Matching lounge sets had a major moment a few years ago, but are they still worth wearing in 2025? I’m sharing my thoughts on whether this cozy trend still holds up, and a few outfit ideas if you’re into the look.
Matching lounge sets were basically the uniform from 2020-2023. But now that we’re a few years out, you may be wondering if they still feel current or if they’re one of those trends that has faded.
If you’re still into comfy-cute style, this post breaks down whether lounge sets are still in, how to style them in a fresh, modern way, and where to wear them.
Can I still wear my matching lounge sets?
Yes! Lounge sets are absolutely still applicable to 2025 style, and if you have them in your closet, I think you should wear them. But there are a few styles that I’d recommend donating or tossing, and a few that might be worth adding to your closet this year.
These are the matching sets that are the most in style in 2025.
- Full length wide leg pants and a matching sweatshirt or half zip, like THIS
- Sweatpant style pants (with an elastic ankle) and a matching sweatshirt or half zip or top, like THIS
- Wide leg full length pants and a button up shirt, like THIS
- Matching track suits, like THIS or THIS
- Any kind of matching workout set – skirt and tank, leggings and sports bra, shorts and a sweatshirt, it’s all good!
- Matching pool coverup sets, like THIS
- Skirts and tops, LIKE THIS or a SKIRT + TOP HERE.
- Linen tanks and pants, LIKE THIS.
You’ll still see TONS of matching sets around this year, but they’re much more elevated this year!
These are the matching sets that should go away.
The large oversized tees with the matching biker shorts are a no-go for me. I never wore them in the first place, but I think they have no business sticking around anymore unless you’re wearing them for workouts. For everyday, it’s time to let them go.
Where are we wearing our matching lounge sets?
It depends which sets you’re wearing.
For the traditional sweatpants and sweatshirts, I’m most likely to wear them for travel. They feel like pajamas but they look a little more elevated. For printed matching silky sets like this, they could be amazing for date night or an event!
The bottom line for me is that loungewear is not the default anymore. After 2020, it became the default for everyone, and many of us got in a style slump because we just wore loungewear.
So I’m challenging you to look through your closet and evaluate your loungewear, and see where you can branch out to other clothing, and how you can elevate your style a little more if you’ve been in a slump!
A creative way to wear the lounge sets you already have
Oh, and if you really want to wear the lounge set, but want to elevate it, I put together this super chic outfit last year with my spanx full length lounge pants and crew neck sweatshirt, and I absolutely love it. The metallic flats and striped button up really elevate a lounge set and make it something special. So this might be a good way to get more use out of your loungewear that’s in your closet!
I hope this is helpful to get you thinking about your closet and your loungewear!
Fresh poppy pods are the seed pods that are harvested from the poppy flower. Poppies are known for their beautiful flowers, but it’s their seed pods that are of the most value. These pods contain the seeds for the next crop and, when dried, they are frequently used in floral arrangements and other decorative crafts. By using fresh poppy pods, you can take your art to the next level as it gives a natural and pleasant look to your creations.
