Why Loungewear Still Matters

Comfort is no longer the enemy of style. With many of us blending home, work, and errands, loungewear should be cozy, confident, and camera-ready. At Tellar, we believe that affordable fabrics and thoughtful fit—matched through our sizing tool—are the key to looking good, feeling good, and reducing returns. Below, explore our best brand picks, styling advice, care tips, and where to dig deeper on Tellar.

 What to Look For (Tips That Apply to Everyone)

  • Fabrics: Opt for cotton blends, modal, Tencel/Lyocell, or breathable bamboo—these fabrics are soft, stretchy, and low-maintenance

  • Fit: Choose relaxed joggers with a slight taper, boxy tops, or oversized sweatshirts—balance comfort and polish.

  • Details: Elevate your set with ribbed trims, contrast stitching, dropped shoulders, or drawstring waists.

  • Neutral Tones: Stick to greys, creams, olives, dusty rose—easy to mix, easy to elevate.

 Women’s Loungewear Picks

  • Texture Pairing: Try ribbed joggers with brushed tee tops, fluffy fleece hoodies, or smooth modal tee.

  • Accessory Game: Think headbands, bun wraps, chunky wool socks—simple extras that round out the aesthetic.

 Fabric Care & Fit Maintenance

  • Wash cold & inside-out: Protects softness and prevents piling—modal and rib fabrics especially benefit.

  • Reshape during drying: Lay joggers flat to dry to retain shape and prevent tightness at the waistband.

  • Refresh with fabric spray: Use fabric-friendly mist instead of harsh detergents to preserve texture.
