Best Overall: Cozy Earth Bamboo Joggers
Pros
- Available in three different styles
- Comes in seven different colors
- 2,000 reviews on Cozy Earth and a 4.9 star rating!
- One of Oprah’s ‘Favorite Things’ in 2020
Cons
- None that we’ve found, which is why they’ve earned our top spot!
Joggers, especially buttery soft ones from Cozy Earth, are great for lounging in. Featuring ultra-soft brushed fabric, they’re exactly what we want to pad around the house in on lazy Sundays, and can be kept on if we need to do a quick run to the store. If bamboo isn’t your favorite material, they’re also available in cashmere, modal, and rib-knit. No wonder they were one of Oprah’s favorite things in 2022.
Editor’s Note: “The Cozy Earth Bamboo Joggers are some of my favorite bottoms to wear,” shared Victoria Giardinia, The Post’s Commerce Writer at Content Strategist. “Not only are they buttery soft but everyone in my family is obsessed with the material; they always want to steal it out of my closet! When I’m lounging on the couch watching Netflix or running around the house cleaning, these are the bottoms I reach for. Oh, and everything else from Cozy Earth — bamboo sheets included — are worth the investment.”

Best Knitted Loungewear Set: Free People Malibu Solid Pant Surf Set

Cons
- Selling out fast, so grab them while you can!
If an ultra-relaxed fit is what you crave, give this loungewear set from Free People a try. The top has a crew neckline and drop shoulders for a drapey fit, and the pants are high-rise, so they shouldn’t drag on the floor. Available in multiple colors, each would look super stylish with chunky white sneakers and some gold jewelry.
Customers are saying: “Absolutely obsessed with this set; so comfortable and perfect for lounging. I’m postpartum and it’s the perfect outfit to feel somewhat put together while being at home! Need it in more colors immediately!”

Best Bamboo Loungewear: Cozy Earth Long Sleeve Bamboo Pajama Set
Pros
- Available in regular and tall
- Comes in eight different colors, and two prints
- Made with eco-friendly materials
Cons
- Can be washed with fabric softener
If you want to get technical, the main difference between pajamas and loungewear is that the latter can be worn outside. However, we’d be more than happy to wear these (with a coat) to drive the kids to school. We certainly would wear them on WFH days and weekends. Lightweight and moisture-wicking, they have the perfect amount of stretch and a comfortable relaxed fit. Available in 13 colors, they were named one of Oprah’s favorite things in 2019.
Editor’s note: “These are my new favorite loungewear because of the weighted quality of the fabric,” said Commerce Reporter, Emma Sutton-Williams. “It’s almost like a perpetual hug around my body, which honestly I need when I get home from a day in the city (people, it’s brutal out there). The bamboo is cooling all night and chic enough to handle a Zoom call by day.”

Available in a variety of colors, it’s lightweight without being flimsy and is offered in a wide range of sizes and colors. Although we like this for hanging around our home, the puffed sleeves and piping on the top make it stylish enough to wear to lunch with the girls.
Customers are saying: “I bought the matching French terry set with the puff sleeve top and I absolutely love it! So comfortable and cute and easy to dress it up a bit for an elevated casual look.”

Chances are you know SKIMS better for its snug-fitting silhouettes and selection of shapewear, but the loungewear section is just as tempting. The Post’s Commerce Writer, Emma Sutton Williams, has a soft spot for her sexier, more relaxed set from SKIMS.
Editor’s Note: “I turn to SKIMS for anything sexy. Leave it to Kim K. to turn loungewear into a turn-on. But listen, sometimes I want to feel hot while I’m watching TV, enjoying another night on the town from my couch, or cooking dinner while singing ‘Kill Bill’ with a smile on my face. It’s a mood that isn’t just cute but with material that’s smooth as butter, like a second skin,” shared Sutton-Williams.

Editor’s Note: “No one does comfy clothing quite like Eberjey,” noted Page Six Commerce Writer, Hannah Southwick. “While I’m obsessed with the brand’s buttery soft Tencel Modal PJs — as are plenty of celebrities — I currently have my eye on this cute pullover set from the same stretchy material. After all, what’s better than loungewear that feels like pajamas, but looks far chicer?”

Trendy Loungewear Set: Alo Yoga Muse Sweat Pant and Alo Yoga Muse Zip Up Hoodie
Pros
- Ribbed texture

For days you’re not downward dogging, slip on the Muse Sweat Pant and matching zip-up hoodie from Alo Yoga. Both are made with soft, wide-ribbed material that feels plush and cozy against the skin. Wear while you binge watch your favorite show or dash to the Duane Reade for snacks. Both are available in multiple colors and have hundreds of favorable reviews. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be adding your own before you know it.
Editor’s Note: “These pants feel as good as they look!” said Commerce Editor and Writer Camryn La Sala. “The heavy but breathable fabric is what makes them my go-to sweats all year round. I love the high-rise waistband and ankle cuffs for a jogger-style silhouette.”

