These flannels and solids have way more potential for cozy fits than a lazy Sunday…

Yes, I’ve been known to slip around Paris in pajamas, turning silky sleepwear pieces into black-tie-optional attire. So, it didn’t come as a huge surprise when I encountered a similar urge to let these featherlight flannel Sunday Morning boxer shorts and sleep shirt sets do double-duty during the holidays.

Of course, they’re cozy in their most straightforward use as loungewear, to be mixed and matched for a rainbow of easygoing plaids and solids. There’s room to roam in their silhouettes which makes them an easy choice for gifting (and a print for every personality).

Still, after wearing them 24/7 holed up snacking over Thanksgiving, the effortlessness built into their design extends to more than just sleeping, if you dream a little.

The shirts have crisp collars, dropped shoulders, and high-low hems that can be layered over thermals or under chunky sweaters for trips outdoors, too. Throw an oversize Inspire Tee on top of the pale blue plaid, for example, and the look reads I’m-With-The-Band as soon as a black vinyl or recycled leather pant enters the picture. It’s relaxed, it’s comfy, it’s the opposite of “try hard.” For days where a trip to the coffee shop is more realistic than an underground rock block, a Dad jean will do just fine in the same equation.

I’ve already spoken with many a stylist about the resurgence of boxers as daywear, something we’ve seen all over TikTok this year. Perhaps the best thing about the Sunday Morning boxers is that they’re nipped at the waist and cuffed at the hem with a wide-leg opening, which makes any fitted top ultra-flattering. I like pairing the printed versions with a skintight Clean Lines Long Sleeve and Field Day Over-the-Knee Socks for a grunge-y babe combo while working from home to feel a little polished, yet appropriately outfitted for a stretch session between deadlines.

And as temperatures drop and the need to dress in layers that let you move without feeling stuffed into a ski suit on the way out the door, the solid shorts (like Lavender Love) pulled over a black activewear onesie with a set of Arebesk Ruffle Leg Warmers and floofy cropped jacket reads as a balletcore-inspired ensemble for errands or pilates class. They’re basically a chill version of a wrap skirt complete with an elasticized waist.

Plus, wherever you go, whatever cushion you encounter, you’re always prepared for a power nap. And that’s the real life of luxury worth sharing.
