Winter Warmers
Snuggle up to January by updating your loungewear wardrobes this winter. These are the cosy trends to know about now
Frosty evenings spent by the fire, wrapped up in our cosiest jumpers, fluffy socks and soft trousers are sure to be on the agenda this January. And while winter warmers are usually all about comfort, loungewear has become increasingly stylish over the last two years. As the weather gets colder, light jackets will be pushed to the back of wardrobes while we don thick knits and faux fur coats instead. But how do you make sure your loungewear look is up to date for winter? Here are four easy updates to try…
KNITTED loungewear
Last year it was all about sporty sweatshirts and jersey separates.
This season, knitted loungewear is a major trend – with fluffy, super-soft fabrics that will keep you warm all winter, and slouchy ribbed cardigans making a comeback.
