The Sustainable Loungewear Guide

What is Loungewear?

Loungewear represents the ultimate blend of comfort and wearable and sits between the categories of athleisure and sleepwear. Considered suitable for home, work and weekend wear, women’s loungewear has continued to evolve with tailored specifications for a more stylish, wear-anywhere take. Whether you prefer a more casual, sporty look or are seeking a little more glamour from your WFH ensembles, a considered loungewear approach can master the balance of cosy and chic, pared back and put-together. Explore our range of relaxed pants and kimono sets, transeasonal knitwear and organic tees designed to mix and match for your own take on this popular style category.

Why should your loungewear be sustainable?

Often on high rotation, these pieces should be well loved and timeless for decades of wear. Better still, select lounge apparel cut from conscious fabrications including Recycled (GRS) Cotton, Organic (GOTS) Cotton, Organic (GOTS) Linen and Hemp – all materials at the top of the MAURIE + EVE fibre matrix.

Essential Loungewear Items

Have you explored our ‘Peace’ series? Cut from 100% GOTS certified organic fabrications, these women’s loungewear pieces feature a series of exclusive prints from fellow female artists and are designed to manifest mindful intentions wherever you go. The series includes cosy sweaters and our signature oversized Tees for mum and mini. Style yours with pre-loved denim or underpin your favourite blazer through the cooler months.

LOUNGEWEAR SETS

It has been said that ‘dressing for the office’ can power productivity. Working from home? Ignite creativity in relaxed, 2-piece lounge sets with just the right amount of polish. The Indus Kimono and Pant set features a soft burst of Lemon to stimulate mind and mantras and looks just as chic with bare feet as a low strapped sandal. For a sportier take, pair the Inner Peace Tee in Cream with the Sun and Moon Knit Short in Mustard.

Loungewear 3 Ways

Sets

MAURIE AND EVE is known for elevated women's loungwear that can walk from bedroom to bar with just a few small adjustments.

Oversized Tees

Our signature oversized t-shirts are wanted worldwide for their soft to touch comfortability and message for people and planet. Cut from BCI cotton and 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, our multi wear t-shirts are designed for a lifetime of wear.

Knit Shorts

Mix and Match easy-going Tees and close-fit knitted shorts for stately afternoon style. Cut from a variety of planet-friendly materials, our women's shorts are the perfect combination of easygoing and elevated with soft tailoring accents across breezy silhouettes.

How To Wear Loungewear Out

1. Accessorise, Accessorise, Accessorise

The right accessories can completely transform an outfit. While that sweater and knitted biker short might scream Yoga time, add a pair of oversized sunglasses, edgy combat boots and layered gold jewellery, and you’ve made athleisure instantly chic.

2. Make it Monochrome

A main reason suits look so sophisticated is their head-to-toe colour approach. Make it a set and instantly up the sophistication factor.

3. Layer it Up 

Layers scream style. Layer your Teach Peace purchase with an oversized blazer or try converting your Tee into a crop by simply tucking it up into your (super comfy) sports bra. This will create an additional layer to play with, allowing you to underpin an oversized shirt such as the Ride Out Shirt without making an additional purchase. Remember, the most sustainable item is the one already in your wardrobe!
