Elevated Loungewear for Cozy Nights In

There’s nothing quite like snuggling up in the perfect loungewear as winter nights grow colder. Although we’re getting closer to the winter solstice (a few more minutes of daylight each day make all the difference!), sometimes holiday cheer is found in the simpler things, like upping your loungewear game. Style Encore doesn’t just have your next favorite garment to wear out and about; you just might find your new favorite outfit to wear when staying fireside with a cozy mug of tea and your favorite winter flick.

Embrace the elevated coordination of a luxurious sweater set. Even if two pieces on the racks aren’t intended to be worn together, layering monochromatic pieces like a light cashmere long-sleeve underneath a heavier weight cardigan in a similar color creates a wonderful texture combination and gives the extra warmth I wish for on a starry December night.

It seems like just about everyone’s “cozy night in” outfit inspiration these days can be found in the already-classic Nancy Meyers film The Holiday. Joggers are a slightly more contemporary look to layer with, as opposed to the wide-leg pajama pant worn in the film, but taking inspiration from Amanda Woods’ light lavender palette puts a unique twist on classic winter shades. When browsing your local Style Encore, look for icy pastels in blue, mint or a wintry rose for a vintage-holiday inspired look.

One more tidbit from The Holiday—outerwear as loungewear! You may not find yourself in a stone cottage in the English countryside, but capping off your look with your favorite fair isle hat or a cable-knit scarf is a surefire way to warm up after coming in from the cold—just add a cup of hot cocoa.

Wishing you the happiest holidays and many warm nights ahead!
