Stuff I Like: Loungewear.

Y'all, For someone who's been writing a style blog for more than ten  years, I'm a real disappointment when it comes to at-home fashion. I want to be the person that gets fully dressed in a cute outfit every morning for my remote job but honestly, unless I have a meeting, I'm wearing loungewear. It's not cute but I am VERY comfortable. I'll just see myself out. 

Orrrrrr I could tell you all about it and make you a slob like me. That seems like a better plan, somehow. First, I need to tell you about my favorite hoodie.  It's disgusting and I love it so much that when my first one wore out I tracked another one down on Poshmark. It's the velour-lined hoodie from J.Crew:

If they ever make it again I will probably buy four of them. It's just the right amount of cozy without being too thick and the lining is super-soft. I also have a pile-lined hoodie from Uniqlo and its great, but it's really best for the dead of winter. 


I have been thinking about upgrading my at-home hoodie game with this cashmere version from J.Crew. It's something I can see actually wearing out in the world and it would be great for travel. It's definitely under consideration. 

Next, let's talk joggers. I've mentioned my love for Quince SuperSoft Fleece Pants (I also love the fleece crew but not the hoodie, which I found flimsy) of which I own three pairs. But you know what? My Vuori Performance joggers are still my first choice. They're lightweight, incredibly soft and somehow still manage to be flattering. I also super-love the Long-Sleeve Halo Crew which is technically a sweatshirt but... elevated. Sometimes pricier things are actually worth it and for me, Vuori has been worth it.

It goes without saying that all of this fanciness should be worn with Birkenstock Boston Clogs. They're having a moment right now and are hard to find, but if you can track down a pair of the shearling-lined version (more colors here) they're worth ever single cozy penny. 

Finally, it's been a while since I rambled on about socks, right?  Last fall I bought a pair of my favorite Bombas athletic socks in the calf length version and they are THE BEST. Great around the house or for athletic endeavors but even better to wear with boots. They're contoured L and R and do not slide down. They also don't have an obnoxious toe seam so they're truly comfortable. Perfection! And, if you're new to Bombas you can get 25% off your first purchase if you go through my link. (Full disclosure: I get $20 credit with each sale.)

  1. My Vuori joggers, which I bought on your recommendation, may be one of my most favorite pieces of clothing ever. They are amazingly comfy and yet still flattering, just as you said. Worth every penny.

  2. I really like the Birkenstock clogs but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. I did find a "fake" version at jcrew factory (Faux-suede sherpa mules Item BJ268) so I'm going to give them a try. With the discount plus a bunch of rewards dollars, they came out to $22 so I feel better about trying those first.
