9 Best Loungewear Pieces That Are Comfy Enough For WFH And Cool Enough For Summer

At this point, there’s no point even looking at the forecast—the days are long and HOT. If you’re anything like us, then by mid-afternoon, you’re ready to shed any unnecessary layers and treat yo’self to a popsicle with the kids. Perhaps, that’s why this yoga racerback tank caught our attention. They come in a pack of two (choose from a slew of vibrant colorways), which is a steal when you factor in cost-per-wear. They’re made from a moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool even in 90-degree heat. Our favorite part is the sexy open back—these were made to be worn with a sports bra for a little peekaboo action. Amazon customers can’t stop raving. “I love this tie back style! They’re so versatile – I’ve worn these both to the gym and going out since they look great and are extremely comfortable. Nice, light material, perfect for summer days. I’d wear them as a cover-up to the beach too. I’m definitely ordering more in other colors.” Another customer adds, “Greatest find ever! Fit perfectly, so soft and comfortable, can literally wear with every workout outfit / every pair of leggings. I get compliments every time I wear this and everyone wants to know where to find them.”   

We love a good summer loungewear set that’s made for doing just that—lounging around the house when the kiddos aren’t around (a rarity, we know). Tie-dye lovers rejoice! Get ready to lose your sh*t ‘cuz this ruffled short duo comes in a variety of tie-dye patterns and colors. (Don’t want “in” on the tie-dye action? It comes in a cheetah and star print, too.) Doubling as jammies that can be worn on the back porch while sipping your morning coffee, this matchy-matchy duo is so comfy you’ll never want to take it off. The material is incredibly soft, breathable, and non-irritating. Personally, we love the button-down henley top… it screams not-trying-too-hard, ya know?! Says this Amazon customer, “Oh my goodness!! This pajama set is the best thing I have purchased on Amazon. They are the most comfortable pj’s I have EVER owned. They are so soft on the outside, it’s like a cross between suede and fleece, if that’s even a thing, the inside is like silk. I was worried at first that the fabric wouldn’t breathe and I would get hot, but that wasn’t the case at all! They actually keep you cool! Honestly, they are so luxurious and comfortable, I would wear them all day if I could.”

If you’re obsessed with cashmere hoodies but not looking to spend a fortune, Goodthreads’ longline cardigan is a cozy, affordable alternative. Hallelujah! Made of an acrylic blend, mid-gauge stretch yarn, this fuzzy topper has all the makings of a go-to piece: side pockets, lightweight comfort, and an easy, laid-back silhouette that looks good with just about anything. This is the layering cardi you can wear year-round (think winter days or summer nights) and the type of classic piece you’ll keep for ages. As one reviewer put it, “This is such a versatile piece. It can be worn with jeans and t shirt, or dressed up with a shirt and dress slacks. It’s knee length, slimline and provides a warm layer without a lot of bulk. Have you always craved a cashmere bathrobe, but can’t handle the $$$? This is a great alternative as it has wool content that isn’t itchy.”

If you’ve been searching for sweatpants with pockets that don’t look super…sweatpants-y, these camo print joggers are a worthwhile pick. They’re made of a substantial-weight fabric and feature a drawstring elastic waist, so they’re comfy without looking like you put no effort in–or left the house in your flimsy pajama bottoms. These joggers come in over 30 color and print options (whew!), though we’re partial to the classic-cool vibe of the camouflage print. Almost 2,000 reviewers on Amazon espouse their positive attributes, including one that raved, “holy wow do I love these sweats. They are thick – there’s no seeing through them – and extremely comfortable,” while another said, “They are super soft and true to size. I like that they have nice pockets and drawstrings. Definitely worth the money!”

Made of 91% recycled polyester, Patagonia’s stretchy, breathable romper is a onesie you can feel good in–and feel good about. The super comfy fabric is the same as running shorts, meaning you can wear it around the house, or while running errands, hanging in the backyard, hiking–you name it. Layer it under a jacket or over a lightweight turtleneck in the colder months,  or on its own in warm weather. This jumpsuit’s also wrinkle-resistant, which just adds to its live-in-ability. Need more proof? Just check out the reviews, which include testimonials like, “This could be the most versatile piece you can have in a wardrobe! Reviewers don’t lie when they say you can wear it anywhere. I’ve worn it to a concert with sneakers, date night with heels and to the park with Chacos. It looked perfect in every scenario. The fabric is lightweight, cool and doesn’t wrinkle (perfect for travel), the cross back allows easy in/out for bathroom/dressing and conceals a racer back bra (without showing), the tapered legs have an angled hem which elevates the look a bit and makes your legs look longer!” Well, there you have it.
