I made a vow to myself to jump out of my dumpy traditional loungewear during WFH days and make an effort to get dressed in the morning so I could properly get into work mode. I used to roll out of bed and head straight for my home office, but now that I’ve upgraded my routine, I feel much more prepared to take on my daily tasks and meetings.
We don’t often associate workwear with comfort, so I set out to prove otherwise. I swapped my sweats for more structured pieces that still performed like cozy loungewear when I needed them. Staying comfy while looking and feeling more like a pro is easy with these 10 pieces in your closet.

Banana Republic Factory Perfectly Soft Crew-Neck Sweater
A casual sweater will take your wardrobe far. You can wear it on its own, under a blazer, or over a collared shirt for a more put-together look. The ribbed hems on this Banana Republic sweater feel slightly more elevated than your standard relaxed sweater. It’s a versatile piece that we should all not only fit into our loungewear rotation but our everyday wardrobe as well.
Halara Flex High-Waisted Wide-Leg Trousers
I love how this soft, unique waffle fabric goes beyond a pajama collection. These cozy trousers even have belt loops, but they’re a no-fuss pull-on design. The pleated accents, functional side pockets, and faux zipper help them look like traditional work pants, but they feel like sweats that no one would ever guess are so soft.
Quince Organic Cotton Knit Blazer
This blazer is the perfect combo of a toasty sweater and a sleek blazer in one effortlessly cool layer. It looks and feels appropriate teamed with work pants and a tank top as it does with yoga pants and a fitted sweater. Plus, you can shop it in 10 gorgeous hues, including olive green to ginger orange.
Old Navy Polo Sweater
A sweater with a collar is the instant glow-up that makes it perfect for a casual office environment. Polo sweaters have been having a moment thanks to their preppy inspiration executed in the ultimate snuggly manner. I wouldn’t blame you for grabbing this option in multiple colors or stripe patterns.
