Loungewear Guide: How to Style a Crewneck Sweatshirt for Cozy Days

Loungewear is not just for staying home anymore. A great crewneck sweatshirt can take you from your couch to coffee, the airport and brunch with barely any effort. Here is how to build a cozy loungewear wardrobe that still looks put together.

Start with the right crewneck

The foundation of great loungewear is a soft, relaxed crewneck. Look for an easy fit you can layer over a tee or collared shirt. Our Classic Patch Crewneck comes in Cream, Heather Grey, Hunter Green and Black, sizes XS to XL. Size up for an oversized look.

Why a patched sweatshirt elevates loungewear

Plain sweats can look sloppy. A few embroidered patches or a monogram make the same outfit look intentional and styled. It is the difference between "I just rolled out of bed" and "I meant to look this cozy."

6 loungewear outfits

1. Sunday at home

Crewneck, matching sweatpants, fuzzy socks. Pick a patch that makes you smile, like a smiley or a cherry.

2. The coffee run

Crewneck, bike shorts or leggings, clean sneakers, a baseball cap and a canvas tote.

3. Airport outfit

Crewneck, wide-leg joggers, slip-on sneakers and a tote as your personal item. Add a patch for your destination.

4. Casual brunch

Crewneck over a collared shirt, straight-leg jeans and loafers. Very preppy, very easy.

5. Work from home

Crewneck with the collar of a button-down peeking out for video calls, comfy pants for everything below the camera.

6. Cozy date night in

A cream crewneck, silky pajama pants and your favorite movie.

Loungewear color palette tips

  • Heather Grey: the classic. Pair with grey or navy sweats.
  • Cream: soft and elevated. Pair with oatmeal, camel or light-wash denim.
  • Hunter Green: rich and cozy. Pair with cream or grey.
  • Black: sleek and easy. Pair with black or grey.

Caring for your crewneck

Always follow the care label. As a general rule, patched pieces last longest when washed inside out on cold with like colors.

Loungewear makes a great gift

Cozy is always a good idea. A monogrammed crewneck is a thoughtful gift for birthdays, the holidays or a new mom. Read our patched sweatshirt guide or design your crewneck.
