I’m the self-proclaimed grandma of my friend group. Most Saturday nights, I'd rather stay at home on my couch under a blanket than venture out to meet up for drinks. (And if there happens to be a newKorean drama series or movieout, then youdefinitelywon't see me.) Lounging around is the best feeling ever because it doesn't require you to get too dressed up or even muster up the effort to put lotion on your face. But on the off-chance that you need to step outside your home, you can now lounge in both comfort and style. Browse through our favorite cozy "couch outfits," then shop the exact pieces. If you are forever a homebody, then FYI: Marie Claire editors have the bestwork from home outfit ideastoo.

Sweatpants are the ultimate lazy-girl staple and almost everyone has a pair. (If you don't,here are our recs.) To turnyour sweats into a cuteoutfit you can leave your house in—trips to the grocery store for snacks are essential—wear it with a coordinating pullover shirt or hoodie. Full sweat sets instantly make you look pulled together and take the stress out of rummaging through your closet for something that matches. You can even take the "cute" factor one step further into cool territory likeRihanna by styling your set with heels.

A Workout Set

Matching workout sets make me happy and are personally part of myWFH and weekend wardrobe. Just like a sweats set, slipping into a coordinating workout top and bottom takes away the pain of getting dressed. You know everything matches alreadyandyou know you look good/feel comfortable. If heeled booties aren't for you, stick to sneakers and sandals. Feeling cold? Layer a cute athleisure jacket over your set.
