SIZING GUIDES & BRAND REVIEWS

Quick answer: Loungeable generally runs true to standard UK sizing — but there are real garment-by-garment differences you need to know about before clicking 'add to basket'. Tops tend to be generous; satin styles and bottoms can catch you out if you're between sizes or curvier on the hip.

Right, let me be straight with you — I've had a love-hate relationship with Loungeable over the years. I've ordered their jersey PJ sets and they've been absolutely spot on, worn-in-from-day-one perfection. But I've also received a pair of satin wide-leg trousers that clung to my hips in a way that no loungewear should ever cling to anything. That's the Loungeable sizing story in a nutshell: mostly reliable, occasionally surprising, and very much dependent on which style you're shopping.

So whether you're stocking up on cosy winter sets, gifting a friend something lovely, or treating yourself to a new dressing gown, here's exactly what you need to know.

About Loungeable: What's the Brand Actually Like?

Loungeable is a UK-based brand best known for its pyjama sets, dressing gowns, and casual homewear — the kind of pieces that make staying in feel like an active lifestyle choice. You'll find them stocked at ASOS, their own site loungeable.co.uk, and various other UK retailers. Their collections cover:

  • Jersey and cotton PJ sets (printed and plain)

  • Satin and silky-feel pyjama sets

  • Fleece and sherpa co-ords

  • Dressing gowns and robes

  • Novelty print sets and cute seasonal drops

  • Oversized loungewear separates

They sit in a sweet spot price-wise — not bargain-basement, not a splurge — which is part of why they've become such a staple in British women's wardrobes. The fabrics are genuinely soft and the prints are fun without being try-hard. But because they use non-stretch materials like fleece, satin, and faux fur across a lot of styles, the fit behaves differently from your usual jersey-stretch high street piece. That's where sizing gets interesting.

How Does Loungeable Sizing Generally Run?

The official line from Loungeable is that their garments are designed to be true to size, with the caveat that some styles vary and you should size up or down depending on your preferred coverage. In practice, that rings mostly true — but "true to size" in the context of relaxed-fit loungewear can mean a range of things. Here's how it actually breaks down by garment type.

Jersey & Cotton PJ Tops and Hoodies

This is Loungeable at its most reliable. Jersey tops, revere-collar PJ shirts, and cotton co-ord tops all tend to run true to size, with some styles cutting slightly generously through the shoulders and sleeves. If you're between sizes and you're shopping a top-heavy style, your usual size will work perfectly — you might even find you can size down if you want a neater look.

FIT TIPJersey and cotton tops: order your usual UK size. Broad-shouldered or curvier on top? Stick to your true size for a comfortable, relaxed fit — no need to size up.

Satin & Silky-Style Sets

This is where I'd urge a little more caution. Satin and silky fabrics have little to no stretch, which means they sit against the body differently to jersey. The tops tend to feel fine, but the trousers and shorts can feel snug around the waist and hips, especially if the elastication is firm. If you're fuller-busted or between sizes, I'd go up one. This is exactly the style that caught me out — beautiful fabric, but you don't want to be tugging at the waistband all evening.

FIT TIPSatin styles: if you're between sizes or carry more volume on your hips and bust, size up. The fabric won't give you any wiggle room — literally.

Fleece, Sherpa & Oversized Co-ords

Good news here. Fleece and sherpa styles tend to be cut with a relaxed, oversized intention, and they run true to size or slightly generous — especially in the shoulders and through the body. These are the sets you want to just throw on without overthinking, and they usually deliver on that promise. If anything, you might find you can size down if you want a slightly more fitted silhouette.

FIT TIPFleece and sherpa: your true UK size will give you a comfortable, cosy fit. Size down only if you prefer a more fitted look.

Dressing Gowns & Robes

Dressing gowns at Loungeable tend to be well-proportioned and run true to size. The waist tie gives you flexibility here, so as long as you're ordering your usual size you should be fine. If you're particularly tall or have a longer torso, check the length details before ordering — some styles are shorter than they appear in product shots.

Bottoms: Joggers, Wide-Leg Trousers & PJ Shorts

This is the category where I see the most variation. Waistbands in Loungeable bottoms can feel snug — particularly in the non-stretch styles — and if your hips or waist are your biggest measurement, it's worth going up a size. In jersey and stretch-cotton bottoms you'll generally be fine in your true size, but for woven or satin fabrics, err on the larger side.

