2020 dramatically changed our lives and the way we dress. As the world adapted to remote work and more time spent at home, loungewear has become an integral part of the daily routine and a trans-seasonal wardrobe staple worth investing in.
I never gave much thought to loungewear until comfort became a priority in my wardrobe. It's now such a necessary part of my everyday life that I've created a loungewear capsule of comfy clothes that allow me to feel productive and put-together.
The best loungewear has the ability to merge comfort, style, and sustainability. Whether it's for wearing after work, at the weekend, or walking the dog, loungewear has become the ultimate go-to outfit choice when comfort is a top priority.
Plainandsimple has a range of organic cotton loungewear, perfect for transitioning seamlessly from professional video calls to watching Netflix on the couch. They offer a more elevated look than an oversized tracksuit without sacrificing comfort or sustainability.
These affordable sustainable basics are not only ethically produced and designed to last. They are made using just one material—GOTS-certified organic cotton—and zero plastic, meaning all the clothes are 100% biodegradable, fully compostable, and easier to recycle.
Every piece of Plainandsimple loungewear comes with a lifetime guarantee so when it's reached the end of its life with you, it can be sent back for free to be recycled or composted. You'll be rewarded with a discount code on your next order of loungewear basics!
I much prefer when my loungewear looks intentional and well put together. It should be an intentional choice rather than something I've just thrown on to get me out the door. Having the right basics in my capsule wardrobe is what makes this possible.
The Plainandsimple Heavyweight Boxy Organic T-Shirt
The classic tee is a staple in almost every wardrobe. It can be worn pretty much anywhere but as part of a loungewear capsule, it offers the ultimate comfy top of choice. I'm not usually a t-shirt wearer but when it comes to loungewear, having the right tees is an absolute must.
The Plainandsimple Heavyweight T-Shirt has a boxy oversized fit made from organic cotton that has a noticeably thick and luxurious feel. The heavyweight fabric gives it a structured style compared to the average classic tee, making it ideal for a more put together loungewear look.
It's the perfect t-shirt for transitioning from the cold months into the warmer ones, or vice versa. Worn under a fleece or sweatshirt, the heavyweight fabric provides extra warmth and comfort. While in spring and summer, the structured fit offers a smart-casual look that's just as comfortable as it is stylish.
The Plainandsimple Soft French Terry Organic Sweatpants
Sweatpants, joggers, and leggings are all loungewear staples but for me, sweatpants offer the ideal balance of style and comfort when it comes to daily activities. A pair of well-fitted sweatpants makes it possible to transition from working at home to walking the dog without having to think too much about what to wear.
As someone with an hourglass figure, trousers can be a nightmare to shop for. But these Plainandsimple Organic Sweatpants fit like a dream. I followed the size guide and they fit exactly as expected. The internal drawstring waistband makes it easy to cinch the waist without ruining the shape of the sweatpants, a small detail that makes a big difference.
The sweatpants are made from soft loopback organic cotton with a slightly oversized fit through the leg and elasticated cuffs made using biodegradable natural rubber elastic—plus deep pockets! This fit and style offers a balance between comfort and practicality while maintaining a put-together look.
