Cozy fits are having a good year in 2020, especially since we're forced to quarantine in our homes due to COVID-19. We’ve gone from taking meetings in actual clothes to logging into Zoom calls wearing crewneck sweaters, sweatpants, and anything oversized. Now that the temperatures are dropping, we have more of an excuse to crank the comfy levels up a notch.
Whether you need to spruce up your hoodie collection or want more sweatpants to lounge in, we've rounded up a list of the best cozy sweatsuits to add to your arsenal. Check out the list below.
Melody Ehsani
Where to Buy It: melodyehsani.com
Price: $80 (hoodies), $75 (sweatpants)
Since expanding into apparel, Melody Ehsani hasn't disappointed. The L.A.-based designer is known for her sneaker collaborations and accessories, but her apparel is just as vibrant. She mixes bright and neutral colors with each of her collections, which tend to sell out quickly, and uses her apparel to make a statement, utilizing powerful phrases like "The power of the people is greater than the people in power" and "God is my favorite designer." In terms of hoodies and sweatpants, they are bomb. You can expect to find colors ranging from buttercream to acid lime to pistachio.
Girlfriend Collective
Where to Buy It: girlfriend.com
Price: $68 (sweatshirt), $78 (joggers)
Want to feel comfortable and not deal with fast fashion guilt? Girlfriend Collective is your go-to. Just about every product on their site is eco-friendly, including their classic hoodie and joggers, which are made from a soft blend of recycled and organic cotton and are garment-dyed for a worn-in finish. We also applaud their range of sizes and model diversity. Good quality, inclusivity, and a reasonable price? Can't beat that.
Golden Girly Shop
Where to Buy It: Instagram (taking orders through DMs) and Depop
Price: $35 and up for a custom bra, $55 and up for custom bottoms
Black-owned cozy boutique Golden Girly Shop is home to custom pieces you won’t find anywhere else. The shop can design a sweatsuit exclusively for you. All you need to do is pick the material (fleece or terry cloth), choose a color, and select between shorts or sweatpants. They also give you the option to add a special Golden Girly Shop patch on the clothing for an extra $20.
Come Back as a Flower
Where to Buy It: www.cbaaf.org, Bandier, Urban Outfitters
Price: Oatmeal hoodie & sweatpants set $390
Named after Stevie Wonder's song, Come Back as a Flower is the brainchild of Esper Knows. The L.A.-based brand, who specializes in tie-dye, is rooted in Black spiritualism and sustainability. Every piece in the CBAAF world is made with recycled cotton and hand-dyed—a skill he acquired when he spent nine months at a spiritual commune. Fan favorites like ASAP Rocky and Big Sean have been spotted wearing Esper's creations, and he aims to turn CBAAF into an American luxury house that's a leader in sustainability.
Entireworld
Where to Buy It: theentireworld.com
Price: $88 (sweatshirt), $88 (sweatpants)
Entireworld not only has a cool name, but they also have sweatsuits to match that vibe. Launched in 2018 by former Band of Outsiders designer Scott Stenberg, Entireworld is much different from BOS. Instead of designing tailored jackets that cost up to $1,800 apiece, Stenberg now creates everyday clothing essentials like these sweats at a more affordable price point. To add, Entireworld lives by a mission that promotes sustainability and transparency with their customers.
Asos Design
Where to Buy It: Asos.com
Price: starting at $23 (sweatshirts), starting at $35 (sweatpants)
Browsing through ASOS might be quite overwhelming, but they do have a great selection of sweatshirts and sweatpants. The British e-commerce giant expanded its reach to the U.S. with their own namesake label, including ASOS DESIGN. This line offers everyday wardrobe staples, like this matching hoodie and sweatpants set.
Ahluwalia
Where to Buy It: Ssense
Price: $520 (sweatshirt), $505 (lounge pants)
London-born, Nigerian-Indian designer Priya Ahluwalia launched her label in 2018 and quickly caught the fashion industry's attention with her eco-conscious approach to design. Though it's a bit on the expensive side, Ahluwalia experiments with recycled textiles to bring her pieces to life. Whether it's a sweater or pants, each item features mismatched fabrics and juxtaposing pattern combinations.
Uniqlo U
Where to Buy It: Uniqlo.com
Price: $39.90 (sweatshirt), $29.90 (sweatpant)
To no surprise, Uniqlo makes it on our list for its affordable price point and good quality. For just $60, you can snag yourself a full sweatsuit. *runs to checkout*
Sweats by Sam
Where to Buy It: sweatsbysam.com
Price: $75 for set
Samantha Harper, a student at Drexel University, started her own clothing line after ruining her favorite pair of white sweatpants and tie-dying them. Alas, Sweats by Sam was born. Each piece is made to order and dyed by hand with multiple colors, creating these beautiful, bold patterns that are an IG fave.
Adidas
Where to buy it: shop.complex.com
Price: $304 for the set
Adidas is known for its tracksuits, and this grey, black, and white version is comfy enough to wear inside, but stylish enough to rock while running a few errands with side zip pockets on both the jacket and pants. And it has a hidden surprise: it's reflective. That might not be the most useful detail when you are quarantined inside, but very good to have for a night jog or walk.
Total Luxury Spa
Where to buy it: TotalLuxurySpa.com
Price: Sweatshirt ($100) Sweatpants ($120)
You can always count on Total Luxury Spa, an LA-based brand co-founded by
Daniel DeSure and Hassan Rahim, to offer your customary T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and sweatsuits, but they always come with a message and give back to the community. This particular set features graphics from the Earth Embassy, a fictional space that promotes free thinking, meditation, no boundaries and friendship. It's a nice concept to imagine whenever you glance at your cozy sweats.
7 Days Active
Where to buy it: 7DaysActive.com
Price: Sweatshirt is $130; sweatpants are $130
If the 7 Days Active name doesn't make it obvious, this brand, founded by creative director Malkit Singh in Coppenhagen, is all about remaining stylish and active every day of the week. The unisex sweatsuit comes in colors like hot pink, hunter green, and a brick red, and they feature subtle design details that give the set a '90s fit. And they are made from organic cotton.
