The name says it all: a party set like no other. While our plans for get-togethers have been put on hold, our loungewear needn’t reflect this. This ensemble is anything but dowdy, it feels decadent, chic and sparks so much joy. While a real investment, not only can this set be worn at home, it’s also the perfect outfit for a day-to-night switch-up, when that’s back on the cards. Pair with your favourite pair of heeled mules and you’ve got a great alternative to your LBD – we know what we’ll be wearing on Christmas day. 

If you’re yet to be acquainted with sustainable-focused fashion brand nu-in, now’s the time.  Thanks to the likes of Hailey Bieber, Emily Ratajowski and Bella Hadid, tracksuits are no longer reserved for exercise and have really come into their own, and this set is no different. Comfortable, cosy and warm, we think this is a must-have set for the winter months, and can easily be worn outdoors for an on-trend athleisure look. We’re obsessed.

We don’t think you can go wrong with this pair of joggers – and in fact, our tester has lived in her pair since she got them, meaning cost per wear is low. The drawstring waist helps to tailor the fit and the high-waisted cut was comfortable, but we’d advise sizing up for a baggier fit. 

Beautifully crafted by a small team in west London, the ethos of Their Nibs is to design “beautiful prints to brighten up the every day”, and this is exactly what its range of pyjamas do. Made from 100 per cent cotton, they are the ideal accompaniment for early nights in front of your favourite boxset or long lazy mornings spent lounging at the weekend. We’d advise sizing up for a more relaxed and oversized fit, and to iron after washing. Thanks to the brand’s gift wrap service, these make for a lovely surprise you can send directly to a friend. Coming in a full range of patterns, there’s something for everyone.   

Need an extra layer of warmth over your PJs? This hoodie is the real deal and the perfect addition to your wardrobe. While it can be worn in the comfort of your home, it is also a real fashion statement when worn out under a blazer or trench coat. Coming in a full range of colours and sizes, this one is for everyone.

Designed with comfort and a flattering silhouette in mind, the shirt is relaxed yet tailored and the trousers are a high-waist, wide leg cut. With signature cuffs, French seams, cotton piping finish and mother of pearl buttons, no detail is spared. Made from 100 per cent cotton, this set is one of the softest we tried and a great alternative to having to wear a two-piece suit to the office. 

For the ultimate in comfy, turn to these knitted trousers. The high-waisted cut was a welcome change to the usual mid-rise and means your midriff will be kept extra warm. The leg-lengthening silhouette of these means they can easily be worn out the house – either by pairing with a white trainer or black chunky boot. Finish the look off with this Asos chunky knit for a co-ordinating fit, it appeared in our round-up of the best women’s cardigans, so you can trust that it’s a great choice.  

Wyse is known for creating less-is-more designs with a twist – these loungers are no different and have been worn by the likes of Holly Willoughby. We love the rainbow detailing and the pockets are an added bonus. Made from 100 per cent cashmere, these are an expensive choice, but we think totally worth saving for. 

M&S is a reliable choice for excellent cashmere, so it should come as no surprise that these joggers were exceptional. Featuring a drawstring waist and pockets, they provide the perfect layer of warmth and are bound to make you feel more relaxed in times of angst.

For an affordable co-ordinating number, turn to this set from Nasty Gal. Oversized in fit, it’s a great choice for lounging around the house. Owing to the textured knit, it’s not as soft as some of the others we tested, but it’s still just as comfortable. Plus, thanks to the design, if you end up on a last minute Zoom call, your co-workers won’t know you’re still in your comfies. 

If you think forking out for a cashmere set is a bit of an extravagant purchase, we think this pair of wide leg trousers will fill the void. With the perfect level of softness and a great leg-lengthening cut, these are a failsafe choice. Wear with an oversized white T-shirt tucked in and a boxy sweatshirt or try pairing with the matching jumper if you want to create a co-ordinating look; just bear in mind it was quite long, so size down.  

Zara’s loungewear game is strong. The stretch-waisted element of these trousers makes these a comfortable addition to your collection. While a relaxed look when worn around the house, this can easily be spruced up for heading outdoors – simply pair with a statement boot and an oversized woollen coat and you’ll be ready for whatever the day throws at you. We loved pairing these with the co-ordinating knitted vest, which has become a wardrobe staple this season.
