This semi- lockdown has brought the inner introvert out in many of us. And choosing to stay home means less of a stress on figuring out our OOTD's.
But now that our daily routine consists some elements of lazing around the house, here's your chance to elevate your loungewear while staying at home.
At this point, the comfy streetwear trend is pretty much everywhere around us, so sweatpants sets, baggy crewneck sweaters, and cotton crop tops can easily be bought at fast fashion stores.
For us, we're looking at some unique labels with loungewear that's as fashionable as they are comfortable.
1. Benjamin Barker X SOJAO
Two Singaporean super brands, organic bedsheet brand SOJAO and smart-casual menswear, Benjamin Barker, team up to bring you a polished collection of loungewear.
