The loungewear edit
Luxury comfort and everyday ease: a guide to loungewear for women.
Elevated to hero status, loungewear is an established part of the everyday wardrobe and a practical choice for travelling, working or running errands in the city. As the colder months approach and naturally more time is spent indoors, tactile materials and sumptuous layers are front of mind, cementing loungewear as a wise investment for the season.
WHAT IS LOUNGEWEAR?
The COS loungewear collection spans silk pyjamas, cashmere pieces and matching lounge sets, all made with an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship. Considered materials are at the core of the collection, which puts a focus on comfort and everyday ease: insulating wool, soft cashmere and breathable cotton lay the foundations. The silhouettes are relaxed yet refined, and every detail is thoughtfully designed, ensuring each piece is made to last.
THE PREMIUM PYJAMAS
Good quality pyjamas are essential during any season, but particularly in the winter months when time spent lounging at home is considered the ultimate luxury. The COS sleepwear collection for women is defined by casual layers in premium fabrics and made to be worn continuously year-round.
This season’s pinstriped pyjama trousers are a classic nighttime staple. Crafted from soft and breathable cotton, they're cut in a menswear-inspired relaxed shape with a drawstring waistband for ease. Wear them with a simple white tank for unrivalled comfort, or pair them with the matching shirt for slow mornings or weekends away.
THE KNITTED SET
When it comes to everyday winter dressing, the knitted loungewear set holds effortless appeal. Often considered a reliable staple for long-haul flights or working from home, the right design can be elevated enough to wear out in the city when dressed up with polished accessories.
Presented in a rich chocolate hue for the new season, the pure cashmere set is the epitome of understated ease. It’s spun from luxuriously soft cashmere that has been certified by the Good Cashmere Standard®. The intentional details and modern proportions are what makes it special: a high neck and neat ribbed trims give definition to the slouchy silhouette, while the elasticated waistband and wide-leg shape feel effortless yet assertive.
THE LUXURIOUS LAYER
No winter loungewear collection would be complete without a versatile layering piece – one that can easily be slipped on under a wool coat for appointments or comfortably lounged in at home. Come spring, it’ll serve as the only layer you’ll need.
The waisted knitted bomber jacket is one such piece: it’s crafted from pure merino wool – known for its soft, fine feel and naturally breathable qualities – and has a sporty design that leans just the right side of loungewear. An exaggerated foldover spread collar, rounded batwing sleeves and silver-tone zip elevate it from everyday staple to winter hero.
THE TIMELESS CARDIGAN
The cardigan has gone from unassuming everyday piece to wardrobe icon in recent years, and its quiet power remains strong for the new season. From slouchy, chunky styles to lighter knits, the COS loungewear collection spans a range of iterations, but for Winter 2024 the design team champions cocooning silhouettes for inviting tactility.
From the latest collection, the oversized cardigan is knitted from boiled merino wool for unparalleled warmth; its enveloping shape is emphasised with rounded, dropped shoulders. Whether in timeless black or a versatile grey tone, it’ll layer seamlessly over tank tops and T-shirts – or a knitted bralette and shorts for restful nights at home.

THE SOPHISTICATED SWEATSUIT
The styling possibilities of a simple sweatsuit are not to be ignored: worn as a matching set it will lend itself to downtime; individually, each piece can be dressed up with more formal elements or styled with denim for a casual weekend slant.
While rooted in classic leisurewear, the crew-neck sweatshirt and coordinating joggers are designed with considered materials and thoughtful details: they're crafted from soft organic- and recycled-cotton jersey and cut in a relaxed shape, emphasised with a dropped shoulder and a directional barrel leg. An oversized clutch and leather flats will elevate the look beyond the realm of loungewear.
THE SILK PYJAMA SET
The COS design team considers every detail when creating the nightwear collection: meticulous attention to fabric, cut and fit determines the comfort of every piece.
For the most luxurious, barely-there feel, this season’s pyjama set is bias-cut from soft mulberry silk and finished with delicate straps and a sheer V-neck panel. Intended to be worn with the matching shirt and trousers for nights in, the camisole will double as an elegant ready-to-wear piece for evenings out.
