These sets and separates make comfort a priority.

There once was a time when you’d come home from work, change out of your office attire, and slip into something more comfortable to lounge in. Back then, “loungewear” translated to baggy sweatpants and old graphic T-shirts. Now loungewear is a category all its own, consisting of stylish separates and sets that are, essentially, elevated pajamas that you can wear almost anywhere, depending, of course, on how you style them. This relaxed way of dressing saw an especially steep surge of popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic, putting comfort at the forefront of fashion, and securing itself as a closet staple across both women’s and men’s wardrobes.

The only downside to the loungewear trend is that because these comfy basics are so high in demand, the market is saturated. Search any store’s dot-com and you’re bound to find a plethora of matching sets, fuzzy cardigans, done-in-one jumpsuits and dresses, and pants with stretchy waistbands. We’re not complaining; the more the merrier when it comes to non-restrictive tops and bottoms. Still, trying to identify the best women’s loungewear is a bit trickier when you’re sifting through literally hundreds of thousands of cozy options. But worry not, because we've rounded up 20 of the best women's loungewear sets and separates to upgrade your current collection.

If you treat yourself to any elevated basic on this list, this long-sleeved crewneck sweatshirt and coordinating pant set are the quintessential loungewear outfit. Available in birch (a creamy beige tone) and ink (a deep indigo hue), each solid set includes a crewneck with ribbed cuffs and part-modal, part-spandex wide-leg pants designed with a functional grosgrain ribbon tie. While ideal for vegging out on the couch or a chill work-from-home ensemble, the sleek set can also be worn out of the house should you need to run an errand or grab a coffee. Just add sneakers, and a duster coat and scarf for chillier outings.

Just with one touch you'll see why Oprah chose these joggers as one of her Favorite Things. They are irresistibly soft. Made with 70 percent bamboo viscose, the fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, ensuring extra comfort. Practicalities like coziness aside, these joggers have such a stylish silhouette, you can wear them pretty much anywhere. Their flattering fit and phone-friendly side pockets just about guarantee these as your all-season wardrobe staple. Why not go the whole way and pair with the coordinating ultra soft pullover?

This silk set truly defines luxury loungewear. While we highly recommend treating yourself to both parts of any matching set, the cozy cotton variegated rib pants tops our list of loungewear must-haves. The high-rise lounge bottoms are naturally thermoregulating to ensure you stay nice and cozy, never overheated. They’re also 100 percent machine-washable, and come in two neutral colors (black and cream) so you can mix and match them with your favorite tanks and basic tops.

When it comes to sussing out the worst from the best women’s loungewear, consider the item’s level of convenience. For example, this done-and-one option takes the cake. It features a culotte-inspired bottom that’s easy to move in, and a universally flattering V-neckline, leaving the option to accessorize wide open. The rich fig hue will fit seamlessly into any fall/winter wardrobe, and because the tank-style top isn’t bulky, the piece works as a foundation for bulky layers as the weather gets cold.

Social media has been raving about these lounge dresses, and for good reason. There are mini and maxi versions, long-sleeved and sleeveless, but considering autumn is upon us and winter’s on its way, we’d recommend treating yourself to this slinky slip that’s floor-length and has sleeves for optimal comfort and warmth. It will accentuate you in all the right places and is versatile, so you can slip into a pair of heels for dinner out with friends or keep things casual with a pair of slippers for a date night in, watching movies with your partner.

Just because loungewear has an elevated feel these days doesn’t mean the industry’s giving the ax to quality sweats. The Xssential Hoodie is aptly named; the oversize fleece is simultaneously cozy and cool. Available in five color options, including platinum gray and deep forest green, the hoodie is designed with a spacious front kangaroo pocket and roomy drawstring hood you can pop on in inclement weather, or when you want to shut out the world and take a nap.

Whoever said sweats are frumpy obviously never shopped loungewear at & Other Stories. This velour hoodie is giving serious updated 2000s tracksuit vibes. The piece is constructed from organic cotton and designed with gathered puff sleeves for stylistic flare. Pair it with your favorite joggers or denim, white sneakers, and if you really want to channel the early aughts aesthetic, accessorize with a scrunchie around your wrist.

Arguably one of the best parts about loungewear becoming more socially acceptable outside the home is it normalizes wearing pants that aren’t restrictive around the waistline. This wide-leg style, for example, can be worn on or off the yoga mat. The pants are constructed from modal, cotton, and elastane—a trifecta of cozy materials—and comes in three colors, including charcoal heather, mushroom, and blush.

These joggers are something of a standard when it comes to loungewear. The pants are made from 100 percent polyester, but they feel like they’re made from clouds. The combination of their relaxed fit, fluffy texture, and stretchy waistline make these bottoms the ultimate loungewear pant.

ICYDK, Ugg sells more than just boots. The Australian brand, best known for its snuggly footwear, has a collection of cozy loungewear, too, and this cardigan is a must-experience item. The duster-length style is part sweater, part robe, with long sleeves, welt pockets, and a fixed hood. It comes in five colors (driftwood, honor blue, black, gray, and cloud gray leopard) and is made from a blend of polyester and nylon. You’ll want to have this one handy for all the cool nights and frightful weather conditions ahead.

