After 2 Years Of Breathless Searching, We Found Our Favorite Lounge Set Of All Time
WHAT: Tkees The Hoodie and The Jogger
WHY: We had a lot of requirements for the mythical set we were constantly on the hunt for. And in fact, we were starting to wonder if our list of must-haves was just too stringent, because nothing made the cut.
Here they are:
Must be profoundly soft.
Must be profoundly comfortable.
Must run from at least an XS to a 2XL.
Must have gorgeous colors.
Must be machine washable and hold up in the wash.
Must have all other mix and match pieces be the same colorway (which is bizarrely hard to find).
Must be a permanent collection, meaning it won’t ever permanently sell out.
Must be so flattering that we can wear it into the actual world, not just lounging on the couch while binging all seasons of Bachelor in Paradise while our husbands pretend to “hate” it while fully investing in all love triangles.
As you can imagine, this search has been…challenging.
We’d find something we like and it wouldn’t be available anymore. Or the size range was tiny. Or it would disintegrate once we washed it.
Why is this so hard? You’d think after the year and half we’ve all had, companies would be scrambling to make the greatest, coziest, chicest loungewear of all time, and yet, crickets.
So after pulling probably over 100 sweatpants and sweatshirts onto our weary, disappointed bodies, we say with confidence, that the Tkees hoodie and matching joggers changed everything for us. In an instant.
So roomy, so cozy, the perfect drop crotch that looks gorgeously flattering on curves, feels like pajamas yet we feel zero compunction wearing them to the school pick up, the lunch, the errands, and in fact, the only real downside is that we’re CONSTANTLY asked where we got them. Constantly.
After seeing this photo of J. Lo wearing her joggers and “boxy crew sweatshirt” we will be saving up for a set in her colorway. Named, perfectly, “toast.”
So those were the rapturous pros. Here are the two cons:
Their stock is not always reliable. Things do come back in stock eventually but as a small, privately owned company, they can’t keep up with the demand, and you’ll see that pieces are often out of stock. So if you see your size and color, get it. It might be gone tomorrow.
They’re not cheap. However, for something like an own-forever loungewear set that we can anticipate wearing for the rest of our lives because the style is so classic and the need to be comfortable yet chic is so permanent, we feel ok about it. It feels good to splurge on something we can guarantee we’ll love and wear forever, and not rely on some mass-manufactured fast-fashion garbage that will fall apart in a year. At least, this is how we’re rationalizing it.
They also have gorgeous men’s sets, kids’ sets, and while some of their sandals run narrow, their classic, simple flip flops are also the best in the biz.
PRICE: $85 for The Boxy Crew (pictured on J.Lo), $105 for The Hoodie, $95 for The Jogger
