The sweatsuit as we know it may be dead, but matchy-matchy loungewear sets are here to stay. Influencers have embraced this style, which often presents a sleeker silhouette through proportions like more petite tops and more oversized bottoms or ribbed hemlines.
This sweat set bridges the gap between loungewear and clothing you can wear by pairing a roomy, Henley-style button-up sweater with cropped, flared pants. This cozy set is also sustainably sourced and produced by the gender-inclusive, elevated loungewear brand Friend + Folk.
Black Friday
Black Friday is the best time to stock up on matching sweat sets that can be paired with an outfit that feels cozy and put-together. This matching hoodie and sweatpants set are soft, lightweight, and stylish, featuring a kangaroo pocket. It’s also available in various colors, so you can find the one that works best for your wardrobe.
This match set is perfect for everyday wear, combining the classics of loungewear with elevated fabrics like premium Mongolian cashmere. Its drop shoulders and drawstring joggers give it a brighter feel that’s more refined than your average pajamas for the day, while the ribbed detail on the bottom adds a sleek finish.
The color of this set is also on point, aligning with current neutral trends while still being fun and vibrant. The combination of 50 percent recycled and 50 percent organic cotton makes it a sustainable choice. According to Sachs, this set is an excellent option for people who want to add more sustainable sweats to their closet. It’s available in a wide range of sizes so that you can choose the best fit.
This matching set from Reformation is an excellent option for a more casual, street-inspired take on the sweatsuit trend. It’s made from recycled fabric and combines a simple crew with cinched joggers, so you can easily mix and match the two for different looks.
Cyber Monday
Regarding clothes, Cyber Monday is the best time of year to snag wish-list items and invest in everyday staples that will last all winter (and into next season). Look for cold-weather accessories like this double-breasted parka from Canada Goose on sale, or save 60% on a splurge-worthy cashmere sweater from Naadam.
These pieces are ethically made in Los Angeles and feature a 50 percent Texloop RCOT Primo Recycled Cotton blend and the rest of organic cotton. The result is soft and durable, and the cerulean color aligns perfectly with current neutral trends.
Other Cyber Monday deals you’ll want to pounce on include these cozy bed sheets, which have received more than 126,300 five-star ratings and are made from a combination of coziest microfiber for warmth and bamboo rayon that wicks away moisture for calm, sweat-free sleep. Or, shop Lululemon’s We Made Too Much section for year-low prices on workout gear and athleisure staples like this hoodie and pants set.
You’ll also find discounts on workwear staples, including this sleek, tailored polo shirt from Vince. The fit is flattering, and the button-down style adds a touch of professionalism to casual office attire. Lastly, check out Nordstrom’s Cyber Monday deals on shoes, including this comfortable, elevated sneaker. This pair of sneakers has a hidden wedge heel for support and a cushioned insole and arch support for comfort all day long.
Thanksgiving
The day after Thanksgiving is one of the best times to buy sweat sets because the holiday means you’ll spend a lot of time at home. “It’s a great opportunity to invest in cozy gear so that you can relax at home and still look put-together,” says Sweat trainer Katie Martin.
She recommends a fleece set like this one from Hanes. It comes in rich shades (we’re partial to deep royal, but forest and army brown also pack a wintry punch) and will help keep you warm from Thanksgiving dinner through the long, lazy weekend ahead.
Another holiday that’s an ideal time to stock up on cozy sweat sets is Presidents Day, Gall points out. It’s a three-day holiday in the middle of winter, so you’ll find plenty of cold-weather discounts on sweaters, coats, and boots.
If you’re looking for a more casual style, Les Tien offers the perfect pair of lounge pants and sweatshirts. They’re made from dense cotton that feels super soft and has that lived-in feel you get from nonstop wear (minus the countless wash cycles). The sweatshirt features a roll neck with some stretch to give it a loose fit, and the pants have a bungee cord at the waist and ankles that can be tightened to fit more snugly.
Christmas
If there’s one thing that marks the official start of cooler weather, piles of soft joggers and sweatshirts go back into the drawers, and the coziest lounge sets come out to play. The good news is that thanks to Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales (plus a few pre-holiday promos), you can score this set for less this year.
If you’re shopping for an authentic classic (think perfectly oversized, plush, and with a matching hoodie), it doesn’t get much better than this Hanes duo. It’s made from a super-plush midweight cotton-poly blend lined with fleece for extra warmth and comes in a range of wintry hues. It also machine washes and dries beautifully, so it’ll wear well after the holidays.
And while the joggers and sweatshirt are great for everyday wear, this style is made from recycled polyester spun from plastic bottles and is anti-pill. It’s a good-for-the-environment choice, and the sweatshirt feels even more impressive when layered over a solid tee—which, as the name suggests, this set pairs perfectly with. The fit is a bit looser than your standard crew neck, but it’s incredibly comfortable and still looks pulled together even after nonstop wear and countless wash cycles.
