Leggings: Because pants are overrated (and uncomfortable!)
Remember the days when squeezing into uncomfortable, restrictive clothing was considered fashionable? Thankfully, those days are over! The new trend sweeping the nation is all about prioritizing comfort and indulging in comfy-luxe loungewear that feels as good as it looks. Whether you’re a busy stay-at-home mom, a trendy teen, or even a guy who appreciates a relaxed vibe, this movement is for you!
Why Comfy-Luxe Loungewear is Taking Over:
- Comfort is King (and Queen!): Let’s face it, life is stressful enough. Why add to it with clothes that dig, pinch, and restrict your movement? Comfy-luxe loungewear prioritizes soft, breathable fabrics that move with you, allowing you to relax, work from home, or run errands in ultimate comfort.
- Looking Good, Feeling Great: Who says comfy can’t be stylish? Today’s loungewear comes in a variety of chic designs, from sleek joggers and matching sets to cozy oversized sweaters and flowy dresses. You can easily elevate your look with accessories and layering, proving that comfort and style can go hand-in-hand.
- Versatility is Key: Gone are the days when loungewear was reserved for the couch. This new wave of comfy-luxe pieces is designed to be versatile enough for everything from errands and workouts to casual outings and even work-from-home meetings (thanks, Zoom!).
Must-Have Pieces for Your Comfy-Luxe Wardrobe:
- HeyNuts Pure&Plain 7/8 Highwaisted Leggings: These leggings are my personal game-changer! And an absolute steel on Amazon for only $29. They boast a buttery-soft feel, a flattering high-waisted fit, and handy inner pockets – all for a budget-friendly price. Plus, the waistband solves the age-old problem of leggings rolling down, no matter your body type. I found these leggings when searching LikeToKnow It App. Such a great app for finding the latest styles. Check it Out!
- Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Pants: Oprah loves them, and for good reason! These joggers are made from luxuriously soft, sustainable bamboo fabric that’s breathable, temperature-regulating, and odor-resistant. Perfect for lounging in pure bliss. But they come with a heavy price tag of $164!!! Ouch. So if you get these, you better hope they are the best things ever!
- Athleta COASTER LUXE JOGGER: If you’re looking for a jogger with a touch of athleisure style, Athleta’s COASTER LUXE JOGGER is a winner. These joggers feature a relaxed fit, moisture-wicking fabric, and hidden pockets, making them ideal for workouts, errands, or simply chilling at home. I really don’t think the price is that bad at $79 and the Dark Lapis Blue color just makes me happy. It’s such a vibrant blue and reminds me of the beach. Check them out here!
- Vuori Daily Legging: So, I discovered this brand when I did StitchFix (are y’all familiar with this company that offers specific clothing styles made for you). Anyway, I received these leggings in one of my boxes and while the price had me hesitating for a bit, I quickly got over it after wearing them one Saturday afternoon while running from soccer game to soccer game. Not only did I receive a lot of compliments and was the envy of fellow soccer moms, but they were just ridiculously comfortable. So for the active trendsetter, Vuori’s Daily Legging is a must-have. These leggings are made from their signature, performance-driven fabric that’s both comfortable and supportive, perfect for yoga, running, or hitting the gym. Again the price is a bit high at $89 but I can guarantee you will want to live in them!
- Spacedye At Your Leisure High Waisted Midi Legging: If you’re looking for a soft, comfortable, and flattering midi legging that you can wear for various activities, the Beyond Yoga Spacedye At Your Leisure High Waisted Legging is definitely worth considering. However, the price point might be a deterrent for some, and the v-shaped waistband design might not be for everyone. Ultimately, the decision comes down to your personal preferences and budget. At $85, it’s on the pricier side compared to some other brands.
- Rhoback Tempo Performance Jogger: Guys, don’t feel left out! Rhoback’s Tempo Performance Jogger offers a comfortable, stylish option for the active man and women. These joggers are made from sweat-wicking fabric and feature a relaxed fit, perfect for workouts, lounging, or running errands. These will run you ~$94. I have not personally tried these but I love the company and I bought a few of their shirts for my hubby last year. They have held up nicely.
- CALIA Women’s Inspire High Rise No Pocket 7/8 Legging: These are a nice quality and comfortable. Can pick up a pair at Dick’s for $88.
