I live in this cosy John Lewis loungewear set that's only £17.60
The comfy set is my favourite WFH outfit and is currently a bargain.
As someone whose job is almost completely remote, I spend a lot of time working from home.
When working from home my uniform typically consists of pyjamas or tracksuit bottoms and a cosy jumper. Chic, I know.
While I'll always make an effort to look smart while staying comfortable working from my living room, I'm wary of spending a lot of money on clothes that, let's face it, no one but me will ever see.
However, earlier this year I stumbled across an affordable loungewear set from John Lewis. Usually costing £22 (but now reduced to an even more affordable £17.60), I added the set to my basket in the hope it would make me feel more put together.
ANYDAY Zara Jersey Lounge Set: Quick Overview
🛍️ Product reviewed: ANYDAY Zara Jersey Lounge Set
⏰ Tested it for: Nine months
⭐ Rating: 5/5
💸 Reasons to buy: It's super soft and cosy, but still feels put together
✋ Reasons to avoid: The trousers are slightly see through, so you may want to avoid going outside without a long cardigan or coat
💰 Best deal we've found: The lounge suit has been reduced by 20% in John Lewis's January sale, so it's now a bargain £17.60
When it arrived a few days later, I was immediately impressed with how comfortable the cut was and how soft the fabric felt. I'm now considering buying a second set.
💸 Reasons to buy
It's a two piece set comprised of a long sleeve top and trousers, which have a thick, elasticated waistband and small pockets either side.
Made from a super soft jersey, it's cosy and warm without making you feel too hot and the long-sleeved top has a relaxed fit and a drop shoulder.
I opted for the black version, but it's also available in pink, blue and green and comes in sizes 8 to 18.
Together it looks like a smart co-ord, so when I have a zoom call, I don't need to make a quick change into a more professional top.
Best of all, it washes well, doesn't bobble and is quick to dry, meaning you can wash it and be wearing it again in less than 36 hours.
With a holiday coming up, I also plan to wear it on the plane - it's the perfect compromise between pyjamas and a smart casual look.
✋ Reasons to avoid
As much as I love it, it would be remiss of me not to mention that the trousers are a tad see-through.
This is no bother when WFH, but you would need to wear a long cardigan or coat if you plan to go outside in it.
💰 Best deals we've found
As this is an item from John Lewis' own brand Anyday, you won't be able to find the exact thing anywhere else. Unsurprisingly, the set has been incredibly popular since it launched in 2022, so we'd recommend snapping it up while it's in stock in your size.
As part of John Lewis January sale the already affordable set has been reduced by 20%, taking it down from £22 to just £17.60. This is the lowest price we've ever seen the set, on Black Friday last year it was only reduced by 15% to £18.70. Definitely a deal worth snapping up.
It works out at just £8.80 per item, which is an utter bargain.
Comfy and cosy, this lounge set is just what you need in your winter wardrobe (and it's now an absolute bargain).
John Lewis also have a somewhat updated version of it for 2023, which is a three piece set for just £46. However, it is now also reduced by 20%, so you can currently snap it up for £36.80.
Customers say it fits true to size and love how comfortable it is. It also comes in three colours: khaki green, grey and oatmeal.
