How to Look Cute When You’re Just Lounging Around

Whether you’re working at home or relaxing on weekends, you can still look good — even when no one’s looking.  Just for you…your true self…body, mind and soul…to be comfortable and beautiful.  So I’m going to share with you my ideas on how to look cute when you’re just lounging around.  Age doesn’t matter.

Since I’ve been working at home writing a fashion blog, I don’t need to get dressed for work anymore.  I’m around the house a lot.  And, of course, I just want to be comfortable.  It’s time to dress down.

Yet I still like to play with colors, scarves are my signature piece, and I like to add a cool piece of jewelry or more.  As always, I don’t like to wear the same thing twice; I like to create endless combinations of what I have.  Yet I have some favorite combos, such as a tunic with skinnies or a maxi with a t-shirt.  And the best thing is:  I love my jeans.

What do you wear when you’re just hanging around the house?  Do you wear sweats or jeans and a tee?  Are you tired of the same old thing and feel like you’re ready for some new inspiration?  Do you want to look great while you lounge in comfort?

Well then, let’s explore:

How to Look Cute When You’re Just Lounging Around

Some components of lounge-around style are:

• a jersey camisole
• lacy camisoles in pretty colors
• bra tops
• a knit dress or t-shirt dress
• a kimono
• a shawl-collar, wrap or other cozy cardigan
• a cashmere robe
• harem pants
• leggings
• footless tights
• a fringed knitted scarf
• a shawl
• thick socks
• slipper socks
• lounge pants, drawstring pants or jogger pants

Modern Styles Give Sweatpants an Upgrade

There are lots of new styles in sweatpants nowadays.  For instance, skinny sweatpants made of thinner materials and joggers of all sorts. Ultimately, what could be more comfy than a hoodie with sweatpants?  But it can look a whole lot better in modern styles.

Beautifying Bed-Head

And, of course, on a lazy day, you may want to put your hair in a messy up-do or braid it or add a headband.

Layering for Exercise-to-Lounging at Home 

You might want to do some exercise during your day at home. Layering a hoodie and a tank top or tee with yoga pants would work for that.  Or perhaps you could wear an ivory burnout tunic tee tied in a knot at the side with a black sports bra and black yoga pants.

Lounging to Errands

Sometimes you might want the flexibility of running out and doing an errand or two.  You may go out somewhere by neatening up your sweatpants with a matte jersey t-shirt and sneakers to match the pants. Then try adding a delicate pendant and a chunky bracelet to match the tank or tee.  A velour hoodie pant set, or a t-shirt dress would also work.
