Dressing comfortably at home is a personal matter. Some find comfort swaddling up in sweatsuits or their best leggings while a brave few individuals have not given up their “normal” day to day to clothes. Here at Vogue, we’ve heard from our colleagues who dare to wear denim at home, and those who have discovered the joys of wearing a caftan. But if you’re feeling stuck somewhere between finding the right balance of caring and not caring, we hear you. After roughly 7 weeks of sheltering in place, having the motivation to change out of your pajamas at all in the first place is no easy feat.
The good news is that leggings still exist and can keep you feeling comfortable and looking presentable. It’s a controversial fashion item, and has been considered everything from a wardrobe essential to a faux pas. Our stance? They can be chic and it’s time to dig up those old pairs with stirrups, and hook ‘em right under your favorite pairs of socks or slippers. You can even use this time to introduce a printed or statement pair into the mix, a la Versace Spring 2020. Want to escape into something silky soft? Layer a pair of your best leggings under a house worthy slip dress or robe for a luxe look (and a little extra warmth), or go simple with a plain black pair and an oversized mens white button down for the ultimate artsy meets minimalist work-from-home attitude.
My personal favorites are stretchy pants with a flare leg. You’ll feel like you’re wearing a pair of hard pants. They’ll certainly come in handy when transitioning into post-pandemic office attire, when the time comes. From classic black to fashion-forward, let’s hear it for these 15 pairs of leggings to wear at home, that can do no wrong.
