From Victorian times where men would retreat to their studies with smoking jackets to the bulky dressing gowns of the 1940s that women could wear around their homes, the history of loungewear has existed predominantly behind closed doors. Only in the 1970s did it become acceptable to wear loungewear outside the house, but people were relegated to baggy gym clothes and bulky track suits. However, in a world where relaxation is harder to attain than ever before, the idea of casual wear has evolved from frumpy to easy-to-wear everyday looks. Modern loungewear is now chic and comfortable with a wide range of styles ranging from camis to pants to fashionable wraps.
The advent of modern loungewear started with the use of more practical and comfortable materials including cottons, lycras and rib knit. These materials, once reserved for the gym, combined with more stylish designs, have made loungewear trendy and more acceptable for wearing outside of the house. People enjoy and appreciate the comfort that it affords and for superior comfort, consider bamboo for your fabric choice.
Viscose from bamboo is luxuriously soft against the skin which is perfect after a long day at work to help you relax. Bamboo fabric is also fantastic at wicking moisture and absorbing odor to help keep you comfortable if you choose to run errands. (This also extends the time between washings for your clothing, giving you more time for yourself!) And bamboo fabric is thermo-regulating, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, so it can be worn year-round. No more time spent unpacking and packing away your seasonal clothes!