This list would not be complete without showcasing something effortlessly cozy-chic. The Circle Cardigan offers a lot of bang for your buck, as it’s such a versatile piece. Constructed from a blend of nylon and rayon, with an open front, long sleeves with cuffs, and a ribbed shawl collar, the cardigan is the definition of comfortable. But while it’s obviously perfect for hanging around the homestead, its chic aesthetic makes the cardigan wearable at the office, as well.

Another jumpsuit option you’ll want to live in Monday through Sunday is this one. While the delicious plum hue is gorgeous for the cool-weather months, the one-piece is cut in such a way that’s easy and breezy, making it equally as perfect for spring and summer. Though roomy, its sleeveless and scoopneck design invites the wearer to layer under or over the garment; wear it as overalls with a long-sleeve crew or turtleneck, or layer overtop with a chunky knit cardigan and an oversize scarf.

Like sweatshirts, a good pair of joggers will always be a staple of the loungewear category. These come in five fun colors (including a bright red and muted lilac blush), and the ribbed material gives the sweatpants a more defined silhouette. It’s the kind of lounge pant you’ll want to cozy up on the couch, and on particularly boring Zoom meetings that call for comfort from the waist down.

It’s true that Spanx isn’t exactly known for roomy clothing—after all, it’s a shapewear brand best known for smoothing problem areas —but trust us, you do not want to overlook these pants. The bottoms are almost silky to the touch and incredibly lightweight. They’re designed with four-way stretch for maximal comfort and mobility and hit mid-rise, which is a bonus for those of us who don’t love a waistline that hits at the ribs. It’s the elevated lounge pant you’ve been dreaming of, and it comes in very black or navy.

The early aughts might have been the era of the sweatsuit, but it looks like the 2022-2023 fall-winter season might just be gunning for that very same title. Two-piece lounge sets are an especially popular purchase on Amazon, with this full ensemble having amassed over 8,900 reviews and an average of 4.5 out of a possible 5-star consumer rating. It’s a shorts and long-sleeved crewneck sweatsuit, available in over 20 color options. The pieces are made from a blend of polyester and rayon, and because the set features shorts, not pants, it can be comfortably worn year-round.

We first spotted this two-piece lounge outfit on social media and were immediately drawn to the tracksuit. It features a stylistic contrast of cropped joggers and a turtleneck pullover sweatshirt, and while effortlessly chic, the cozy vibes still come through. It’s giving ’80s athleisure vibes, and you can easily play up that aesthetic with a pair of cross-trainers and an open puffer jacket.

Another tracksuit that Amazon shoppers are raving about is this two-piece set. Available in 26 gorgeous color options, including a graphic design with the words “Be Kind” written across the top, the long-sleeved sweatsuit is the very definition of an elevated basic. You can wear the set as is, or mix and match the separates with your other favorite loungewear, wear it with sneakers, or dress it up with boots.

If you’re looking for the perfect sweatshirt dress, turn your attention to this cozy frock. The pullover-style piece is constructed from a cotton and polyester blend and is machine-washable. It comes in four colors—black, cocoa, moss, and light red—and hits above the knee. Unlike other T-shirt and sweatshirt dresses that have no shape, this one has a scoop neck and sleeves that slightly balloon, with fitted cuffs, giving the one-piece some much-needed dimension (though you still might want to add a belt to accentuate the waist). Dress it up for the office with wedges or flats, belted at the waist, and accessories like a long necklace, or throw it on for a day indoors, adding nothing but slippers to the ensemble.

Quarter zips are having a moment this fall/winter and this top is a great example of the trend. Available in ivory, plum, or olive, the chunky ribbed pullover can be worn on the mat for a cozy yoga flow or paired with jeans and knee-high boots for an elevated, but still relaxed, ensemble. It’s made with cotton, and reviewers claim the loungewear separate is as cozy as it looks. That said, it does boast a boxy, cropped fit, and reviewers with larger chests have expressed their disappointment in the overall aesthetic.

It’s almost turtleneck season, but not every high-neck top you sport this upcoming fall and winter has to be skintight. This style is plenty roomy, with a relaxed fit that pairs just as well with jeans as it does a trusted pair of leggings. Its button detailing draped across the left shoulder adds a bit of stylistic flare, and the elongated fitted cuffs give the slightly oversize top a more tailored fit. Don’t miss the opportunity to don the cozy top to the office: Just add a pair of trousers and a heeled boot, and you’re ready to rule the boardroom.

This style has quickly become a staple in many people's wardrobe. It's the perfect top to reach for after work and most evenings; it’s incredibly soft—made from polyester, rayon, and cotton—and the relaxed fit feels like a sigh of relief if you’ve been wearing an office-appropriate uniform all day. The overall aesthetic echoes early ’90s grunge, and though it pairs perfectly with yoga pants, it'll look effortlessly cool styled with ripped denim.