Luxury Loungewear Set: LUXOME Women’s Essential Wide-Leg Pant
Pros
- Soft and durable
- Great for colder months
- Available in four colors
Cons
- Some customers report shrinking, and recommend drying on a low heat
We love the loungewear from LUXOME, so it’s really hard for us to recommend only one item. And honestly, if you knew how soft and comfortable the hoodie ($85) or joggers ($85) were, you’d understand. However, we admit that the Women’s Essential Wide-Leg Pant is a favorite of ours, mainly for the relaxed fit and luxurious feel of the material. Made from a combo of modal-fleece, polyester and elastane, the midweight pant is soft, warm and offers four-way stretch for comfort and flexibility. Naturally moisture-wicking and boasting a plush and snuggly interior, you’ll never want to take them off. Available in four relaxing colors, they do look fantastic paired with the hoodie. And if you want to take the coziness up a notch, consider adding the Ultra Plush Robe ($125) into your cart.

You could mix and match from a variety of Aritzia’s Cozy Fleece tops and bottoms, but one of our writers just can’t get enough of the Cozy Fleece Mega Drop Shoulder Hoodie and the Perfect Utility Sweatpants.
Editor’s Note: “I couldn’t wait to try Aritzia’s supreme Cozy Fleece, the premium midweight fleece is supposed, ‘famous for its soft-brushed back,’ and the brand is not kidding when they say that,” shared Commerce Reporter, Miska Salemann. “I often forget I’m wearing anything at all in this set. It definitely has a bit of a sporty look, so I throw them over a sports bra and leggings when I am headed to the gym.”

Available in a variety of colors, the top has comfy drop shoulders and a block collar for extra warm. It’s on the baggier side, so if you want something with more structure, this may not be for you. However, if you like clothing of the oversized variety, this may be your perfect fit.
Customers are saying: “These are so thick and warm yet lightweight! I wear them in the middle of winter to take my dog out and it’s all I need [to not get cold]. The cold air doesn’t go through the material…they stretch with you when you sit down. I honestly have never had anything that I loved as much as these.”
Size: S-L | Color options: 8 | Material: Polyester
Best Loungewear for Travel: Spanx AirEssentials Half Zip and Wide Leg Pants
Pros
- Available in 10 colors
- Light but warm material
- Four-way stretch
Cons
- Color options sell out fast
You can’t go wrong with one of Oprah’s favorite things, especially when it comes to this loungewear from Spanx. Made with light, four-way stretching fabric, you’ll love how soft and flexible the material is. Available in a variety of colors, they have to be purchased separately, but both are so flattering together, we’re willing to bet you won’t mind.
Editor’s Note: While we’re yet to get our hands on a lounge set from Spanx — our Updates Editor, Holly J. Coly has been a longtime fan of the Spanx brand and specifically, the Seamless Leggings. “I’m not a loungewear girlie, but I do like to be snatched at all times and Spanx is the brand to own if you want that plus comfort,” shared Coley. “Its Seamless Leggings are thick enough to keep you warm for fall and winter, and they have a double waistband to smooth the tummy area, including love handles. True to their name, they have no seams which means they don’t accentuate the lady parts (if you know what I mean?). They are flexible too, so they’re great to wear if you need to run errands or do some stuff around the house.”

What is the difference between pajamas and loungewear?
This is a great question because women’s pajamas and loungewear do have a lot in common. They’re both comfortable, perfect for naps, as well as lazy days around the house.
Similarities aside, they’re not the same. Here are a few of their differences:
Purpose: Although they’re both comfy, pajamas are designed for sleep, while loungewear is made to be worn outside. Because people benefit from cooler environments when bedtime rolls around, many pajamas are made with temperature regulating materials, such as silk or bamboo. In contrast, loungewear fabric tends to be thicker and more protective against the elements.
Style: Fashion-wise, loungewear is very versatile, coming in the form of joggers, oversized shirts, leggings, hoodies and shorts. Although pajamas can be versatile too, most have the same style prototype: a matching bottom and top with buttons, collar — you get the picture. They also tend to be lighter than loungewear pieces.
Material: In comparison to pajamas, loungewear can be made from a wider range of materials because they’re meant for the outdoors. Heavier fibers, such as fleece or knit blends are just as common as sets made from 100% cotton.
Pajamas are usually made from lighter materials that are breathable, such as cotton, silk or satin. While there are exceptions, like fleece pajamas, they still wouldn’t have the design details to make them appropriate for outside. Hoodies, sleeves with thumbholes and similar features are common in loungewear, making it easier to transition from your couch to the local bodega without much fuss. Can you nap in them? Sure, but they’re truly meant to bring the comfort of PJs with a little more protection.
Are lounge sets still in style?
Loungewear has been around since the 1940s, but it stepped back into the spotlight in 2020 when many of us took a more…relaxed approach to our appearance.
The cool thing about the loungewear sets of today is that they’re fairly easy to dress up. This means that they can not only be enjoyed when relaxing at home but going out.
How to style loungewear
- Be intentional with your footwear: The quickest way to vamp up a loungewear set is with your shoes. Pairing strappy heels with tapered or jogger-style lounge pants not only streamlines the entire look, but gives a more sophisticated feel to the overall ensemble. Alternatively, chunky sneakers or platform boots can edge up the look of your loungewear.
- Add a blazer: A jacket instantly takes loungewear up a notch. Choose one that balances the proportions of your chosen loungewear set. For example, if your pants are extra baggy, a more tailored jacket will help to offset them. Similarly, if your pants are more fitted, an oversized blazer will add a more relaxed but still put together element to the outfit.
- Accessorize: If you can’t be bothered with the above, you can still jazz up your set with jewelry. A chunky pair of gold hoops or necklace can neutralize the casualness loungewear can have. It’s also an easy way to add some sparkle or a focal point to your look, especially if it’s monochrome.
