I don’t know what life has looked like for most of you, but for these past 4+ months, I think it’s safe to say that the majority of the clothing I’m putting on everyday would absolutely fall under the “loungewear” category. Like, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve put on a pair of jeans.
And while I totally miss being able to dress up every now and then to go into the office or go out for a date night (hopefully soon!), I think it’s safe to say that I have also completely gotten used to throwing on my cozies everyday.
When I first began working from home, I realized that I actually did not have a loungewear wardrobe to support this new lifestyle change, so I’ve accumulated a few new, fun items over the past few months that I realized I still had yet to share with you!
Ok, actually, I’m sure I’ve probably shared a couple of them here or there at some point, but just in case, I’m putting them all in here. Because they’re all awesome. And…as with any fashion-related post on here, I’ll apologize ahead of time for my dirty mirror pictures. One of these days I’ll get myself together. Just not today.

Women’s Smocked Waist French Terry Lounge Joggers – Colsie via Target
Ok, listen up. These. Pants. Are. EVERYTHING. Not only are they buttery soft, but the drawstring waistband makes them absolutely perfect for adjusting where you want them to fall on your waist (sometimes I like to wear them higher, sometimes lower). They’re also a perfect length for me (some joggers can wind up being too short for me).
In the photo above, I have them paired with this Aerie Boyfriend Distressed Oversized T-Shirt. I bought the shirt on a whim, despite thinking it looked like nothing special on the models on their website, but I knew I just really wanted an oversized, colored t-shirt. Give it a little front tuck and roll the sleeves, and it’s perfection!
I loved the green color so much I ended up purchasing it again in white and maroon, also seen here…
I’ve noticed that they don’t have a TON of colors/sizes left on these (sigh), but a couple of other good options would be their Aerie Boyfriend Voop Oversized T-Shirt and the Aerie Boyfriend Distressed V-Neck Oversized T-Shirt.
Pants: wearing in black, size medium
T-Shirt: size down! I’m wearing in green, size small

These were actually the frontrunner for my favorite pair of joggers until I recently purchased the Colsie pair mentioned above. They’re both equally loved, and both are super cozy and soft. These joggers are a little bit thinner of a material, and the waistband is nice and roomy.
I was able to purchase them true-to-size without feeling too snug (since I always prefer my cozy/jogger pants to fit on the looser side).
Another honorable mention in the fleece/joggers category is these Women’s Beautifully Soft Fleece Lounge Jogger Pants via Stars Above (Target). They’re a little heavy for summer, but I own the mint green color and they’re SO COMFY!
In these photos, I paired the joggers with one of my all-time FAVORITE workout/lounge tanks, the C9 Champion Women’s Active Tank.
Gahhh, that freakin mirror…
They use to sell these tanks at Target, but then they went and got rid of their C9 line by Champion and I thought they were gone forever. But then my friend Tal ended up finding them on Amazon, so I was thrilled to see they’re alive! I own this tank in 5 colors, which you’ve likely seen on here before, and I love sizing up so they have more of a loose fit.
Sometimes I give them a little side knot or a front tuck, and they’re good to go.
Pants: wearing in Charcoal, size medium
Tanks: size up for a looser fit, I’m wearing size medium

Aerie Sunday Soft Quarter Zip Sweatshirt
Ohhhh, I just love everything about this sweatshirt. It’s slightly oversized, without looking sloppy, and the quarter zip really gives it a nice touch. It doesn’t look like they have many sizes left in this color anymore, but they have a bunch in the camo print, which I LOVE.
I’m also wearing the quarter zip with my favorite Threads 4 Thought Monica Leggings, which I received via Stitch Fix back in September.
(I’ll be ordering in a small if/when I can get my hands on them).
I’ve also been eyeing these Women’s Slim Fit Tank Top via A New Day (Target). Again, a couple of my neighbors also have them (can you tell we love our Target finds?!) and they’ve recommended sizing UP on these, since they’re very form-fitting. I’m likely going to try them out in a large, and I’ll report back.
I already told you about this sweatshirt is from American Eagle, but I’m gonna mention it again because I love it just as much as my quarter zip.
I’m also loving the look of this AE Fleece Oversized Vintage Crew Neck Sweatshirt…if I see a good sale come up, I’m all over that.
Finally, a couple of bralettes I’ve really come to love are the Jezebel Women’s Racerback Lace Bralette (via Target) and this Aerie Palm Lace Halter Padded Bralette.
I wear a size medium in both bralettes.
As someone who’s a bit (read, a lot) smaller on top, I’ve really gotten over the whole gaping issue that seems to happen with most of my regular bras. I never run into that issue with these bralettes though, and they just fit SO well. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back…?!

Any loungewear that YOU have been loving lately?? Feel free to link them below in the comments! I’m always on the hunt for great cozy clothes now. : )
Lauren says
Hi Courtney! I’m curious what size you purchased in the Colsie joggers. I think we have very similar body types, based on what you’ve shared in the past and I used to always buy Mediums in everything, but I feel like sizing has changed over the past few years and now find myself buying more Smalls!
Courtney says
Hey Lauren! I bought a medium and they’re nice and loose. I probably could have gotten away with a small, but this way I can toss them in the dryer and not have to worry ;)
Alaina says
I live in my joggers from LL Bean! That, with a t-shirt, was my go-to work outfit.

I’ve had them since October of 2018 and they haven’t faded or pilled or anything. :-)

Hello! I’ve tried the Target slim fit tank tops, and they are my go-to staple. I am a 36C with a strong upper body, and have them in size Medium – they fit great!
Courtney says
Hey Laura! I actually did end up buying two of them and I love them!!
