The Lockdown Loungewear Edit

Over the past few months, we have experienced an unprecedented shift in our way of life due to the pandemic. Whether it’s our work situation, homeschooling our children, looking after relatives or neighbours, the pandemic has created far more questions than answers for many of us.

A few months ago, none of us would have imagined a world where hugging a close friend or family member would feel like a luxury from a past life. But we are somehow adjusting to our new normal. Despite all the worry we all seem to be embracing the opportunity to spend time with loved ones and have a new found love of casual, comfy vibes like never before. 

Loungewear is the epitome of casual comfort, and with more of us realising the true value. There are chic and comfy options in all your favourite fabrics and at every price point. There is plenty of luxurious loungewear, practical pajamas, and other combinations that prioritise comfort without losing sight of style. So here are some loungewear sets you will love wearing around the house and also while you have an afternoon snooze. 

Ultra stretch chic lounge set? Yes, please. That's exactly what we need for those lazy days going from your bed, to the couch, to the kitchen. Featuring a contrast stripe design with a 'Cute But Devilish Inside' slogan top with slim fitting bottoms really adds some fun to the cute ensemble. 

These joggers come in a flattering slim-fit, pockets, but have a stretchy elasticated waistband meaning you'll be able to slouch and lounge all you want without feeling constricted. They're so chic as well that you could definitely get away with wearing them to pop out to the shops. This Contrast 'Cute But Delivish Inside' Slogan Loungewear Sett is available in black, pink or grey and can be paired perfectly with some bright white trainers.

For comfort yet ready to pop to the school for supplies these navy cuffed joggers are your best bet.  These ones seem high waisted, super comfy and the have really deep pockets for my phone. I have lost my phone way too many time to skimp on pockets. These super comfy joggers are available in a range of size and in Charcoal, Black, Peach and Grey -  and are perfect for you to go from the sofa to the kitchen and even to the shops. You could try and pair this with a cream jumper, strappy vest or a slogan tee - you can't go wrong. 

These comfy yet chic joggers are perfect for everything from a socially distanced walk in the park, tiktoking (don't you even try and say you don't have it downloaded on your phone), to day-long movie marathons with your family. They are high waisted, soft as ever and with the added detail of pockets they will make you look and feel a little more put together. I actually received these in a smaller size, but they are a perfect fit!!

A luxury can still be achieve with a budget! This Black Chevron Print Zip Up Loungewear Set is chic and oh so comfortable that will, when we are all free again, will slip into my daily life. Featuring a chevron print pattern in a zip through hoodie with matching cuffed joggers, a perfect match. They are available in three different colours; wine, khaki and black to suit to tastes and styles. Personally I love pairing this lounge set with some fresh white trainers and a strappy white vest for the ultimate lockdown look. The joggers fit really well, however the zip up hoodie is oversized and makes my shoulders look like I am Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - but still super comfy. 

Luxury loungewear, tracksuits and active wear have definitely become more and more in demand, which is no surprise. But comfort is key during lockdown. Not only are we housebound and embracing this time to be comfortable, but many of us also have a new perspective, more time to spare and a greater focus on our mind, body and soul. These picks from Femme Luxe Refinery are clothes that you can be comfortable in and that are functional regardless of whether you are working out, relaxing at home or popping to the shops.
