There's nothing wrong with lounging around the house in a beloved pair of sweatpants or that ultra-cozy sweatshirt from your college days—but when you want a polished yet comfortable look, elevated loungewear is a must.

The good news? So many brands have really perfected the loungewear game and offer items that pull double-duty: They're so cozy, you'll never want to take them off, but they also look so good that you don't have to.

From luxe cashmere sweaters to fleece joggers and velour sets, there are plenty of comfortable clothes on the market suitable for cozying up at home or running errands out on the town.
