Loungewear For The “New Normal”

Hello, loves! I hope you are having a wonderful October day.

Every day is a loungewear day when you are stuck in quarantine. Working and teaching from home may mean some adjustments to your daily attire, but that does not mean compromising style for comfort! You can be comfy and cute in the proper loungewear.

Today’s blog is an ode to the best of leggings, sweats, and tanks!

The key to survival while working from home is finding that perfect balance between comfortable and relaxed clothing while tricking your mind into believing you are dressed to be productive rather than lazy or chill. Loungewear has this connotation of idleness or inactivity rather than activewear, which automatically creates feelings of productivity and efficiency. Plainly put, loungewear of the past was strictly for lounging, and activewear was for being active. But this is 2020, and we are making new fashion rules! At Filly Flair, we believe that all clothing should be practical, fun, and comfortable. We stand for self-expression and using fashion as a means of self-empowerment. We are all about relaxing and enjoyable clothing that is fun and exciting and makes you feel your absolute best! Clothes should empower you to get the job done while still allowing yourself comfort, ease, and accessibility.

They say “beauty is pain,” but in today’s world, we reject that old-world belief. The key here is elementary if you look at it plainly. Beauty is what makes you feel good.

Combing loungewear, activewear, and street style is the perfect formula for a stay-at-home outfit made in heaven!

Here are a few styling tips:

Invest in quality leggings. I’m talking durable leggings that make you feel amazing and powerful and flexible. Avoid cheap leggings that leave you uncomfortable, feeling gross, or especially with pain. Your leggings should always be cute, breathable, and fit to your body. No need to compromise!

You can dress a pair of sweats up or down, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Sweatpants have great potential with the addition of the right top and some accent jewelry. A pro tip is to fix your hair and makeup and wear a comfortable but flattering shirt you love with your favorite sweats. The key is to find that happy medium between dressing for the day and still allowing yourself that bit of coziness, which helps you get through the day.

Minimal jewelry can go a long way! Don’t forget about the power of some studs or small hoops. A dainty collar bone necklace adds a little oomph to your lounge style when wearing a simple tee shirt. Another fantastic jewelry tip is using watches. This classic accessory is a practical way to help you feel productive! When in doubt, accessorize.

Avoid wearing more than one loose or baggy item! Try picking out one or more articles that are form-fitting rather than oversized. Research shows that wearing baggy clothes reduces motivation!
