"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There once was a time when you’d come home from work, change out of your office attire, and slip into something more comfortable to lounge in. Back then, “loungewear” translated to baggy sweatpants and old graphic T-shirts. Now loungewear is a category all its own, consisting of stylish separates and sets that are essentially elevated pajamas that you can wear almost anywhere—of course, depending on how you style them. In a post-pandemic world, comfort is no longer an afterthought and has secured its rightful position as a must-have across both women’s and men’s wardrobes.

Whether opting for matching sets, tracksuits, sweatsuits, or even a super-comfy dress, the best loungewear for women stays at the intersection of cute and cozy. Here, we've curated some of the best women's loungewear sets and separates to upgrade your current collection.

Women's Bamboo Joggers

Just with one touch you'll see why Oprah chose these joggers as one of her Favorite Things. They are irresistibly soft. Made with 70 percent bamboo viscose, the fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, ensuring extra comfort. Practicalities like coziness aside, these joggers have such a stylish silhouette, you can wear them pretty much anywhere. Their flattering fit and phone-friendly side pockets just about guarantee these as your all-season wardrobe staple. Why not go the whole way and pair with the coordinating ultra-soft pullover?

AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pant

It’s true that Spanx isn’t exactly known for roomy clothing—after all, it’s a shapewear brand best known for smoothing problem areas —but trust us, you do not want to overlook this matching sweatsuit. The bottoms are almost silky to the touch and incredibly lightweight. They’re designed with four-way stretch for maximal comfort and mobility and hit mid-rise, which is a bonus for those of us who don’t love a waistline that hits at the ribs. It’s the elevated lounge pant you’ve been dreaming of, and it comes in black, navy, hunter green, burgundy red, and burnt orange.

Spanx's AirEssentials pullover sweater and matching pant set made it on Oprah's Favorite Things list last year: "When I tell you this set feels light as air, I’m not kidding. It’s my new leisure suit. The perfectly loose-and-lightweight fabric is like buttah!”

Currently available in sizes XS to 3X, and in regular, petite, and tall sizes.

Sherpa Dorothea Plus White Sweatshirt & Pant Set

How can your matching loungewear set get comfier? Opting for a plush sherpa material that's perfect for chilly nights. This cozy set comes in white, green, lavender, and burgundy, as well as sizes XS to XL and XL to 4X.

Oversize Sweater-Knit Robe for Women

We're really into this luxe-looking sweater-knit lounge set from Old Navy that comes in this pretty beige, gray, or dark orange. Complete the full look with the coordinating V-neck, square-back tank ($19.99) and wide-leg lounge pants ($34.99). All three pieces run from sizes XS to 4X.

Adicolor Neuclassics Track Pants

As seasoned tracksuit lovers, we can't believe we're giving away our secrets. Adidas tracksuits look cool and timeless at the same time. Pair these black-and-white flare pants with the matching subtly striped tee for the full effect. Available in sizes 2XS to 2XL.

Relax Pants Set in Conifer Green

If you treat yourself to any elevated basic on this list, this long-sleeved crewneck sweatshirt and coordinating pant set are the quintessential loungewear outfit. Each solid set includes a crewneck with ribbed cuffs and part-modal, part-spandex wide-leg pants. While ideal for vegging out on the couch or a chill work-from-home ensemble, the sleek set can also be worn out of the house should you need to run an errand or grab a coffee. Just add sneakers, and a duster coat and scarf for chillier outings. Available in sizes XXS to XXL.

Fine-Knit Cardigan and Flared Pants

This dreamy white matching loungewear set also comes in beige and runs from sizes XS to XXL. If you're between sizes, you're in luck—they are sold as separates. The flare pants and matching cardigan are each $37.99.

Cashmino Jogger Pant

The most luxurious upgrade to your sweatpants? Cashmere, of course. These cozy chic joggers are made from a merino and cashmere blend for optimal warmth. If you're up for it, you can also pair them with a matching tunic hoodie. They come in this pretty beige or navy, and are available in sizes XXS to XXL.

Scuba Oversize Funnel-Neck Full Zip

Lulu's new loungewear sets are as well-made as they are stylish. Take this menswear-inspired, oversized zip-up scuba knit that comes in black, white, teal, and our favorite trending color, brown. You can buy it in sizes XS to XL.

Pair with the matching espresso Utilitech relaxed wide-leg pants ($148), which run from sizes 0 to 14.

Soft Longe Long-Sleeved Dress

Social media has been raving about these lounge dresses, and for good reason. There are mini and maxi versions, long-sleeved and sleeveless, but considering autumn is upon us and winter’s on its way, we’d recommend treating yourself to this slinky slip that’s floor-length and has sleeves for optimal comfort and warmth. It will accentuate you in all the right places and is versatile, so you can slip into a pair of heels for dinner out with friends or keep things casual with a pair of slippers for a date night in, watching movies with your partner. Available in sizes XXS to 4X.
