New & Lingwood Lime Leaves Silk Dressing Gown
Image Credit: New & Lingwood New & Lingwood’s silk robes are a one-of-a-kind. Each is made by hand at a small workshop in England using heavy-weight silk spun by a centuries-old mill in Suffolk, south of London, which can trace its roots back to a family of Huguenot silk merchants. They are unashamedly luxurious, beautifully made, and available in strictly limited numbers.

Connolly Lightweight Cashmere Blouson

Said cashmere is an exclusive fabric, woven in Scotland to Connolly’s strict specification with a touch of stretch for comfort, while the blouson is lined in featherweight technical nylon that both insulates and allows the wearer to breathe. Matching drawstring trousers are available too.

De Bonne Facture Tailored Drawstring Trousers

John Lobb ‘Knighton’ Cashmere Suede Slippers

Worked into a pair of open-heel slippers made on a form-fitting John Lobb last, these are a real treat to wear. Plus, the soles are cushioned for extra softness as you pad around the house.

Hamilton and Hare Terrycloth Hoodie
Image Credit: Hamilton and Hare Indie brand Hamilton & Hare is making a name for itself in luxe loungewear, and this gray marl hoodie is the perfect modern take on an off-duty classic. It’s cut from fluffy cotton terrycloth rather than conventional jersey, which is, if anything, even softer and more comfortable to wear.

Loro Piana Cashmere and Silk Sweat Pants
Image Credit: Loro Piana No luxe loungewear edit would be complete without at least a smattering of Loro Piana, and these sweat pants offer next-level comfort. They are cut in a tapered fit from an extraordinarily fine cashmere-and-silk jersey, woven in-house by Loro Piana in Piedmont, Italy. These things need to be touched to be believed, grab a pair before they all disappear.

Crockett & Jones ‘Lion Rampant’ Velvet Albert Slippers
Image Credit: Crockett & Jones Named after Queen Victoria’s beloved Prince Albert, who supposedly popularized the style in the 19th century, Crockett & Jones’s velvet Albert slippers are lovingly made by a specialist workshop in the UK, using the finest cotton velvet with quilted linings and leather soles. Finished with gold bullion embroidery of a rampant lion (a suitably defiant symbol for these strange times) these are as swish as house shoes get.
