LOUNGE AROUND

From joggers and hoodies to cardigans and sweaters, Rebecca Tay presents five loungewear styles you'll want to cosy up in this fall — and wear out and about.

TAUPE-SYTURVY

We can't seem to let go of our obsession with the '90s, so why not embrace it with Tna's polar fleece (very '90s), half-zip (so, so '90s), kangaroo-pocket, cropped hoodie (seriously?). Made from recycled polyester, it's warm and cuddly, and you can cinch the waist in or leave it loose; both options look great and oh so cool over sweatpants worn high or a great pair of mom jeans (again with the '90s references).

GREEN DAY

If you're the type of person that wears shorts and tank tops at home all year round (thanks, no doubt, to very effective central heating), the Sanzo short and Sami cropped sweater, both made from 100 per cent organic cotton, are for you. They're cute, in a California sorority girl kind of way, but also comfy, thanks to an elastic drawstring waist on the shorts and a relaxed sleeve and slouchy body on the sweater. Just be sure to swap out the shorts for jeans or sweats before you head out into the cold.

BRILLIANT IN BLACK

Pure Balanxed is the Toronto-based brand founded on the idea that basics should still be beautiful; they are, after all, the building blocks for effortless style. Each piece is made from more sustainable materials such as bamboo and features an “affirmation tag” — anything from a simple X to phrases such as “I am worthy” or “Be here now.” They're a reminder to stop, look down, read the words and breathe — something we especially love right now.

TEE TIME

Everlane has long been one of our go-to brands for quality basics that don't break the bank — styles like this cashmere tee, which comes in nine colours (Heathered Blood Orange is the hue shown here) and has an easy, relaxed fit. It's the ideal piece for a day spent on video calls and running errands, as it looks polished on camera but is comfy to boot.

SALT & PEPPER

We all know Roots for its iconic beaver logo and brown leather wallets and bags, but its loungewear doesn't fall too far behind. Whether you opt for a logo sweatshirt or this cool Ormont pullover hoodie and sweatpant set, you know you've got a couple of classics on your hands — pieces you'll be wearing when these crazy times we're living in are but a distant memory.
