Cosy, comfy loungewear is my entire personality right now.
And you know what?
I’m not sorry about it. Not one little bit!
Because it’s cold out and all I want to do is wrap up and stay warm – and if that means wearing cute knit sets and tracksuits everywhere I go, then so be it.
All it takes to take uplevel a tracksuit or lounge set from couch-only status is a few styling hacks.
For a knit set, tuck the front of the top into the pants, leaving a little overhang (they call it the ‘French tuck’).
Slide into some loafers or loafer-mules, add some statement jewellery and oversized sunnies, and you’re set. Instant effortless cool.
For a classic tracksuit, don’t try to fight the sporty vibe – lean in! Pop on some sneakers (leave the uggs at home this time around!), a cool jacket or coat, and (ahem) run a brush through your hair.
The secret to making this look more cool girl and less “I’ve-spent-the-past-24-hours-rotting-on-the-couch” is simple but sleek hair and makeup.
Now you know how to wear ’em, here are the best affordable sets to buy right now – including a knit set that comes in at just $35!
Happy shopping!
