Until the pandemic hit, 99% of my shopping budget was spent on fun dresses and statement tops. My loungewear options were generally ancient pieces I couldn't even remember buying. But, the pace of life is different these days and suddenly loungewear is the only thing I want to buy. The good news is that there are some seriously comfortable loungewear pieces out there that don't sacrifice style — and they are so affordable you can really stock up.

Whether you're in a pants-free mood or want the slinky feeling of a one-piece, you have options when it comes to totally non-constricting pieces. Choose from breezy dresses, cozy joggers, casual rompers, and versatile sweat or bike short sets that allow you to mix and match endlessly. Of course, leggings will always have a seat at the loungewear table, and ones that feel buttery soft are such a treat.

For fabrics, look for anything with rayon for drape, cotton for breathability, and polyester for easy care — because if there's one thing you don't want to deal with right now, it's dry cleaning.

Ahead you'll find 24 on-trend loungewear pieces that you'll want to live in (and may want in every color). The best part: They all cost less than $50.

1This Flowy Lounge Dress With Pockets

The beauty of this lounge dress is that it feels like pajamas but comes with design features that make it perfect for every day.

The flowy, oversized cut comes in a rayon blend so you can curl up on the couch in it, too. One reviewer summed it up, "Supersoft material, very comfortable. Really love it and got several."
