Trend of the week: Lounge lovers

Sofa surfing for the sartorially minded, says Annmarie O’Connor.

INSPIRATION

Finally! It’s time to trade in high heels and sparkly dresses for a week of cocoa drinking, selection box binging and epic Net­flix nights.

So wrap up in thine snugglies, grab the good telly seat and prepare to nestle in.

Oh, just make sure your lounge wear looks the part.

After all, tis also the season for unannounced visits.

Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered...

STYLE NOTES

Enhance that feel good factor with skin-soft fabrics like velour, cashmere, brushed cotton and satin.

Expecting visitors? Swap out your ­fleece robe for a wool cardigan coat and slip on a pair of cashmere jim jam bottoms. No one will ever know!

Prefer more price-savvy PJs? Heatons offer a selection of mix-and match sets for lovely lounge-worthy layering.

Not bothered? Get into the spirit of things with a good aul pair of novelty slippers. Hey, someone’s got to keep the party going!
