most prized possessions — it's an absolute must-have for anyone who solely consumes iced coffee regardless of the temperature outside (or in their house, for that matter).

    If anyone in my life is reading this I *need* this sweatshirt in hot pink for my birthday. Thanks. Anyways, Oh Sarah Jean is a small business based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio that sells embroidered apparel.

    Promising review: "This sweatshirt is great quality and so cute!! I’m so happy with it. I’m in between sizes usually medium-large and I decided to go with a large just in case it shrank and I wanted a baggier look. It’s perfect!" —Kelly Hendricks

    Get it from Oh Sarah Jean on Etsy for $41+ (available in unisex sizes S–XL, 2X–4X, and two colors).

    12. Richer Poorer recycled sweats, because everyone should have *at least* one pair of ridiculously comfortable sweatpants in their lineup.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    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).

    13. 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 in the cool AC.

    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 $31.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL Plus and 18 colors/patterns).

    14. Colorful leggings with side pockets (!!!) you can keep your phone in — so when you *finally* settle in comfortably on the couch you won't wonder "where is my phone?" and then, begrudgingly, get up to go search for it.

    Promising review: "These leggings are AMAZING! Not only are they soft, comfortable, and squatproof, but they look so good on! I have a hard time finding leggings that are big enough around the thighs/butt area but fitting enough around the waistline. I can’t believe the price and the fact that my new favorite leggings are from Amazon." —MLK

    Get them from Amazon for $25+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors).

    15. An oversized pullover V-neck sweater made of a cozy waffle knit material you won't be able to get enough of — it'll look just as cute with leggings at home as it will with your fave pair of denim shorts on the beach.

    Promising review: "This is my new favorite go-to top for ANY occasion. I bought it to wear with heels and distressed jeans out with my fiancé, however the day turned into us and our daughter heading to a Mexican restaurant so I simply changed from heels to my Birkenstocks and it was just as cute. I’m buying every color. LOVE THIS SHIRT!" –Katie

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in a variety of colors). 

    16. Stretchy joggers designed to wear both in and out of the house — they're made from a naturally cooling and moisture-wicking material that'll make them the *perfect* addition to your summer loungewear collection.

    Promising review: "I love socks and am also very picky about socks. These socks checked all my boxes! They're comfortable socks, they're thick but not too thick, and I wear them all the time. I will be coming back to order some more soon!!" —Abi Tamburro

    Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19+ (fits women's sizes 6–10).

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, River Babe Threads

    River Babe Threads is a woman-owned small business based in Michigan that sells handmade items and original designs. When I had my baby, my sister and I bought matching "caffeine and chaos" sweatshirts and also bought a coordinating shirt for him to grow into (it, fittingly, says "I'm the chaos"). It's super soft and comfortable, and I love that the style feels a bit more stylish than most of my other pullovers. I've absolutely been running around in it all winter and will likely all year.

    Get it from River Babe Threads for $20 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL).

    22. A pair of plush slippers to protect your feet from the ice-like tiled floors in your home while also letting you show off your fresh pedicure. 

    Promising review: "The coziest, softest slippers ever! And adorable! Great rubber traction on the bottom. Yet, soft and lightweight." —Lauren Fuquay

    Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes 5–10, including narrow sizes, and 12 colors).

    23. A crew neck that'll help you express your entire mood — a skeleton sippin' on some coffee. It's just as relatable as it is comfortable!

    Promising review: "I bought this shirt oversized. But I was surprised at how soft this crew neck was! Graphic has held up in multiple washes." —Jillydukez

    Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in unisex sizes S–2XL and five colors).

    24. A two-piece set, so you can look put together without actually having to think about whether what you're throwing on matches. You're welcome.

    Promising review: "For those of you who like to go to Walmart in your PJs and flannel pants, order this set! You will still be comfy but look great. These sets are lightweight but not see-through. True to size without fitting skintight. Extremely comfortable and versatile. Dress it up or down." —-Mimi-

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 31 colors).

    25. cropped sweater tank and shorts set that's exactly what you'd find pictured next to the definition of "cozy" in the dictionary. You can also complete the look with a matching cardigan!

    Promising reviews: "Very cute and comfortable! Thicker material versus some other sets. Top is short but the bottoms are high cut and flexible so they fit together well!" —C. Larson

    "This is the perfect sweater set! I love that the top and cardigan can be worn separately or with other pieces, making it super versatile. Each piece washed well and is very soft and comfortable. Would definitely buy in another color. Also, I sized up in the knit tank so that it fits less like a bra top and it ended up being a perfect crop!" —Nicole Thibou

    Get the set from Amazon: $34.90+ (for the tank; available in sizes 2XS–2XL, 2X–3X, and five colors) and $39.90+ (for the shorts; available in sizes 2XS–2XL, 2X–3X and in four colors).

