Ribbed Knits Are My Current Uniform On Days Where I Want to Feel Comfy and Sexy

There's something both comfy and sexy about ribbed knit fabric, making it perfect for those days when you feel like you're a trash goblin that's only let out of its hovel for 48 hours a month, but don't want to actually look like said trash goblin. When I throw on ribbed knits, they help me feel lazy in the aspirational way—you know, the lighting around you is always soft and you look like you could go frolic about in a field at any moment—not in the actual way I am lazy, which is finding Cheetos dust in my hair on a Sunday morning and still not washing it until Tuesday. (Okay, Wednesday. I am the trash goblin.) Shop ribbed knits for spring, below.

You Swim Verve Shorts Two-Piece — $150.00

This UK-based swim line has branched into activewear of all sorts and no one is owning this game better. This stretchy two-piece sweat is RTG for bike rides and spontaneous swims in the ocean alike.

Lunya Cozy Cotton Silk Reversible Pullover — $258.00

This oversized sweater is the next best thing to living in the Lunya catalog. It’s the rare pricey, delicate-looking sweater that can simply be thrown into the washing machine instead of having to hand wash it in your bathtub. And it’s reversible. ’nuff said.

No Nonsense Scallop Crew Sock — $17.00

You can never have too many socks. Swap your usual crew socks out with these dainty scalloped ones to add a little zhuzh to your ensemble.

Alo Muse Sweatpant and Hoodie Set — $186.00

Matching sweats and hoodies are always a good idea, and this brushed ribbed set is just the right amount of slouchy to achieve that “effortless lazy” look. It also comes in dark navy, black, athletic heather grey, and bone heather.

Guess Erynn Pleated Dress — $108.00

This is the easy, everyday dress you’ve been searching for. It’s easy to throw on and go but also looks put together, thanks to the ribbed details and tie waist. It comes in seven colors: pistachio (pictured), red, blue, two shades of teal, beige, and black.

Good American '90s Ribbed Tank Dress — $99.00

Another ribbed dress that effortlessly transitions from day to night. It’s comfy, like your favorite t-shirt, but also sexy. It comes in black and white, and in sizes XS to 5XL.

L*Space Freya Top and Lotta Lounging Pant — $110.00

If you spend some days wandering about your home clad in a duvet cover like some sort of ghost that has access to a Parachute store, it might be time to make the switch to this set. It’s incredibly soft, so you get that “I’m blanket, blanket is me” feeling without, you know, the use of an actual blanket. Plus, I can confirm, cleavage looks better in this top than a duvet cover for selfies.

Beyond Yoga Heather Rib High Waisted Midi Leggings — $98.00

These leggings are so soft you’ll feel the same sense of awe you felt during the before times.

Frankies Bikinis Croft Ribbed High-Cut One Piece Swimsuit — $195.00

I taught myself how to give myself a Brazilian wax during quarantine when no salons were open—meaning I bought a kit online, got wine drunk, and startled my dog with my screams every time I pulled off a strip. This seems like a fitting reward for myself (though, of course, you don’t need to be sans pubic hair to rock this swimsuit). It also comes in white but, just saying, come Halloween this one could be part of your “sexy candy corn” costume. Versatility!
