Luxe Loungewear

Polly Knight, fashion editor

“I’ve always been one of those people who thought, ‘Oh, imagine not having to commute, putting on your tracksuit and sitting on the sofa with your laptop and a cuppa.’ This isn’t the way I would have wanted that sentiment to come to fruition but this is the reality we are currently faced with. So I’m sticking to my word and making comfort my key priority.

My usual office get-up involves high-waisted trousers – tailored or denim – and sturdy stomper boots, but neither of those are making the comfort cut. Instead, I am sticking to my tracksuit theory but elevating it, so that it is comfort with intention. And wearing a matching set makes me feel a little more put together. I am opting for a cashmere tracksuit with a supersized scarf (each day I find a new way of wearing it), keeping on my usual layers of gold jewellery, huggies, bracelets and necklaces, and padding around the house in fluffy Birkenstocks rather than slippers. The overall look is a mix between frequent flyer and quick Co-op run.”
