Ethical loungewear brands to keep you comfortable

Loungewear has had an incredible surge in the past year, and rightly so. The ultimate comfort and stylish design offered by loungewear is welcomed with open arms by many, including myself. Loungewear provides functionality and coziness which is a pretty perfect combo that allows you to feel your best while on a Zoom call.

Sourcing ethical and sustainable loungewear can prove a problem when you want it to function as clothing rather than pyjamas. Ethical and sustainable also means more than fair wages and fabric choices. It means transparency, sustainable dyes and packaging, limited runs, and safe workplaces for staff throughout the supply chain.

We’ve put together our favourite brands producing loungewear that is on-trend and responsible.
