Loungewear, Homewear, Sleepwear: What’s the Difference?
With the rise of remote work and time spent at home, indoor clothing has become a wardrobe essential — for both women and men. But between loungewear, homewear, and sleepwear, it’s easy to get confused. While all three share the same goal — comfort — they differ in style, key pieces, materials, and the times they’re worn: daytime or nighttime.
Here’s a breakdown of these cozy fashion staples, and tips to help you choose according to your needs and mood.
Loungewear: Relaxed and Chic, Even at Home
What is loungewear?
Loungewear refers to indoor clothing designed for relaxing in style. It’s what you wear to read, work from home, binge a series, or host friends — without needing to dress up in a formal shirt or dress.
Loungewear essentials:
-
Flowy cotton or knit pants
-
Oversized sweaters, cardigans, or classic sweatshirts
-
Well-cut t-shirts, short or long-sleeved
-
Stylish slippers (like Angarde’s 😉)
These casual yet stylish clothes allow you to create a trendy, comfortable, and versatile look.
Product suggestion:
Our collection of recycled cotton t-shirts in various colors (white, green, navy, pink, red…) pairs perfectly with our suede leather or corduroy slippers and Tencel pants — the perfect combo for a polished, elegant lounge look.
Homewear: Comfort and Practicality for Everyday Life
What is homewear?
Homewear includes all the clothes made for daily activities at home — cleaning, cooking, working remotely, or caring for the kids. The key word: practicality.
Homewear essentials:
-
Soft joggers or organic cotton pants
-
Basic tops, long-sleeved tees, and sweatshirts
-
Easy-to-wear two-piece pyjamas
-
Accessories: thick socks and cozy slippers
Women’s homewear comes in various sizes and colors (from neutrals to classic black, beige, or soft pink) to suit all styles.
Our favorite:
Our striped Tencel shorts are perfect for lounging at home or doing a quick yoga session. Inspired by boxing shorts, they’re comfy, stylish, and a must-have in your casual wardrobe.
Sleepwear: For Peaceful and Stylish Nights
What is sleepwear?
Sleepwear refers to nightwear — pyjamas, nightgowns, night shorts, satin sets, etc. The goal: sleep in comfort, free from itchy seams or irritation.
Sleepwear essentials:
-
Pyjamas made from organic cotton or silky satin
-
Sexy lace or fluid silk nighties
-
Night shorts, soft tanks or t-shirts
-
Short or long nightgowns
-
Flowy robes and coordinated sets
Women’s sleepwear also varies in style: some prefer sexy satin sets, others go for basic organic cotton pyjamas — but all want comfort.
Product suggestion:
Our responsibly-made collections use organic or recycled cotton for softness and skin-friendliness — ideal for restful nights. For instance, try our striped organic cotton pyjama set (blue or beige), with a slightly open-collar shirt and ultra-comfy straight-leg pants. Pair with lightweight slippers for slow, soft mornings.
Loungewear, Homewear, or Sleepwear: How to Choose?
-
For daytime: Opt for chic loungewear — flowy pants, an oversized jumper, a light shirt and stylish slippers. A relaxed yet elevated look that keeps you comfortable and polished.
-
For everyday tasks: Choose practical homewear — soft joggers, basic organic cotton tees, and easy-going pieces. Ideal for being productive and at ease at home.
-
For nighttime: Go for soft sleepwear — organic cotton or satin pyjamas, an elegant nightgown, a matching set or a comfy shirt dress. The softest materials for peaceful rest.
