Materials, design, and fit: what's the difference?
When we talk about cosy loungewear or at-home comfort clothing, we immediately think of soft, enveloping fabrics: high-quality cotton, fleece, jersey and sometimes cashmere. These pieces are designed for relaxation, often featuring loose fits such as joggers, wide-leg trousers, oversized hoodies or soft knitwear. According to Autumn/Winter 2025 fashion trend reports, loungewear focuses on relaxed cuts and clean lines, without giving up a refined aesthetic.
In the sporty luxury version, however, the game changes: technical materials, performance features and structure take centre stage. Think polyester track pants with side stripes, lightweight logo hoodies, padded bombers and stretchy leggings that contour the silhouette. Brands like Palm Angels offer polyester track pants with monogram detailing — a perfect example of the fusion between comfort and street-luxury style.
The fit also differs: loungewear favours soft, relaxed silhouettes, while sporty luxury embraces a more structured and technical approach, without sacrificing that luxurious allure.
