Do you remember when you wished for the days where you could lay around in your loungewear and even go to work in your comfiest PJ sets?
Your wish has finally been granted in the most twisted way possible: a worldwide pandemic!
The world has come to halt, but the work from home space is continuing to do the good work. The bright side of this lockdown is that our Pajamas have become our Quarantine uniforms. Too much comfort can sometimes also lead to lethargy, making you feel discouraged and demotivated. This is why you need bid adieu to your worn our t-shirts and old shorts and step up your PJ game this quarantine.
Check out these 5 comfortable yet appealing loungewear options that will keep you presentable and motivated throughout the day while practicing a bit of meditation.
1. Satin sets
One thing that you must not compromise when it comes to Pajamas is the material or the fabric. Silk and Satin are your best bet when it comes to comfortable loungewear. The best part about silk is that it looks rich, classy, chic, and fashionable without even trying too hard. The fabric also feels like butter against the skin, extremely smooth and sheen. The dreamy silk or satin loungewears make you look sensuous enough to enjoy a second honeymoon sitting right at home in this quarantine.
Silk and satin nightwear sets are your fail-proof go to Pajama options for looking put together. Many popular brands like Prada, Givenchy, Victoria Secret, and Gucci have now even launched their pantsuit resembling silk jammies that can be worn outside the house when styled well. From runways to airport looks to celeb parties, the fashion divas are rocking these satin sets everywhere possible.
2. Funky co-ord set
There’s something about a cute and funky co-ord loungewear sets that can instantly uplift your mood and make the whole vibe more vivacious. These are just perfect for watching movies on the terrace in your brand new Samsung outdoor TV. There are tons of charming pieces of PJs available today that come with a funny quote written on the t-shirt, printed graphics, pictures of your favorite shows and cartoons, and more. These matching co-ord sets not only look delightful it makes you nostalgic to when you were kids and wore colorful PJ sets to bed.
You can choose the level of punk you want to add to your Pajamas with the design. The best thing about the co-ord set is that you can mix and match the top and the bottom with other designs and throw them together as a completely new outfit.
3. Print on Print
Stripes, checks, polka dots, and zigzags never go out of style when it comes to clothes. You can either go for a co-ord set of similar print, printed t-shirt and plain pajama, and even a plain t-shirt along with a printed pajama of your choice. The fashion police is not too strict when it comes to the permutation and combination of prints and colors in nightwear. These classic prints will gel with your vibe irrespective of the color, the print, and even the size to an extent.
Oversized pajamas are way more comfortable than your actual size of pajamas. It is better to stick to lighter and brighter shades of yellow, orange, light blue, pink, and green during summers to feel more effervescent. Just dawn these print beauties and watch some good travel movies till the time you can plan your next trip.
4. Muscle Tee and Athleisure Shorts
In the world full of tank tops, be a muscle tee. Muscle tees are nothing but sleeveless t-shirts just with a smaller neck and a bigger armhole. These tees are mostly worn as athleisure during workouts at home, workouts at gym and outdoor sports. Since our whole routine of eating, sleeping, working out and working is now circumscribed inside the house, you can just throw in a good pair of muscle tee with an athleisure shot and you are good to go.
Wearing athleisure as loungewear will automatically pump you up for working or working out. These muscle tees are super light and super airy, which let’s face it, is a very important thing to consider during the peak summer season. Muscles tees are available in every color possible today in the market. However, owning a few basic colors like grey, blue, black, and white will keep you covered for almost everything. You can transform the look very easily from lazy to stylish for your Facetime date. All you have to do is put on a nice pair of jeans, denim shorts, or a skirt with the muscle tee and your suave quotient will double within minutes. Leave all these work talk, these tee and shorts sets are perfect for binge watching your favorite web series and spend some good time.
5. Kaftans
If you have started following Kareena Kapoor on Instagram, you are probably going gaga about all the beautiful Kaftan that she owns (we definitely are). This Middle-East originated pair of clothing is just an ankle-length garment with large and flowy sleeves. Kaftans are mostly worn by women in the beach as a cover on over the swimwear, but can easily be a great alternative for loungewear.
This oversized garment makes you feel like you are wearing something but wearing anything. You can play around with the fabric, the design, the color, and even the length of the Kaftan as per your style. It falls on your body in the most flattering manner making you look stylish and tasteful. This easy-breezy loungewear option can be a great alternative for your good old pajamas and will give your loungewear collection a little modish twist. This summer-ready nightwear will add the much-needed oomph in your comfortable clothing. Bars are yet to open but that doesn’t mean you can’t party, wear a beautiful Kaftan and become the cocktologist at your own house and surprise everyone by mixing some wonderful cocktails.
These are some of our favorite nightwear options that will instantly step up your Pajama game during Quarantine. There are however a few things you should keep in mind for your lounge wears, especially during the summer.
Always make sure you sleep with a clean pair of pajamas and not a dirty or sweaty pair in the night. Pick out the fabric as per your skin type, if you tend to sweat a lot, pick materials that will be able to absorb the sweat and will keep you feeling comfortable and cool throughout. Lastly, pick the PJs that are versatile enough to let you attend a zoom video call for work and take a nap in the next instance.
