Loungewear is so popular these days, but it can be hard to figure out how to wear it out of the house without looking like pajamas. Here are a few great everyday outfits with American Giant loungewear pieces.

Can you wear loungewear in everyday outfits without looking like you’re wearing pajamas?? The answer is YES.

It’s a great way to feel comfy but still put together for the day. Both Philip and I love American Giant loungewear — it’s super high quality, amazing fabric, and the kind of pieces you can wear for years to come. On American Giant’s website they show how their classic hoodies look after 10 years and it’s incredible. They are made to last! There are a lot of cheap loungewear pieces out there that stretch and fade and don’t hold their shape, but American Giant is not one of those.

So today I’m partnering with American Giant to share some of my favorite pieces and show you how to style them for lounging at home and beyond.

They also gave me a 20% off code for you — new customers only, code MERRICK for 20% off sitewide!

Here are a few keys to wearing loungewear without looking like pajamas: 

1. Choose polished loungewear that has good shape, structure, and fabric.
2. Add layers
3. Add accessories to finish the outfits.
4. Do your hair and maybe add a little makeup. It goes a long way with making you look more put together.

Two at-home lounge outfits that still look put together

Honestly, I love THESE STRAIGHT LEG PANTS so much. They’re French Terry fabric, so they’re nice, sturdy sweatpants material — not lightweight and flimsy, and definitely warm enough for the winter!

American Giant’s NO-BS PANTS are their best selling pants, and feel like a leggings but look like a pant. They are so comfy and come in lots of different styles. I just got this slight FLARED PAIR and I’m love them. They’re great for everyday and for lounging at home!

Everyday Loungewear Outfit 1:

• For the first outfit at-home loungewear outfit, I wore the STRAIGHT LEG PANTS and added some easy layers on top — a BASIC WHITE TEE and a HALF ZIP PULLOVER. It’s super comfy for lounging at home, but you can throw on a coat and sneakers at a moments notice and be ready to go out and run errands or pick up the kids, or go to the kids games.

Everyday Loungewear Outfit 2:

• These ZIP UP HOODIE from American Giant can be worn zipped or unzipped, but this time I wore it zipped up and paired with the NO-BS FLARE PANTS and this is literally the comfiest outfit. Add a cute beanie and swap the slippers for sneakers or boots if you need to go out.

How to wear lounge pants out and about in the winter

These STRAIGHT LEG PANTS are definitely very casual, but you can absolutely wear them out and about during the winter. Shoes can be tricky with them, but Chelsea boots and high top sneakers work so well!

Everyday Loungewear Outfit 3:

• This is an elevated and more finished version of Outfit #1…literally all I did was add a Chelsea boot, zip up the PULLOVER, add a nice coat, and throw on a beanie. So easy!

Everyday Loungewear Outfit 4:

• For this outfit, I just swapped the PULLOVER for a ZIP UP HOODIE, and then swapped the beanie for a baseball hat and the boots for sneakers. This feels a little more casual and totally my style. I still wore the TEE underneath, and you could absolutely unzip it for a little more layered look.

Try an all-black look with a twist

If you’re feeling nervous about wearing loungewear out, and want it to look elevated and not like pajamas, an all-black look is a great option. Here are two ideas.

Everyday Loungewear Outfit 5:

• I paired the STRAIGHT LEG SWEATPANT in black with a RIBBED TURTLENECK in black, and then added a chic black coat over the top. This looks polished and not like pajamas. Add a hat (if you’d like) and some sneakers or boots, and you’re good to go!

Everyday Loungewear Outfit 6:

• In this outfit, I paired the same RIBBED TURTLENECK with the BLACK NO-BS FLARE PANTS for a more fitted, chic look, then tied my pullover around my shoulders. It feels wintery and chic without too many layers. Of course you could do boots with this instead, if you’d like!
