A duster cardigan is quite chic to elevate any vibe—whether that's with a coordinating set or other lounge separates.

4. House Shoes
A solid pair of house shoes is a must for that day-to-day life. A fluffy pair is cozy and cute.

Clearly joggers and sweatpants are a must, but knit shorts could also be worth considering as another loungewear alternative.

A knit polo is forward and easy. That perfect pick is also a solid comfy choice if you need to look a bit more dressed up on a Zoom call.
