This week in Style Chat, someone asked about elevated loungewear that they can wear out of the house which inspired me to put together a more comprehensive edit of elevated loungewear and chat about how to style it.
First things first, I think the key to taking your loungewear to the streets is starting with a wide leg pant or a pant that has a wider leg opening (i.e. it could be more fitted through the leg). From here you can pair it a variety of tops and layers to kick it up a notch while maintaining peek cozy and comfort levels. A few combinations that I personally love: paired with knitwear (often an oversized crewneck, cardigan or turtleneck) gently tucked in at the waist, a button down or t-shirt with a sweater draped over your shoulders as a scarf, or a with hoodie paired with a tailored wool coat.
Second, I think fabric choice is equally as important as silhouette. In the cooler months, I gravitate towards, wool, cashmere and silky or satin materials (in the summer I lean more towards linen and silk). Even though it’s not the warmest, I love pairing a matching silk set with heels for dinner out.
From there you can add footwear and accessories accordingly. If I’m just popping out for coffee or to run a few errands, I’ll often throw on a loafer or my sambas. Alternatively sometimes I’ll thrown on a pair of heel with a knit pant and an oversized cardigan if I’m going out to dinner or grab a drink with a friend. Below are a few pieces that I think could easily transition from the couch to the streets.
