Emily JubbThe once temporarily-closed world is throwing its doors wide open again and with this, our sartorial focus has shifted from at home comfort to real world dress. But that doesn’t mean that our loungewear should take a backseat just yet.
A year of being told to stay at home meant your suit and tie were banished from sight and out came the comfy pieces. Thankfully men’s fashion stepped up to the plate and gave us exactly what we wanted, providing us with well-timed fleece lined tracksuits and breathable tees. Long gone are the days where your ‘comfies’ were an old band t-shirt paired with ill-fitting tracksuit bottoms stained with last weekends chilli sauce, those old favourites just won’t do anymore.
Here’s what you should be replacing it with, no chilli sauce stains in sight.
Hamilton And Hare – Relax Robe in Pink White Pinstripe
Hamilton And Hare aren’t just known for their incredible boxers, their range of loungewear is also hard to beat. Their attention to detail when it comes to fabric and fit is seriously impressive and this robe ticks all of the boxes. This relaxed fit robe comes in a beautifully soft jersey fabric and a relaxed fit, making it perfect for those lazy mornings. Don’t worry if pink isn’t your colour (it really should be, though) as they offer an array of options.
