From long-time lovers to situationships, there’s something for everyone.
I’m a staunch believer in a non-denim wardrobe—really, I don’t own even a single pair of jeans. As such, I’m always on the lookout for clothes that are comfy, relaxed, and yet still somehow cute enough to wear both in and out of the house. It stands to reason, that I’ve made it a habit to stock my wardrobe with comfy loungewear sets that tick off both of these boxes; they’re comfy enough that I never feel like I have to change, but still make a stylish enough statement to wear to brunches, dinners, and cocktail hours.
If you, like me, are obsessed with feeling comfortable and looking cute, I’ve got some great news for you. I’ve spent many an hour scouring the interwebs to find lounge sets that you’ll want to wear while watching TV, sleeping, heading to the farmer’s market, going out to dinner with your friends, walking through an airport—heck, they’re all so comfy, you’ll basically never want to take them off. (No judgment.) And here’s even better news—they’re all under $50. Ready to get cozy? Read on.

If there was ever a loungewear set that called to me so much I’d need it in every single color, it would be this one. I’m obsessed with the ’fit’s oversized, well, fit—it’s somehow big and slouchy, yet still chic enough that I want to wear it everywhere. It’s designed in soft polyester with a hint of stretch and has an eye-catching, all-over pieced tonal herringbone design. The top has short batwing sleeves and a crew neckline, while the wide-leg pants are subtly cropped and finished with a drawstring waist. Speaking of the colors, there are over 20 to choose from, including solids like emerald green and Barbie pink, and ones with black piped trim, like white, light gray, and navy. Whether you’re working from home or out running errands, this is a set that’ll take you (comfy) places.
Pros:
- So many colors
- Unique pieced herringbone design
- Oversized silhouette
- Designed with a hint of stretch
Cons:
- Definitely on the baggier side—note this when choosing your size
Available sizes: S–XL | Materials: 50% polyester, 50% cotton | Colors: 11

It’s a great option for long plane days, since the oversized styling and matching pieces are equal parts casual and cool.

With a variety of neutral and more fashion-forward hues, this is definitely a loungewear set worth slipping into.
Pros:
- Soft materials
- Jogger-style pants
- Retro look
Cons:

There’s nothing worse than having to show up for a Zoom call and feeling not put together. Thankfully, this loungewear set is camera-ready. Whether you choose black, beige, rose, or charcoal gray, you’ll look casual yet pulled together.

I’m a huge fan of mix-and-match separates, and this H&M set has that in spades. Each of the three pieces in this set—the cami, cardigan, and shorts—is finished with pretty scalloped trim. The button-front cardi is perfect for pairing over the tank, of course, but you can also wear it as a lightweight layer with other outfits in and out of the house. The scoop neck cami is also a great layering piece separately.
Pros:
- Crafted from recycled materials
- Lightweight jersey
- Pieces can be mixed and matched
Cons:
- Limited color options

Ready to embrace sweater season? This is the lounge set for you. It has a classic, lounge-ready design, with a long-sleeve top and wide-leg pants. The top is finished with banded cuffs, while the pants have a comfy drawstring waist. What’s especially striking, though, is the allover cable knit pattern, which echoes a cozy fisherman’s sweater but looks unique. This set is also a great size-inclusive option since it goes up to 5X.
Pros:
- Very size inclusive
- Cozy sweater knit
Cons:
- Not all colors available in all sizes
Available sizes: S–3X | Materials: 60% cotton, 40% polyester | Colors: 6
Sure, I’m obsessed with this loungewear set’s fitted silhouette and fleece-lined interior. But even if I weren’t, I’d want to snap it up in every color—because it’s under $25. The two-piece set rings up at an impressive $22, so it’s definitely my new athleisure bestie. Both pieces are designed in a soft cotton and polyester jersey blend, which is not too light and not too heavy, making it perfect for days in the AC or cooler days under a blanket. I love the slimmer fit, too, which gives it a slightly more professional look. The hoodie has a front kangaroo pocket, and the pants have banded jogger hems.
Pros:
- Extremely affordable
- Soft and lightweight jersey
- Fitted silhouette
Cons:
- Not all colors available in all sizes
- Some people may not like the more fitted look

There’s no waffling when it comes to this loungewear set—I’m in love. For starters, it comes in a whopping 34 different colors and patterns. Yes, 34! It’s hard to even choose only one, and with the impressive under-$50 price point, luckily you don’t have to. It’s designed in a soft blend of viscose and nylon, in a cozy waffle knit that begs to be worn on the regular. Both pieces are designed for a subtly oversized fit. The top has a scoop neckline with a four-button closure, long sleeves with drop shoulders, and a high-low hem with deep side slits. The pants have a pull-on waistband and easy, wide legs. While the set has caught my eye in every color, I’m especially drawn to the color-blocked pink and orange version, which I’m definitely going to be wearing out to dinner this fall.
Pros:
- Huge range of colors
- Soft and cozy waffle knit
- Comfy oversized fit
Cons:
- Limited size range
