It's been seemingly deemed the year of sweatpants, and well, we're not mad about it. We've seen athleisure as an ever-growing trend. From biker shorts styled with blazers to sneakers paired with flowy frocks, styling athleisure items into the everyday wardrobe is an innate part of the fashion world today. As for loungewear (a clothing category once consisting of old, oversize T-shirts and hole-ridden sweatpants), it's now a diversified wardrobe category that is meant to be as stylish as it is comfortable.

Asya Varetsa and Kate Zubarieva, the founders of Sleeper, an incredibly chic nightwear brand , built an entire brand dedicated to making you feel good in your loungewear, ultimately proving the theory that if you feel good in what you're wearing-no matter where you are-you will be more confident throughout your day.

Though loungewear epitomizes comfort dressing, it doesn't have to be unruly. Thus, I have curated some of the key pieces that are found in a loungewear capsule wardrobe that not only meet the rules of comfort but also make you confident and polished. Ranging from classic hoodies and buttery leggings to linen button-downs and knit pants, these outfits are ideal for kicking back, relaxing, and posting on your Instagram feed.

Cardigans are this season's wardrobe staple. Opt for a longer ribbed knit cardigan to provide extra warmth when paired with neutral biker shorts. Style tip: Add delicate, dainty jewelry to your outfit for a simple way to elevate loungewear.

When building a loungewear outfit, layering is key. For instance, choose a bodysuit as your base layer to build upon. For a more relaxed look, style it with this classic Champion hoodie and henley shorts. Style tip: For a little mood boost, style with colorful accents à la these tie-dye socks.

A variation of a fleece jacket is a loungewear wardrobe staple piece. Quick (sneaky) tip: Style it over a yoga-approved outfit, so there is no excuse to exercise later.
