Comfy clothes or presentable loungewear

Short answer: The difference is whether the clothes can be worn when someone comes round. Clean cuts and calm colours make a set usable all day, while worn-out comfy clothes only work when you are alone.

What makes a set usable

The colour, the cut and whether there are holes or stains. The material matters less than people think.

Two kinds of loungewear

Most people end up with one presentable set for working from home and guests, and one worn set for evenings alone.

The presentable set

Choose dark or muted colours and a cut without baggy knees. See bamboo loungewear for women.

The worn set

When the presentable one wears out, it moves down and becomes evening wear. That way the clothes get used twice over.

For men

See the range in bamboo loungewear for men.

The material matters for comfort

If you sit for hours, heavy cotton fabric turns clammy. See sweat clothing.

Washing

Loungewear is worn for several hours at a time and should be washed after two to three days. See the washing guide.
