Let’s face it, the past year has seen our wardrobes being dominated by loungewear, and with good reason. But here’s how your lounge pieces can be a part of your casual wardrobe in five easy ways!
Having spent a majority of our time at home for more than a year was bound to change up our lifestyle. Enter lots of skincare and the comfiest lounge pieces to take us through work-from-home Mondays and lazy Sundays. While you may not ever want to leave the comfort of your sweatpants to head out, we’re here with five reasons, you may not have to.
1. Get Sharp
Tip #1: Add a tailored touch. Pair your joggers, for instance, with a T-shirt and layer with a sharp, tailored blazer. The structure of the blazer will balance the baggy silhouette of the joggers effortlessly. Try to stick to a similar colour palette to pull the look together and finish with sleek accessories.
2. Casual Tales
Tip #2: Pair casual with lounge. Balance your versatile, relaxed shirt with a casual staple, which can be as easy as a pair of denim. Jeans can make just about any outfit lazy to put together easily. Make sure to add finishing touches like a belt, some statement jewellery and dressy shoes.

3. Lounge To Layered
Tip #3: Layer it up to add interest. If you have solid-coloured lounge pieces, add drama with layers that have interesting colours or prints. A quirky layer brings a sense of style and makes you look like you dressed up, which is all you need to make your loungewear brunch-worthy.

4. Ethnic Yet Easy
Tip #4: Give it an ethnic twist! Mix and match your lounge pieces with ethnic ones for an unexpected touch of style. Your kaftan can double up as a tunic when paired with voluminous palazzos. Add ethnic accessories for a celebratory vibe and you’re good to go!

5. Set Me Up
Tip #5: Go all out! Embrace your love for lounge by pairing your set together with a couple of tweaks. Tuck your lounge top in for a sleek look and add a belt. This will give your lounge set the look of a well put together co-ord set of sorts. Keep your other accessories to the minimal and in the neutral space to make sure the outfit is well-balanced.
