Fashion trends 2020 – Elevated loungewear is having a moment. This trend is getting hyped up with the current situation. While working from home and staying safe you might wonder: how can we stay in and still look cute?

I had a little look at a couple easy and fun ways to look stylish and comfy. Here are some loungewear looks you can put together easily.

Never being a bit fan of sweatpants myself I always struggled with the athleisure trend. However I have come to embrace it since the lockdown started.

Finally turning to the big movement that began with Kim Kardashian Westโ€™s aesthetic and Kanye Westโ€™s Yeezy collections. I decided to draw inspiration from their nude palette and thee whole sexy sweats look. Their laidback yet luxurious loungewear is often contrasted with high maintenance makeup and hair. So that is of course optional and always fun to do if you want to glam up your daily look.

So here are 3 key casual yet stylish stay at home looks using items that you probably already have in your wardrobe.

Look 1: The Stylish Sweatsuit Set

Think Minimal, Scandinavian Chic

Stylish sweat sets are your golden ticket to get through confinement. Opt to for monochrome sets in neutral shades such as cream, dove grey, almond or stone. In terms of textiles, choose super soft materials (prima cotton, velour, cashmere and modal blends). Look for loose fitted ones with a high waist. You can keep it feminine and playful by tucking the top a bit to define your waist.

My personal favorites which are easily accessible worldwide for these lounge sets are NA-KD fashion, H&M and Zara.

Glam it up! A fun way to keep this outfit interesting and is by adding gold, bold jewels. Such as a statement necklace, hoop earrings or thick, chunky rings will instantly elevate the look.

Look 2: Play with proportions

Get Shorty

As the weather warms up in spring, this is an easy athleisure look to stay cool and look chic. Paring cycle shorts with a loose tee and an oversized hoodie. This outfit is all about playing with proportions and combining form-fitted with oversized. You can take it one step further and add a dash of neon or opt for a tie-dye jumper to really stay on trend!

My personal faves include Revolve, Nasty Gal and Missguided for these trendy pieces.

Look 3: Keeping up with the crop tops

Dare to Bare

This is a more daring one that shows a bit of skin (itโ€™s also a great one to motivate you to keep in shape while at home!). Combine a cute crop top or bandeau in black or white with a super-soft knit and high-waisted yoga leggings. If you are looking for great staples Oysho Sport, Nike and Alo Yoga have super leggings and workout tops.

And there you have it! Elevated yet effortless. These three easy looks incorporate the loungewear fashion trend that has been skyrocketing since quarantine started.
