The temps are dropping, holiday and family time is ramping up, and the desire to get cozy is at peak levels. Although our preferred uniform for these next few weeks of winter would be strictly loungewear or onesies, that may not be possible.
Between last-minute work obligations, dinners with friends and holiday parties, and the inevitable down-to-the-wire shopping session, embracing an at-home, hygge lifestyle could be a little tough. However, you can embrace a lounge-inspired wardrobe that looks anything but lounge-y.
We've rounded up six pairs of lounge pants from Athleta [1] that have all the qualities of your favorite house pants but are so stylish, you'll feel more than comfortable wearing them out of the house.
Salutation Stash Rib Flare
It might be lounge season but that doesn't mean you have to give up your yoga flows. Luckily, the Salutation Stash Rib Flare [2] ($119) can work over time to take you from the studio to lounging and back again. We love how this ribbed flare pant maintains its performance features like a compression-fit and sweat-wicking fabric but is still cozy enough for some serious lounge time.
Keys Intention Pant
Leave it to Alicia Keys [3] to create a sweatpant that can easily go from movie marathon to dinner time. The Keys Intention Pant [4] ($159) has our vote for most stylish housepant that doesn't actually have to be worn around the house. Wear this wide-leg pant with a sweater, athletic tee, or even a hoodie.
Brooklyn Lined Jogger
Another reason you may be pulling yourself away from lounging this winter is to take a run outside. If you're one to embrace winter training, look to a pant like the Brooklyn Lined Jogger [5] ($109) to get the job done. This option is breathable, stretchy, and loose for comfort on and off the track.
Felicity Cozy Pant
With cozy right in the name, the Felicity Cozy Pant [6] ($149) clearly had to make the cut. But beyond its sweater-like fabric and flared fit, this pant has our vote for most versatile. We can picture this pair going from game night in to brunch seamlessly.
Elation Pant
Don't be fooled by the Elation Pant [7] ($99) — this is absolutely a lounge pant in disguise. Thanks to to the trouser-style design, this is one option you can quickly toss on for last-minute dinner plans, work meetings, and more. But thanks to its super soft Powervita™ fabric and sport construction, you'll never lose that sweatpant-feel.
Cozy Karma Recover Jogger
What can't the Cozy Karma Recover Jogger [8] ($98) do? Consider this the MVP of loungewear for the holidays. These breathable, drawstring joggers are perfect for outdoor adventuring, WFH Zoom calls, family photo ops, and movie marathons. So whether you opt to leave the house or not, you know the Recover Jogger is up to the challenge.
