Chill Out in Ethical Loungewear

In our modern culture, relaxation time is limited: between all our commitments and musts, relaxing often takes a backseat. So when you do get some precious chill-out time, the last thing you want is to be hindered by uncomfortable clothes. Little details such as what we are wearing can make the difference between feeling slightly tense and supremely comfy – and great loungewear is the answer.

By Sascha Camilli 

Ethically made loungewear can be made from materials such as organic cotton, hemp, linen and other naturally derived fabrics that are breathable, resistant and kinder to the environment. Design-wise, vegan loungewear has really stepped up its game: from calming, neutral colours to slouchy, relaxed designs made for chilling, this is loungewear you'll want to go out in.
