Lounging around at home in soft, comfortable clothing was something we previously viewed as a luxury. Now, nearly one year into the coronavirus pandemic, it's part of everyday life. While there's nothing wrong with tossing on a beloved pair of sweatpants or that ultra-cozy sweatshirt that dates back to your college days for movie nights and lazy weekend mornings, it's nice to have polished, put together-looking pieces you can wear for everything from work from home days, Zoom happy hours, and quarantine dinners with your family. The good news? So many brands have really perfected the loungewear game, and they now offer pieces that pull double-duty: They're so cozy you'll never want to take them off, but they also look so good that you really don't have to—even if you have to join a video call for work. 

And there's a really practical reason for investing in some high-quality pieces of loungewear: When you look good, you feel good, and though it may be tempting to stay in comfortable pajamas all day long when you don't have to leave the house, doing so can eventually become taxing on your mental health. Plus, treating yourself to new loungewear pieces is a nice reminder that we can still feel stylish and put together even if we're still spend the bulk of our days at home.

Whether you're searching for matching sets, upgraded sweatpants, cozy hoodies, or professional-looking knitwear, know that there's a piece of loungewear out there for you. Here, we've rounded up the pieces that we think offer the ultimate trifecta: They feel good, look good, and they're timeless enough that they're worth the investment. Scoop up one or two of these cozy, fashion-forward ensembles and matching sets, and bask in the sense of knowing you'll look good, even if you have nowhere to go.
