Bamboo Loungewear – The New Everyday Wardrobe

Short answer: Loungewear is no longer only sofa clothing. It is worn for working from home, for errands and in the evening, so it has to be soft and look tidy at the same time. Bamboo viscose hits both, because the fabric drapes heavy rather than bagging, and because it does not smell after a long day at home.

Why the fabric settles it

Loungewear in polyester and thin cotton has the same problem: it turns clammy indoors where the air stands still, and it bags at the knees and elbows after a few hours. Bamboo viscose takes the moisture into the fibre and releases it again, so the fabric stays dry even after a whole day in the same chair. At the same time the fabric drapes heavier and smooths itself out, which is why a bamboo loungewear set can be worn to answer the door without looking like nightwear.

Hoodies and tops

The hoodie gets the most hours of wear, and it is also where the difference between materials is largest. A cotton hoodie is heavy and takes a long time to dry, while one in bamboo viscose is thinner, drapes softer and can be washed often without going stiff. The styles for women sit under bamboo hoodies for women and for men under bamboo hoodie for men. Choose your normal size if it should sit neatly, and go up if it should be roomy.

The trousers

For the legs the choice is between loose and close fitting, and both come in the same quality. Loose trousers are best for long days at a desk, because the fabric can move and carry moisture. See bamboo sweatpants for men. If you prefer something closer, bamboo leggings for women work at home and out, and they do not bag at the knees the way thin cotton leggings do after a couple of hours.

The move into the night

Many people wear the same piece in the evening and at night, and that works as long as the fabric is the same. A set of bamboo nightwear can be worn from dinner through the night without changing, and that is one reason people end up with several sets of it. See bamboo nightwear for women and bamboo nightwear for men. Choose loose, so the fabric can work while you sleep.

How to build the set

Start with two pieces: a top and a pair of trousers in the same colour, so they can be worn separately and together. Then add a hoodie for cool evenings. Three pieces cover a whole week if they can be washed at thirty degrees and hang dry overnight, and they can. The full range sits under bamboo loungewear for women and bamboo loungewear for men.

Frequently asked questions

Can bamboo loungewear be worn outside the house

Yes. The fabric drapes heavier than thin cotton and does not bag, so a set in one colour looks tidy for errands and short trips.

How often does bamboo loungewear need washing

Less often than cotton, because the moisture is taken into the fibre rather than sitting between the threads. Wash at thirty degrees without softener.
