Staying in doesn't mean letting your style slide. Chic loungewear comes down to three things: soft fabrics, cuts that don't dig in, and house shoes you're happy to be seen in when someone rings the bell. Here are 7 cosy looks for every moment at home.
Key points
- Choose soft but structured fabrics: knitwear, heavy cotton, fleece, velvet.
- Keep to a tight palette (camel, beige, grey, black) for an effortlessly put-together look.
- Feet matter: a vegan suede clog or slipper finishes the outfit.
- Keep one pair that can go outside for quick trips (post, bins, neighbours).
The basics of chic loungewear
Before the looks, three principles. First, comfort is non-negotiable: elasticated waists, relaxed cuts, nothing that leaves marks. Second, consistency: two or three colours that work together are enough to look considered, even in joggers. Finally, your feet: this is often where the outfit falls apart. Tired old socks spoil a lovely knitted set; a nice pair of slippers completes it.
7 cosy looks to feel good at home
1. Head-to-toe knit for working from home
A chunky crew-neck jumper and trousers in the same colour family: the perfect video-call uniform. The top looks smart on screen, the bottom stays comfortable. On your feet, a closed-toe clog such as the Sienna vegan suede clogs: the padded footbed follows the arch of your foot and the adjustable metal buckle fits it to your foot. In taupe or camel, it goes with every neutral knit.
2. Sunday joggers, done well
Joggers aren't the enemy of style, as long as you choose a good fabric: heavy fleece, straight leg, no loud logo. Add a well-cut white T-shirt and a long cardigan. On your feet, ribbed socks and a slipper with a wide faux-fur cuff: the Merano cosy slippers bring that snug feel without looking like pyjamas.
3. Jumper dress and chunky socks
For days when you want a softer silhouette: a midi jumper dress, thick tights or chunky socks, and a plush slipper. Simple and warm, and you can answer the door without getting changed. Pairing ideas are in our guide how to wear clogs with socks.
4. The between-seasons linen and cotton set
When the house is nicely heated, or as soon as spring arrives, a shirt and wide trousers in linen or washed cotton look relaxed and elegant. Here, a backless clog works better than a thick slipper: light and easy to slip on, it feels more "wardrobe" than "bedroom".
5. The evening cocooning look
Throw, film, mug of tea: this is the time for the softest fabrics. Wide cord or fleece trousers, a relaxed sweatshirt, and a clog lined with faux fur right up to the collar, like the Bormio faux-fur-lined clogs. Your feet stay warm, even on cold tiles.

6. Hosting without overdoing it
Friends dropping by unannounced? Straight jeans, a fine-knit jumper and closed vegan suede clogs do the job perfectly. No one will guess you're wearing your house shoes. A touch of leopard print on your feet can even become the statement piece.
7. The "just popping out" look
Fetching the post, taking out the bins, dropping off a parcel: you need a pair that can handle the pavement. An outdoor slipper with a grooved platform sole, like Alba, goes from indoors to outdoors without a change of shoes. Throw a long coat over a knitted set and you still look sharp.

Which colours for elegant loungewear?
Neutrals are the easiest: beige, camel, grey, taupe, black. They mix with each other and create a sense of calm, ideal at home. For a little personality, pick a single bold touch: a leopard pair, a saffron jumper. For slippers, camel or brown hide everyday marks well, while pink or beige add softness.

Slippers or clogs: what to wear with chic loungewear?
- For working from home and busy days: a closed-toe clog that holds your foot without squeezing.
- For pure cocooning: a slipper with a faux-fur cuff, the cosiest option.
- For going in and out: a style with a grooved sole.
All our styles are made of vegan suede, a microfibre with a soft "peach skin" feel, with no animal-derived materials. They are true to size: if you're between two sizes, go for the larger one. To see the whole winter range, browse our faux-fur-lined boots, booties and slippers.
Frequently asked questions
How can you look chic while staying at home?
Choose soft but structured fabrics (knitwear, heavy fleece), a palette of two or three colours and a nice pair of slippers. It's the details, especially on your feet, that make the difference.
What should you wear to work from home?
A top that looks smart on screen (jumper, soft shirt) and comfortable bottoms. On your feet, a closed-toe clog gives better hold than an open slipper over a long day.
Can you wear clogs all day at home?
Yes, if the footbed is padded and the clog holds your foot well. An adjustable buckle lets you fine-tune the fit as the day goes on.
