Snuggly knits

Cute knitwear is always dreamy to snuggle up in during the winter months, and the best knits are those that feel like a giant hug. Le Kasha’s ‘Cotai’ cardigan from our NET SUSTAIN edit exudes laid-back luxury. Knitted from sumptuously soft, certified-organic cashmere, with a funnel collar and belted waist, it will look chic styled with cashmere trackpants, a cap and wool coat for festive strolls. Elsewhere, La Ligne’s ‘Hamish’ sweater – a NET-A-PORTER exclusive – is spun from a blend of wool and cashmere and comes in trending argyle, while Loewe’s version is embroidered with a menagerie of cats inspired by artist Louis Wain’s famous ceramics. Both can be quickly dressed up with gold hoops for any impromptu celebratory occasion.

Slogan tees

Is there anything cooler than a slogan tee? Whether printed with collegiate badges, vintage band art or a tongue-in-cheek phrase, it’s one of those pieces you’ll wear again and again until it’s threadbare. Mother’s ‘The Boxy Goodie Goodie’ comes in bright yellow cotton jersey and nods to vintage Americana, while Sporty & Rich’s preppy style features the brand’s varsity-style logo. Then there’s Chloé’s flamingo T-shirt from our NET SUSTAIN edit, which is crafted from certified organic cotton that’ll only get softer with wear.

Perfect pajamas

When it comes to the ultimate feel-good factor, there’s a lot to love about pajamas that bridge the gap between fashion and function. Skims gray pair are as chic as they are comfortable and come crafted in irresistibly soft jersey. Meanwhile, Olivia von Halle’s ‘Lila’ silk-satin set, which is decorated with a beautiful geometric fishnet print, is one you could definitely wear out with a pair of heels, too. Alternatively, stick to classic styles that will complement calming meditations or your nightly wind-down routine, such as Sporty & Rich’s striped pair. Made from crisp cotton poplin, they come in a relaxed fit with the brand’s signature crest embroidered on the chest.

Luxe sets

All about no-fuss threads? The ease of a matching set continues to strike joy in the hearts of loungewear enthusiasts everywhere – especially when the comfy co-ords are luxe enough for you to pop out for a coffee without garnering a second glance. Guest In Residence’s chic cable-knit wool and cashmere-blend cardigan and wide-leg pants come in a timeless taupe shade – just be mindful when consuming chocolate and red wine on a relaxing evening in. Alternatively, consider The Elder Statesman’s ‘Flow’ cashmere turtleneck and midi skirt, perfect if you’re hosting an intimate lunch at home with friends.

Cozy details

It’s often the small finishing details that make lounging in style more enjoyable. Slide Gucci’s cozy slippers onto tired feet, or wear Aeyde’s shearling-lined ‘Jasper’ loafers with leggings and an oversized knit. Light Loewe Perfumes ‘Tomato Leaves’ candle for a fresh and rejuvenating scent, then, after it’s finished flickering, you can reuse the sleek pot for makeup brushes or dried blooms. Finally, pop on a pair of Johnstons of Elgin’s soft ribbed cashmere socks before curling up on the sofa with the matching hot water bottle and a good book.
