Top 10 Lounge Sets

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Crazy soft and ultra lightweight, Outdoor Voices’s cloudknit fabric is renowned for its breathability and relaxed stretchy feel that clings but not too close. The hoodie comes with a thumb hole that keeps the hands from drowning into the sleeves. 

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: The fabric is also bluesign-approved, which means it's been tested according to higher-than-normal standards for the safety of the customer and the environment. 

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The brand’s buttery soft fabric is a blend of rayon, acrylic, and spandex that outlines the shape of the body but is still loose enough to feel casual. The hemline of the top is also long enough to be tucked in but not so long that it can’t be left out.

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: The sweatpants come with an easy drawstring waist.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Budget-conscious shoppers are impressed with the color and pattern options of this matching set. Plus, the ribbed neckline, sleeves, and hemline give it the transitional appeal of something that can be worn in and out the house. 

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: Jersey fabric feels as luxurious as silk but has a bit more weight to it.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Though the concept of a sweatshirt and shorts gives “winter on top and summer on bottom,” it’s just too stylish an outfit choice to pass up. This matching set is an ultra soft terry cloth fabric most often felt in spas and luxurious hotel bathrooms. 

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: The dropped shoulders and ribbed sleeves on the top give shoppers versatility in terms of how many ways it can be worn.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Timeless is the best way to describe this minimally designed, sustainably-made terry fabric pullover—a piece that will last and turn heads through the ages. The matching track jogger, with its thick waistband and tapered leg, is just as iconic. 

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: It comes in three neutral colors, which means shoppers will want to stock up on multiple pairs that can be mixed and matched.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Designed with commuters and busy bodies in mind, Lululemon’s oversized top and joggers are made for relaxation, even while running errands. The oversized top is designed to cover the bum, while the matching joggers are slightly more fitted and equipped with front pockets.

HELPFUL TIP: Terry cloth looks best when washed in cold water. 

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: Oversized loungewear isn’t every shopper’s cup of tea, which is why this cropped shape gets rave reviews. The slouchy sleeves on the top look stylish whether worn as is or scrunched up, and the fabric is a soft, fleecy blend of recyclable fabrics sourced from beech wood and plastic bottles.

USER REVIEW: “This is by far the softest lounge set I have ever worn. I want one in every color. If you're hesitant in the slightest, don’t be—you won’t regret it one bit. Buying loungewear online can be tricky because you can’t feel the fabric, but to ease your minds, this is the softest thing you will ever wear, and it’s so light weight.”

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The lived-in feel of this sweatshirt isn’t imaginary—it goes through a unique garment-dye and wash process that gives it one-of-a-kind softness and a truly vintage feel. The elasticized waist sans drawstring looks more uniform but feels just as comfy. 

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: The thick banded cuffs on the pants give the benefits of a cropped hemline without taking away from the full-length coverage.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The brushed rib material on this lounge set lends an elevated look that can transition effortlessly from yoga class to a posh outdoor meal. Plus, V-necks are a rarity in sweatshirts and pullovers. Combined with the relaxed, cropped hemline and interior drawstring on the shorts, this duo is undoubtedly the most stylish and unique pair of the bunch.

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: The shorts also have side pockets and one on the back.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: A closet without a hoodie? Insanity! Come back to your senses with this classic pullover, made with lightweight fabric that can be layered for extra warmth or worn alone to stay cool.

SOMETHING ELSE TO KNOW: The matching shorts are liner-less, allowing for easy movement whether you're lounging or working out.
