Most of the year, we're partial to loungewear that's plush, cozy, and (most of all) warm. But as temperatures rise, we're eyeing our stack of knit sweaters and chunky hoodies with a little less enthusiasm. (No disrespect to our favorite sweatsuits!)
Comfy vibes are key—but night sweats are never cute. So it's time to trade that heavy loungewear for something more lightweight.
Luckily, there are even more touchable textures to choose from as we head into summer. From silky-smooth cotton-modal blends that drape like a dream, to waffle knits that are as plush and springy as they are breathable, summer loungewear is a feast for the senses. And these picks look as good as they feel, whether you're wearing them at your local coffee shop, while crossing items off your summer bucket list, or just while curled up on the couch. (After all...summer is for relaxing, right?)
Scroll on to see which breezy summer loungewear pieces we're adding to our cart now.

Universal Standard Isadora Wide Leg Lounge Pants
$80
30% off
We've been stans of Universal Standard for a long time, thanks to the inclusive sizing and super-flattering fits. (Their Next To Naked leggings are our go-to for yoga and pilates classes.) These lounge pants bring drama and decadence to the everyday, with their flowy wide-leg fit and rich blue hue. The cotton-modal blend will keep you cool even as temps rise.
(Note: Universal Standard follows its own sizing conventions, so be sure to double-check their size chart before ordering.)

Stateside Gauze Oversized Shirt + Short Set
$93
BRB, booking a vacation just so we can wear this set. Stateside's dreamy 100% cotton gauze is made for wearing on a beach weekend, with its ultra-airy feel and soft texture. Snap up this set ASAP so you can mix it in with other pieces in your wardrobe until the summer really heats up.

Dandy Del Mar Lucia Pant
$62
30% off
Solid-colored coordinating sets have a special place in our hearts, but sometimes you've got to embrace a pattern. Dandy Del Mar's coffee-hued zebra print is perfect for those moments. The lightweight tencel blend is spiked with a bit of linen for some added texture, making these an easy pair to live in—and dress up or down—all season.

Norma Kamali Raglan Sleeve Top w/Mesh
$195
...May we suggest pairing your Lucia pants with this? Norma Kamali's raglan-sleeve top is a cheat-code for elevated summer dressing. The oversized, roomy fit is offset by the sheer mesh sleeves, keeping your look breezy and breathable through summer's balmiest days.

SOLD OUT NYC Not So Basic Tank
$85
There are tank tops...and then there's *this* tank top. SOLD OUT NYC's Peruvian cotton rib tank is a cut above, favored by the likes of VOGUE. It's more substantial than your average tank, with a luxe feel and a high-cut neck that's less utilitarian, more understated. Wear it under your favorite zip-up on those summer nights when temperatures drop.

G4Free Short Sleeve Crop Top
$20
When it's too hot to wear something form-fitting, reach for a slightly boxy-cut crop top that lets you breeze through the day. This one from G4Free is a cotton-modal blend with a hint of stretch that maintains its swingy shape. The three-quarter length sleeves add just the right amount of structure.

NEGATIVE Waffle Knit Pullover
$160
NEGATIVE started out in the intimates space, promising comfier undies that still deliver major style moments—and they delivered. Now that they're branching out to loungewear, we couldn't be happier. The same comfort-first ethos is on full display, as with this chunky waffle-weave cotton pullover. It's finished with mother-of-pearl buttons (a very demure touch, if we do say so ourselves), but make no mistake—it's tailor-made for off-duty days. Pair it with the matching pants to create the ultimate airport outfit.

Buck Mason Tropez Terry Cloth Wide Leg Pant
$138
Is there anything more essential for summer lounging than white terry pants? Buck Mason's take on the classic athletic style is made from substantial 100% cotton terry, and cut with the perfect wide-leg, relaxed fit—structured enough to wear on your next getaway, but easy enough to reach for on a cozy day at home. The heavier-weight terry means even white pants become a practical choice—no sheerness here.

LUNE Active Olly Shorts
$125
Proof that you can still wear knits in the summer. LUNE Active's Olly short is knit from an eco-friendly, closed-loop Viscose blend, giving them a breathable feel even with their cozy texture. These shorts are destined to become a favorite for relaxing at home, and tossing on over a swimsuit at the beach, too.

Jungmaven Singlet
$76
One and done. For the days when you don't feel like building an outfit, this one-piece wonder does it for you. The super-soft hemp and cotton blend is naturally sweat-wicking and temperature-regulating, whether you wear it by itself, or as a base layer with an oversized denim jacket layered on top for your next farmer's market run.