    26. High-waisted leggings from Aerie's Offline collection, aka my holy grail, wear-every-single-day, absolute favorite pair of leggings. They're stretchy, soft, and perfect for both working out or hanging out. I simply adore them.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Aerie

    During the first year of working from home, I made it a personal goal to find the BEST black leggings of all time. The GOAT of leggings. And for me, after trying countless pairs, Aerie's are IT! I own multiple black pairs and love that they come in short lengths! A game changer for me! I also wore them throughout my entire pregnancy (I just sized up) and was perfectly content, they seemed to stretch along with me. These are the most affordable of all the leggings I've tried and loved — I simply cannot recommend them enough.

    Get them from Aerie for $31.71 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL, in regular, long, and short lengths, and five colors).

    27. A pajama set you'd probably receive from your fairy godmother after wishing upon a star for something cozy to wear to bed — perfect for a hot summer night when you *know* you're going to set the AC to its coolest setting.

    Promising review: "Super comfy, cozy, and cute! Love these, great fabric! I washed before I wore them and they didn’t shrink! That’s a huge plus! Quality is really good, the printed stars didn’t color fade or bleed into the white background! Very pleased! Fits perfectly too!" —RJ

    Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 29 styles).

    28. A comfy oversized sweatshirt you can personalize with the name of your kiddos, so when their cries wake you up for the umpteenth time you can toss it on before heading to the couch, turning on Miss. Rachel (bless that woman) and enjoying your air conditioning while your mini is entertained for a bit. It'll ensure you're always nice 'n' warm even if you're bleary-eyed and exhausted.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, BFFs and Babes

    BFFs and Babes is a woman-owned small business that sells customized apparel for both adults and kiddos — I have so many beloved items from them that I've truly lost count. 

    I have this sweatshirt (as seen in the photo to the left) and have been living in it since my son was born over a year ago. It's unbelievably soft and I love that I was able to add his name to it. I've even gotten it for my mom and all of my sisters (in the grandma and aunt styles, obvs). My son didn't sleep through the night until he was around 11 months (sigh). It was essential for me to have a comfy sweatshirt next to my bed at all times to throw on in the middle of the night before heading into his room to problem solve — no one wants to be tired and cold. I even wore it on my first Mother's Day. (My baby wasn't even a month old and I simply wasn't ready to "get dressed.")

    Get it from BFFS and Babes for $75 (available in unisex sizes S–2XL and 10 styles).

    29. An oversized knit cardigan in an array of gorgeous colors — ideal if you're someone who *waffles* between being too hot and too cold and loves nothing more than a go-to layering option.

    Promising review: "I have these cardigans in three different colors, need I say more? They are thick and heavy, which I like because I bought them for winter, but since it’s cotton, I feel like they will be comfortable in spring and fall too. They keep their shape and quality after washing. For sizing comparison, I have them in S, and I usually wear US S in tops." —Anonimous

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 27 colors).

    30. Cozy slippers that'll put a smile on your face and your feet — kick back, relax, and let the world know you're taking a much-needed break in the comfort of your perfectly chilled home.

    Promising review: "Had been looking for a pair of slippers and these are by far my favorite! Very soft, warm and comfortable! The quality is totally there! Will be purchasing again!" —Taylor Foster

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes 6.5–9.5 and 14 styles).

    31. hoodie and joggers set inspired by Jasmine's pants from Aladdin so you can feel like a Disney Princess even if you're only planning to marathon their films all weekend.

    Art Care Shop is an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based small business that makes stylish and comfy "basics" that are actually anything but. 

    Promising review: "Sooo, I’m obsessed with this. I have it in blue lavender and charcoal now, and both are perfect! The material is so soft and plush and warm (like, impressively high quality), and I love the high-waisted pants! I don’t remember how I found this shop, but I’m so glad I did. Also — I ended up exchanging sizes, and it was the easiest exchange of my life! And shipping is always super quick!" —Caroline Morris

    Get it from Art Care Shop on Etsy for $120 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors). 

    32. And an iconic "Send it to Darrell" crewneck for anyone who has been following along with all of the Vanderpump Rules drama this year. If your summer plans include enjoying your air conditioning while re-hashing Scandoval, this sweatshirt belongs with you.

    Lala Kent

    I've been watching Vanderpump Rules from Day 1, so it took very little convincing to persuade myself to order one of these sweatshirts. (I got it in the black hooded style.) It's very comfy — I opted to get it oversized, and I've already been wearing it when we have our AC bumpin'. You can also get the themed apparel in a variety of other colors/styles.

    Get it from Lala Kent for $60 (available in sizes S–2XL).
