Words: Charlie Thomas
Believe it or not gentlemen, there are times when a bespoke suit and finely polished oxfords are not appropriate. For times when you just want to lounge around the house or even potter to the local corner shop, smart loungewear is a viable option. Here are 5 of the ultimate lounge wear brands…
SUNSPEL,
Sunspel have been making top-notch essentials for over 150 years, so it’s no surprise they can produce a stylish sweatpant. These are constructed from the finest cashmere for a luxurious feel and their flattering cut ensures they are not just limited to the home.

SLOWEAR,
Similar to Sunspel, Italian brand Slowear are renowned for their classic staple pieces. This jumper’s hair-raising price is backed up by its unrelenting quality – it’s essentially the Rolls Royce of the knitwear world.

DEREK ROSE,
Perhaps the most revered underwear brand of all, Derek Rose offer uncompromising opulence. This versatile, light grey t-shirt can be paired with pretty much anything and it’s made from micro modal making it incredibly soft to touch.

Another brand who pride themselves on ‘proper basics’, Etiquette Clothiers offer a range of lounge wear pieces, our favourite of which is this long-sleeved henley t-shirt.
