TIPS FOR FINDING THE RIGHT LOUNGEWEAR FOR YOUR BODY

Tommy John Loungewear Set (c/o) 25% off with code “ELSA25”, Chappy Wrap Blanket (c/o)

Loungewear has become a MAJOR clothing category for us all in 2020, and it is definitely here to stay. I know what you’re thinking, loungewear? How hard can it be? You’d be surprised, especially if you are curvy! I consider loungewear on the same level as undergarments. They need to fit right, be very comfortable, hold up well over time, and most of all, be LIVABLE! I personally love this Tommy John set that goes up to an xxl/2x! They are incredibly soft (cannot stress this enough), and they work really well on my 16w curvy body. If you aren’t familiar with Tommy John, they are a family founded company of loungewear, apparel, undergarments and more. Trust me when I say, everything just FEELS. LIKE. BUTTER! I’ve already ordered a second pair and they wash really well.

I’ve finally found the right loungewear for my curvy figure. So, I wanted to share a few tips on how to find the right loungewear for your body. If you like my Tommy John set, you can get 25% off with code ‘ELSA25’ until August 7th! Let’s get to it, here are my tips!

DON’T CUT CORNERS, YOU NEED TO INVEST IN QUALITY & HERE’S WHY

You can get some good finds at places like Target, but they may not hold up as well over time. Don’t get me wrong — I love a good Target find and have plenty myself! But like undergarments, I don’t cut corners with my loungewear. The most important aspect is QUALITY. Meaning good fabrics, ones that won’t roughen over washes, and are constructed well. Good quality also means that proportions will likely be more accurate, which allows you to feel more confident and comfortable. Instead of the under $20 find, good quality loungewear can roughly range from $30-$100. Brands that have a quality-first mindset that maybe cost a little more typically have a product that will last. I’m not saying spend the equivalent of a pair of Jimmy Choo’s, but that little extra goes a long way. I would rather spend a little more once, than have to return again for a replacement pair spending more in the end! 

FIND YOUR SIZE WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOUR STYLE, HERE ARE SOME SOURCES

It is really important to feel good and feel stylish in your loungewear! Sometimes, any loungewear above a large can feel, dare I say, frumpy! It is so exciting to see places like Tommy John and others are expanding their sizes without compromising quality. For reference, I wear the xxl in Tommy John and it fits like a true 1x! You deserve to feel just as chic as you do comfortable, and never settle! I also love Athleta and Talbots. They have great options that carry a full plus size range and the quality is great. 

TRY SEVERAL CUTS AND MIX AND MATCH SEPARATES TO MEET YOUR BODY, BRING THE STORE TO YOU!

You’d be surprised at how many folks order one style and stop there if it doesn’t work! Places like Tommy John sell their sets as separates too. This way, you can find the top that fits your upper half and a pant that meets your bottom half. I have tried countless loungewear brands that didn’t work as well for me. I realized I wasn’t trying the right styles or enough styles, and was not prioritizing quality! Don’t be afraid to order several cuts. A lot of places have good return policies since it is much harder to try-on in store with the pandemic. Bring the store to you within reason and keep what works!
