The 20 Best Matching Sweatsuit & Lounge Sets To Live In Year-Round
As much as we love playing dress up, slipping in and out of the latest,greatest fashion trends, it is always impossible to resist the appeal of a matching sweatsuit or lounge set. They’re cozy, they’re comfy, they’re cute, and — if made with quality and care — will last you a lifetime. Not to mention, all the purposes they can serve. Existing somewhere between sporty athleisure and a polished co-ord, sweatsuits are an easy shortcut if you are hoping to look casual yet put-together. Throw one on when you can't be bothered to style an outfit, are cramming a week’s worth of chores into one day, working remotely (and need a slightly more polished upgrade to pajamas), or are traveling; sweatpants are a savior for curling up on chilly planes. Even better, the pieces can also be worn individually — which promises endless mix-and-match possibilities when you do have time to deliberate on what to wear.
So, if you’re ready to finally replace those ratty, holey sweats gathering dust in your wardrobe, we’ve got you covered. (No judgment, we all have that one pair that’s seen us through school, college, and countless duvet days). Ahead, find 20 top-quality and stylish sweatsuit sets from retailers we love and trust. We’ve covered all seasons here — from lightweight short sweats and ultra-lightweight cotton lounge sets for summer, to thick, cozy sweat sets for fall and winter hibernation.

As you know, we always have time for Lululemon and have tested out (and fallen in love with) plenty of their activewear and lounge bestsellers. Our Senior Writer Venus Wong, who is often flying for work, swears by Lululemon when traveling — especially the matching Scuba Oversized Half-Zip sweater and joggers, which are made from plush fleecy fabric and have handy design features like thumb holes and deep pockets. Ideal for burrowing down into when up early for a flight.

Anthropologie's brand Daily Practice offers casual loungewear that's incredibly chic and perfect for everyday wear. We have our eyes on this set in a beautiful turquoise green

We’re long-time fans of Free People’s lounge and activewear offerings, right across their various brands (especially FP Movement and Free-est), and so, it’s often difficult to narrow down our selection. It was this lightweight knit set that won us over though. Available in an assortment of colors, from easy neutrals to bold and bright, it’s light enough for summer heatwaves and to wear to the beach, but also for curling up with a good book on a cooler day at home. Aka perfect for your vacation packing.

Everyone loves Abercrombie for its jeans, but few know that the brand also offers activewear and loungewear — especially plenty of stylish matching sets. Their sweatsuits are made with something called neoKNIT, which is a special fabric made from layers of sweat-wicking neoprene, meaning that it feels thick and cozy to wear, but is also suited for getting active (perfect for your daily hot girl walks, especially with the matching sweatshirt, not pictured here).

GAP makes some of the best athleisure staples (after all, they’re best known for their iconic GAP logo hoodies). This two-piece is our favorite for its loose, oversized fit and the slight crop of the hoodie (which hits the waistband of your jeans perfectly, if worn separately).
Italic is our go-to for luxury unbranded goods. They partner directly with manufacturers and act as a conduit for customers, bypassing the middleman and cutting out unnecessary costs for both. This means you can buy a 100% cashmere lounge set like this for less than $250; one that has been crafted by a manufacturer who has, in the past, supplied the likes of Maje and Sandro.
