Good Housekeeping: The Best Cozy Women's Loungewear, According to Expert Testing

If we learned anything from spending the last few years cooped indoors, it's that you don't have to sacrifice comfort for style. Nowadays, adding fun fashion-forward loungewear to your wardrobe is a must. Upgrade from your old, worn-out pajamas and invest in solid pieces that add a pop of color to your casual fits and find flattering cuts that make you look and feel good. And with hybrid schedules and remote work here to stay, loungewear is the perfect work-from-home outfit that's still nice enough to wear out to the airport or while running errands.

At the Good Housekeeping Textiles Lab, we regularly test everything essential to your everyday outfit, from the best pajamas and leggings to cozy slippers and fuzzy socks, for things you, our readers, care about, from fit and feel to shrinkage and durability.

We evaluate how well fabrics hold up in the wash and have consumer testers weigh in on factors like comfort and fit to find the best, most comfortable loungewear out there. Our recommendations ahead are from top-performing brands in our Lab tests as well as staff favorite picks and new styles that have unique features and rave reviews from real users.

Read on to learn more about how we test and other things to look for when shopping for your next comfortable loungewear styles. For more top-tested loungewear, we've also evaluated comfy sweatpants and joggers, cozy hoodies and sweatshirts and more.

BEST LOUNGEWEAR FOR COLD WEATHER
SUPESU Cubby Sweater

With a cute, oversized look, this sweatshirt may look unassuming, but it's actually lined with soft, faux-fur-like fleece designed to keep you cozy and warm. Perfect for lounging indoors during winter or wearing out in late fall or early spring, it's even got hidden pockets that are lined with the same super soft fleece for true comfort. Testers raved about how "high-quality" and "stylish" the sweatshirt felt but noted that the inner lining does lose its plushness over time if washed too often.
