With lockdown 2.0. underway, why not use the excuse of ‘self-care’ to treat yourself to some super soft separates? Not only does loungewear allow for an elevated look but it requires little to no imagination – making it perfect to pull together on the days where you’re not feeling your best self. 

Plus, just because you’re told to stay home – doesn’t mean your style needs to be sacrifices. So, scroll own down for some cosy cashmere sets, thick jumpers to take away your winter jitters, and terrific two-pieces that’ll do the trick. Oh, and make sure to look out for the loungewear sets from local businesses, which we’ve included at the bottom. 

M&S Cosy Lounge Hoodie and Wide Leg Pants

Love every second of your downtime in these knitted two-piece. The wide leg shape ensures plenty of room to lounge, and the added stretch and elasticated drawstring waistband make for a comfortable fit should you find yourself heading to the crisp cupboard for the third time a day.

1. Cotton Lounge Wide Leg Pant – M&S – £15.00

2. Cosy Lounge Hoodie – M&S – £18.00

Chinti & Parker Black Star Cashmere Sweater & Track Pants

We love luxury brand Chinti & Parker, who were creating luxurious loungewear sets long before lockdown. Yep, even the first one. We especially like the grown-up take on this pretty star print in 100% cashmere. It’s fun but in a neutral enough style to be able to get away with wearing outside of the house, should you pop out for your one exercise a day, or a trip to your local shops for snacks.

3. Black Slouchy Star Cashmere Sweater – Chinti & Parker – £275.00

4. Black Star Cashmere Track Pants – Chinti & Parker – £295.00

Mango Elastic Waist Trousers & Cotton Hoodie

If you prefer your loungewear to be lowkey, this simple hoodie and wide-leg trouser set from Mango is worth considering. Although the model is wearing her comfy slippers on set, this will also look super stylish with a simple trench coat draped on top, as well as some white trainers to tie the whole look together. 

5. Elastic Waist Trousers – Mango – £35.99

6. Cotton Hoodie – Mango – £35.99

Mango Button Knit Cardigan, Knit Jogger-Style Trousers or Skirt

Team the longline cardigan with leggings if you want your loungewear to provide cosy coverage – or pair with the stretchy pencil skirt if you’re after something more sophisticated and sexy.

The cosy days are really calling with this super cute grey loungewear set from your favourite Swedish brand. Best of all this set comes with a hibernation enticing hooded top, making it the ideal sign that you’re not up for socialising… or as the perfect sunblock if you fancy a cheeky afternoon nap on the sofa. But to keep things sophisticated, you may want to pair the set with these fluffy flip flop-esque slippers – which are a homage to the high-end brand, Chloé but without the bougee price tag to match.

13. Grey Jersey Loungewear Set – H&M – £24.99

14. Faux Fur Slippers – H&M – £17.99

Oh, Zara you’ve done it again. This polo stop gives a simple nod to ‘workwear appropriate’ meaning you can wear on Zoom calls with your colleagues. Pair it with the matching trousers to create a chic ensemble, before making it that bit edgier with some trainers should you decide to leave your house.
