1. The Loungewear Set
Firstly, what to wear at home all day 101: the loungewear set that is specifically designed for being lazy.
Whether this consists of tie-dye printed joggers and a matching sweatshirt or a plain sports tracksuit, one thing’s for sure: this option is just as comfy as it is stylish.
2. Leggings and an Oversized Jumper
Likewise, you can’t go wrong with jersey leggings (preferably in black so that they go with everything).
For instance, team yours with an oversized jumper or a snug sweatshirt for a classic loungewear look that’s always a winner.
3. Leggings, Cami and a Chunky Cardigan
Next, are you a leggings lover but want to wear something a little prettier on your top half? In short, consider a lace-trim cami complete with a chunky knitted cardigan.
As a result, this outfit is flirty, feminine and sure to turn the heads of your housemates for all the right reasons.
4. High-Waisted Jogging Bottoms and a Crop Top
Trendsetters who are wondering what to wear at home all day might want to showcase high-waisted neutral joggers and a short or long-sleeved crop top.
After all, it makes sense given that the nineties are making a huge comeback for Spring/Summer 2020. (Millennials, rejoice!)
5. Jersey Flare Trousers and a Boyfriend-Fit T-Shirt
In addition, fellow fashionistas might want to get on board with jersey flare trousers as part of the hippie-inspired movement of SS20.
Personally, we like to pair ours with a boyfriend-fit t-shirt around the house (tucked in or loose depending on what kind of a mood we’re in and how many Tik Toks dances we plan to learn that day).
That said, high-waisted jersey flare trousers also look boss with a crop top, bodysuit or even a regular-fit t-shirt. Did someone say groovy?
6. The Throw-On Lounge Dress
If you’re searching for something that you can just throw on in a hurry, look no further than the lounge dress.
For example, this could be in the form of a relaxed-fit sweatshirt or long cotton t-shirt with a drawstring waist.
Either way, this outfit always looks the most adorable when finished off fluffy slippers or boots.
7. Jersey Shorts and a Cotton Top
Additionally, is the weather getting warmer? Then you might want to choose jersey shorts and a cotton top as your go-to at-home uniform.
If this feels (or looks) a little dull to you, add interest to your aesthetic in an original way.
For example, opt for bright colours and unique prints that express your personality.
8. Jersey All-In-One
Fans of the old-school onesie, listen up — a jumpsuit or playsuit might be the way forward for chic yet cosy style.
Whether you prefer long or short sleeves, just make sure you stick to a jersey version. Fundamentally, nobody wants to feel trussed up in impractical fabrics around the house.
9. Oversized Button-Up Shirt
Moreover, for those days where you want to feel like you’ve made an effort, rock the oversized button-up shirt to channel effortless elegance.
(To clarify, perhaps a cheeky FaceTime with friends, colleagues or a love interest is on the agenda?)
10. Workout Clothes
Finally, if you’re still wondering what to wear at home all day, why not consider your workout clothes? (Especially if you plan to work out at some point anyway.)
For instance, soft vest tops, stretchy yoga pants and even sports bras are functional yet fashionable.
What to Wear at Home All Day: The Takeaway
In summary, because looking and feeling good go hand in hand, the trick is to choose the right loungewear outfit depending on what you’ve got planned for the day.
In other words, there’s no point wearing an oversized button-up shirt if you’re just laid on the couch watching Netflix and chilling (solo). Know what we mean?
Oh, and never forget your fluffy socks. They’re the ultimate way to feel warm and cosy for a day of not doing much.

![FEELING LOVELY IN LILAC. 🤗 [AD - GIFTED] I, like so many others, am over the moon that lockdown restrictions are starting to lift in England and we can shop, eat and drink outdoors again. 🎉 However, fashion-wise, I’m finding it tough to get out of my joggers. Anyone else? 🤣 While I’m still working my way up to jeans, I’ll stick to these lilac lovelies by @femmeluxefinery. Not only are they super comfortable but, if you don’t already know, lilac is going to be a huge colour trend for Spring/Summer 2021. In fact, any kind of pastel colour palette should be prioritised to stand out in style this season. 🌈 #femmeluxe #luxegal #femmeluxefinery](https://www.trendytourist.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
