She has bylines at Motherly, The Everymom, and Byrdie where she wrote about motherhood, beauty, health and relationships. Jasmine knew she wanted to be a writer when she realized she was actually interested in reading the articles in her mom's favorite magazines — and she may or may not have ripped her favorite articles out to study them later. When she's not working, you can find Jasmine playing make-believe with her toddler, spending an undisclosed amount of time in Target or TJ Maxx, and searching for a family-friendly puppy to add to her family.
This year has been one of the best — and busiest — I've had in a while, but now I'm ready to relax in my comfyloungewear essentials. My work from home job doesn't require me to dress up, but I've logged more hours at coffee shops than I care to admit. Now that I'll be home for a longer stretch of time, I don't want to worry about putting effort into my outfits. I want to be 'cozy slippers and weighted blanket' comfortable.
I'm sure you're in full-blown OOO mode too, so I'm sharing 27 loungewear essentials I've searched high and low for. From matching sets to fleece pullovers, your online shopping buddy's got your relaxation needs covered.
Matching Sets

This waffle sweater and short combo is begging to be worn while you're sitting in front of your space heater. What? It's not like I know from experience or anything.

H&M Viscose-Blend Dress
I love Skims as much as the next girl, but sometimes we need affordable lounge maxi dresses. How lucky are we that someone on H&M's design team got the hint?
Shop NowSKIMS Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
But, this doesn't mean that your S.O. can't surprise you with a long slip dress from Skims' soft lounge collection. Between us, it's becoming a tradition that my partner gets me at least one thing from Skims during Christmas.

Just because loungewear is designed to be comfortable doesn't mean it has to be boring.

Dearest reader, we don't need anymore knit cardigans. But, we'd look so good in this.

If an open-stitch cardigan isn't your thing, go for Athleta's long wrap.
Shop NowBanana Republic Factory Fair Isle Cardigan
I screamed when I saw this cardigan. Everything about it is perfect.

If it weren't for my S.O., I would've never started liking clog slippers. But, they're so comfy and chic.
