Matching Sets To Sweat In (Or Snuggle In)
Since 2020, we’ve said farewell to our formal wear and a long hellooo to the loungewear trend. We imagine many of you are embracing at-home fashion too, which is why we’ve rounded up our favorite sustainable sweatpants and sweatshirts.
These brands combine style and comfort with sustainable fabrics and ethical production practices. Many use organic, recycled, or responsibly sourced materials, and some offer inclusive sizing and collections for all genders and ages. Best of all, these companies prioritize longevity and quality, meaning less waste and more lounging (yes, please).
For joggers, hoodies, and even matching sweatsuit sets, this list has everything you need to get cozy—get your lounging on, friends.
