Stylish loungewear to hibernate in this winter
Thanks to the Danish notion of hygge – a feeling of cosy contentment manifested by enjoying the simple things in life like candles, warming cups of tea and fluffy socks – lounging around the house is no longer considered lazy.
Instead, it’s fast become a favourite way for many to relax but, far from slouching about in your holey sweats, now the fashion industry is offering a way to unwind with a semblance of style.
The final word in luxury lounging, cashmere is the perfect way to tastefully hunker down for the new season, be it in a snuggly jumper, cardigan or a pair of the softest bed socks.
Notoriously expensive though, those on a budget will be pleased to here that there are plenty of purse-friendly options too.
Par for the course with some of the high street’s biggest names, we suggest heading to Marks and Spencer’s for more a affordable option where Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s line for Autograph continues to impress.
This season, you can expect to get your hands on pure cashmere two-pieces, long sleeve night dresses, cardigans and even silky separates.
Speaking of which, pyjamas have come a long way since the days of mismatched novelty numbers. Instead, these days your drawers are more likely to be lined with lavishly superior versions that can be worn both in and out of the bedroom.
From Olivia Von Halle’s premium pairs inspired by Coco Chanel and the glamorous loungewear she wore in the 1920’s, to Victoria’s Secret, J Crew and Whistles’ collaboration with London-based label Yolke, the concept of traditional sleepwear is being turned on its sartorial head.
As shorter days and colder nights set in, there’s nothing more appealing than a comfy pair of PJs, but now, thanks to a decadent shift in the market, you can embrace your inner couch potato with zero guilt and superfluous style points.
