here's to loungewear

Yesterday I discovered a particular area of fashion that excited me greatly - loungewear. Now of course loungewear is no new phenomenon, rather I had just never considered that what I do may fall into this particular category. But guess what? It does! And I must say, it is a relief to be classified. It was a sort of 'a-ha' moment, and one that was greatly needed.

Now the only problem with this whole scenario is that I don't like the term 'loungewear' very much. For me it congers up all sorts of nasty images of daggy track-pants and velor hoodies. Not my thing. As you may have discovered from my previous posts, I like pretty things. Girly things. So, in the spirit of finding some pretty loungewear to inspire me, I did a bit of trawling.

Here's what I found...

I love the simplicity and pureness of these simple leggings.
They are by Australian lounge and sleepwear label Deshabille,
who do some gorgeous feminine knitted loungewear.

I also discovered another loungewear label called Lounge Lover
and have fallen in love with its simple, feminine aesthetic.
Run by Belgian-born designer Sylvie Gabriel, Lounge Lover has a lovely lifestyle focus behind the brand and this ease and comfort translates beautifully into the feminine, chic garments.

So here's to loungewear!
Someone pass me a cashmere cardie and a cup of tea!
