With most of us working from home, googling “loungewear” and “sleepwear” (amongst other panicked searches such as “Coronavirus symptoms”, “how do you boil an egg?” and “is the world ending?”) is fast-becoming the new norm.
As the world continues to grapple with this tragic pandemic, our working lives remain confined to isolated spaces and home “offices” for the foreseeable future, with loungewear and sleepwear becoming the wider fashion currency.
So if you intend on purchasing some new loungewear to loll on the couch in or idly check emails wondering if 11am really is too early for wine, consider this list before entering full-blown sloth-dom. The best part? They’re all local brands, who like many of us, are suffering, too.