FIT TIPBottoms: check the fabric first. Jersey? Your true size. Satin or woven? Consider sizing up, especially if you're hip-heavy.


Size Range & Inclusivity

Loungeable offers a solid size range running from UK 6 through to UK 22–24 depending on the style, with a good spread of plus-size options — particularly through ASOS, which stocks their Curve range. Their plus-size offering has grown noticeably in recent years and, based on customer feedback, the sizing remains consistent with their mainline range. If you're shopping in an extended size, the same garment-type rules apply: jersey is your most reliable bet, satin is the one to watch.

Where to Buy Loungeable

Loungeable is stocked across several retailers, and your choice of where to shop can actually affect the return experience if the fit isn't right — worth factoring in before you order.

  • ASOS — the widest range including Curve sizes, great for returns

  • loungeable.co.uk — the brand's own site, best for full-range access and seasonal drops

  • Various department stores and marketplace sellers

What to Shop at Loungeable: My Stylist Picks

Post Image

If you're new to the brand and wondering where to start, I'd go straight for their jersey PJ sets — they're the most consistently sized and genuinely lovely to wear. The wide-leg jersey trouser sets have a slightly elevated feel without being precious, and the printed revere-collar styles are endlessly giftable. For a cosy winter pick, the sherpa and fleece co-ords are brilliant value.

Avoid the satin styles as your first Loungeable purchase unless you're confident in your measurements — they're beautiful but less forgiving.


If You Love Loungeable — What Else to Shop

Loungeable sits in a solid mid-market space for loungewear and PJs. But if you're after something a little different — whether that's a step up in quality, a different aesthetic, or a more independent find — here's where I'd send you.

High Street Alternatives

  • M&S — Consistently excellent PJs, fantastic size range, and their satin and cotton sets are among the most consistently sized on the high street. My go-to for reliable gifting.

  • Next — Brilliant value for cosy fleece sets and jersey loungewear; runs very true to size and offers an excellent extended size range.

  • The White Company — Their brushed cotton and stripe pyjamas are genuinely beautiful; sizing is accurate and the quality is a noticeable step up from mid-market brands.

  • Hush — Lovely printed cotton PJs with a relaxed, slightly grown-up aesthetic. Runs true to size and the fabrics are soft from wash one.

  • Fat Face — Brilliant for cosy, print-led jersey PJ sets; sizing is generous and consistent, and they have a great organic cotton range.

  • Boden — Their pyjamas are genuinely stylish — not basic — and their sizing is very reliable. A great option if you like something a bit more design-led without the luxury price tag.

  • White Stuff — Relaxed, countryside-cool loungewear and soft cotton PJs; sizing runs slightly generous which suits loungewear perfectly.

  • Monsoon — Their printed satin sets and embellished pyjamas are beautiful and festive; sizing generally runs true, though check individual style notes on satin bottoms.

Two Independent Picks I Love

  • Fable & Eve — A small UK brand doing utterly gorgeous brushed cotton pyjamas in the softest fabrics I've tried in years. Prints are modern and interesting rather than novelty-cute. Sizing is consistent and true.

  • Yawn London — An independent British brand with a focus on long-staple cotton PJs that feel almost luxury at an accessible price. Relaxed, minimal aesthetic — the kind of thing you'd actually want to answer the door in.

Premium Step-Up

  • Chelsea Peers — The go-to for elevated printed satin sets; sizing is true and the quality is noticeably better than high street satin alternatives.

  • Pretty You London — Stylish, well-cut pyjama sets in silk-feel and cotton fabrications; sizes run true and they're brilliant for gifting.

Luxury Investment

  • Desmond & Dempsey — The gold standard of British pyjamas. Hand-painted prints, beautiful tailoring, and sizing that is beautifully precise. Worth every penny for a treat.

  • ASCENO — Cult luxury loungewear with a minimal, editorial aesthetic. Their silk sets are exceptional; sizing runs true and the quality is extraordinary.


Final Verdict: Is Loungeable Worth Buying?

Yes — genuinely. For the price point, Loungeable delivers soft, wear-all-day pieces that hold up well and look far more expensive than they are. The key is knowing the sizing nuances before you shop. Stick to your true UK size in jersey styles, and size up for satin. Check the fabric before you order. And if you want to be absolutely certain? Use Tellar's free sizing tool — it takes two minutes and will save you returns, confusion, and the mild existential crisis of opening a parcel that doesn't fit.
