All it took was a pandemic, several lockdowns, a few pizza nights in front of Netflix and a good dose of laziness to see the emergence of the new trend: loungewear , a style of clothing where comfort is paramount without sacrificing elegance. Discover how loungewear is redefining modern fashion and how to integrate this cozy and chic style into your daily life!
Loungewear Definition: What is it?
Loungewear is a clever mix between athleisure (athletic clothing suitable for everyday use), streetwear (a casual and urban fashion style) and homewear (comfortable clothes for the home). The art of loungewear is to wear your loungewear but in a more chic way to go out .
The golden rule of loungewear: comfort and style
This news should delight fans of cozy outfits: the golden rule of loungewear is to feel comfortable in your clothes , while being stylish . These are outfits that can be worn at home as well as outside, during the day... or at night!
Taking care of yourself is an essential subject today, and this also involves what we wear.
This trend combines well-being and style to fit a modern and relaxed lifestyle. The same clothes you used to wear only at home in front of a Netflix series are now the ones you can wear in the city with class!
How did loungewear come about?
The idea of comfortable clothing to wear at home has always existed, but it has become more widespread in recent years. With more and more people working from home, loungewear has become the ideal option: it is practical and aesthetics . Periods of confinement with the generalization of teleworking have accentuated this trend.
Other factors influenced this development:
- The introduction of soft and quality materials , such as organic cotton, Su pima ® or Tencel™ Lyocell .
- The influence of social media that has helped popularize loungewear by making it not only a comfortable but also stylish fashion choice.
The essential characteristics of loungewear: materials and cuts to favor
As you can see, when we talk about loungewear, we're talking about comfort... And to be comfortable in your clothes, there's nothing better than choosing them with quality materials. Not only do they last longer - and save you from having to buy new ones quickly because of premature wear - but they also reduce your carbon footprint .
At Talc, we have chosen Tencel™ Lyocell , organic cotton and Supima® cotton . These materials pollute less during manufacturing and are softer than synthetic materials. We have also adopted them for their ability to regulate body temperature. These materials help keep the body cool in summer and warm in winter.
When it comes to cuts, opt for loose-fitting clothing that allows for freedom of movement . This also includes wearing comfortable underwear that fits your figure perfectly while providing optimal support. For women, boxer shorts have become very trendy. They offer a stylish and comfortable alternative to traditional underwear. To learn more, read our article: How to choose the right boxer shorts?
