Loungewear

Collection: Buy Loungewear on Sale

Loungewear has become one of the most popular ways to unwind at home, sitting somewhere between everyday clothing and traditional nightwear. Unlike pyjamas, which are designed specifically for sleeping, loungewear is generally made to be worn while relaxing, working from home or spending a lazy day around the house, which is why it tends to be a little more substantial and often includes practical details like hoods and pockets. It's a category that's grown significantly in recent years, as more people look for comfortable, easy-to-wear pieces that work for a range of at-home moments, not just bedtime.

Is loungewear the same as pyjamas?

Not quite, though the two are closely related and the line between them can blur, particularly with cosier styles. Pyjamas are traditionally designed for sleeping, while loungewear is made for general comfort around the house, so it tends to be a little sturdier and warmer, our wearable hooded blankets being a good example of a piece that goes well beyond what you'd typically sleep in. Shoppers often ask whether it's acceptable to wear loungewear outside the house, and while it's really down to personal preference, most loungewear pieces are designed with indoor comfort as the priority rather than being built for outdoor wear, so they're best kept for relaxed days at home rather than as everyday outerwear. It's also worth thinking about layering, as a wearable hooded blanket paired with warm socks or slippers makes for one of the cosiest combinations for a night in, particularly through the colder months. For more ways to add warmth to your evenings in, our fleece throws and faux fur throws pair easily with our loungewear range, and our electric blankets are worth a look if you're after even more warmth on the coldest nights.
