Lounging? Treat yourself to some really great loungewear

I have to confess: I sleep in a pair of yoga pants that I bought between pregnancies and a men’s undershirt. The pants are stretched out, the tees are slim but not tight, and both pieces are super soft.

It’s fine for getting in bed and going to sleep, but it’s not exactly pretty. Or presentable.

The holidays are just around the corner, which raises the odds that you’ll find yourself making coffee for your inlaws in whatever it was that you slept in. Instead of scrambling around trying to get dressed or covering up in a bathrobe that’s older than your marriage, invest in some new lounge wear this fall.

Victoria’s Secret is having a sale — and no, I’m not suggesting that you make eggs in a WonderBra. Skip sexy and opt for cozy, with this great cashmere blend wrap. Available in ten shades, it can be styled six different ways. Or just wrapped around you like a snuggly blanket.

Soft and Sexy Wrap, originally $58, now $39

Layer your snuggly wrap over a pair of soft, stretchy pants; opt for a drawstring or wide elastic waistband for comfort, but don’t go too low waisted — you’re looking for pajamas that can leave the bedroom.

Gap Supersoft Cropped Pants, $34.50

Add a pretty tee, one that covers everything up, and you’re all set. This one, from Old Navy, comes in eight colors and has a sweet lace trim. These tees are on sale now for $2.99 - $4.99.

No matter how cute your lounge wear is, don’t fool yourself into thinking that you can leave the house in it — these are still pajamas, after all. But for those long days when getting dressed just doesn’t seem all that important, treat yourself to something cozy and pretty — and then while away the day curled up on the sofa in your comfiest jammies.
