From sudden homeschooling to scary headlines to just trying to keep busy and sane, it's imperative to find joy during time of turmoil like this health crisis. It's a reality that celebrity mothers like Chrissy Teigen aren't even exempt from. For some, that comes by keeping the kids occupied with tons of things to do. For others, that comes in the form of self-care — doing something for oneself. This should happen often for moms, but we figured part of self-care these days would include cozy loungewear.
After all, the one time we're all forced to stay inside calls for comfortable clothing — but we're not just talking about pajamas. Loungewear is a cool middle ground that is as easy and comfortable to wear as PJs but can still look somewhat put together. We came up with a list of some of the most highly recommended loungewear for hanging out at home that any mom can feel better wearing.
