Knitted loungewear sets are the ultimate in low-key luxury
We never thought we'd say it, but knitted loungewear has been somewhat of a staple in 2024. If there's one thing WFH has taught us, it's that making an effort can really boost your mood – and motivation levels. Plus, there's nothing more cosy to wrap yourself up in when the temperatures outside start to drop.
Invest in a knitted lounge set now and you'll feel comfy, but look presentable enough for meetings and running errands. Plus, unlike jersey iterations, these luxurious pieces double up as day and evening-wear too – just swap your joggers for a slip skirt or jeans once you clock off.
The best thing about knitted loungewear is that you can choose just how elevated you want to go. In a dream scenario, we'd all be teaming our cashmere tracksuit with lashings of gold jewellery and a bouncy blow dry, but in reality you'll look just as elegant with a low-sweeping bun and fresh face on lazy days. The set will do all the hard work for you.
If you're unsure, dip your toe in with more affordable high street pieces – you can always graduate onto luxe knitwear brands once they've proved their worth. From Arket to Allude, here are 10 of the best knitted loungewear sets to buy now.
Arket
Arket's loungewear department is one of the best on the high street: it's packed with elegantly crumpled linen separates, recycled cashmere knits and louche satin looks, too. This beige ensemble is ideal for wearing around the house, but the turtleneck jumper will work for off-duty and workwear outfits, too (imagine it paired with the season's key burgundy pieces).

Allude
If anyone knows how to make knitted loungewear it's Allude – the German cashmere brand has based its entire DNA around the luxe natural fibre. Dyed in a versatile taupe hue, this set comes with cuffed joggers and a relaxed hoodie with slit sides.

Chinti and Parker
Chinti & Parker was creating knitted loungewear sets long before lockdown hit. The brand's intarsia designs – ranging from stars to cartoon characters – are a fun addition to your WFH wardrobe, but you can definitely get away with wearing this more sensible navy cashmere style outside of the house.

Eres
If the last few years taught us anything, it's that how we look and feel when WFH can impact our mood considerably. Basically, it's worth investing in luxurious loungewear, however frivolous, for time spent at home. Eres' pointelle-knit set, made from wool and cashmere, is especially useful thanks to its vest – pair it with jeans to differentiate from your off-duty look.

Loewe's range of knitted pieces, exclusive to Net-a-Porter, is now discounted in the winter sales.

It's far too pretty to hide at home – wear yours everywhere from the airport to low-key dinner parties.
