As much as we love diving headfirst into the latest fashion trends, there’s no denying the magnetic pull of a matching set — from sweatsuits to loungewear sets — especially during the fall and winter. They’re cozy, they’re comfy, they’re cute — and, when made with quality and care, they’re built to last. Plus, they’re versatile! Toeing the line between sporty athleisure and polished co-ords, sweatsuits are the ultimate shortcut to looking casual yet put-together.
Throw one on when you can't be bothered to style an outfit for running errands, going to workout classes, or attending a baseball game. Working remotely and need to feel slightly more “dressed” than your pajamas? Problem solved. And on travel days? Sweat sets are an MVP for curling up on chilly flights. Bonus: You can break up a set and wear each piece separately, unlocking endless mix-and-match potential for those moments when you actually want to plan an outfit.
If you’re ready to retire those ratty, hole-y sweats that have seen you through college and countless days under your duvet (no judgment — we’ve all got that pair), consider yourself covered. Ahead, discover 20 top-quality, stylish sweatsuits and lounge sets from retailers we love and trust, like Lululemon and Gap (plus more luxe options, like Lunya and Skims).
So whether you’re looking for cotton sets, waffle knit co-ords, or fleece layers for indoor hibernation mode and outdoorsy fall activities, you’ll find your new go-to outfit right here.

I’ve never been much of a festival girlie. It’s not because I don’t love live music (I do); Between big crowds (I’m barely 5’2 and main stage GA is not the most short-girl-friendly situation), prolonged time in the sun, and expensive food and drinks (in this economy?!), I always resolved to a life of catching the action on social media from the safety of my couch. However, when T-Mobile invited me to experience Austin City Limits the magenta way, I jumped at the chance. It felt like kismet: I’ve been a T-Mobile girlie for years, and as a newly-minted Texan (I moved to Dallas during the summer), what could be more fun that getting to channel my inner cowgirl at the state’s biggest music festival?
Ahead, join me as I document three days of discovering my festival style, and how to try the look out for yourself.
Day One: Floral Frontier
The first thing I kept in mind when packing for ACL was that it was going to be hot. As in, 90-degrees-in-direct-sunlight hot. In general, I love to “shop” my closet — I’m a proud outfit repeater — and found an old Reformation dress I bought at a sample sale ages ago but never worn. (Here‘s a similar one in linen.) Paired with my favorite Tecovas cowboy boots (also from my closet, a gift from when I moved to Dallas), I decided to lean into the yee-haw vibes with a chocolate bandana I got at Free People.
Day Two: Lace & Leather
For day two, I decided to go for an off-duty cowgirl look featuring a romantic lace tank and faux suede fringe micro shorts, both from Free People. (This is not an #ad, I just genuinely love the brand!) I recently found the cutest cowboy hat ever at Anthropologie — it works as a neutral but has teeny-tiny sequins sewn throughout for a hint of sparkle. It was a total compliment magnet, and also helped keep me cool during a day of truly incredible sets seen from the T-Mobile stage. (Also keeping me cool: The AC, fans, and drink stations at Club Magenta — in the club, we’re all fam!)
Day Three: Midnight Rodeo
My last festival outfit was a bit of a departure from my usual jeans-and-a-tee everyday style, but when at ACL right? This look was vaguely inspired by Lainey Wilson’s 2023 CMA outfit, a black Carolina Herrera strapless jumpsuit with dramatic bell-bottom flares. I found (or rather, they found me via Instagram ad) these lace wide-leg pants on Amazon, which ended up being a perfect choice since they were airy and breathable. I styled it with a DKNY corset top in black satin — another old closet find, but Abercrombie & Fitch has a similar style I love. I wore the same Anthropologie cowboy hat from the previous day, plus a black silk bandana tied around my wrist to tie (heh) everything together.
Final Thoughts
All in all, I left my first Austin City Limits feeling more confident in incorporating Western and Americana elements in my outfits, and can’t wait to continue experimenting with my personal style in my new city. And as much as I enjoy shopping for an upcoming trip/date/event, I also loved repurposing what I already had, and figuring out new ways to style existing pieces in my closet. Same time next year?

Get whisked away from mundane days and adult responsibilities, even if just for a moment, with the upcoming Gap x Sandy Liang collaboration.
Announced via an animated short film created by Annie Choi, Liang’s childhood in New York is reimagined through a nostalgic lens. We see her sketching before her own “dream closet” comes to life with new clothes that empower her before she captures a shooting star. The aesthetic and playfulness perfectly captures Liang’s signature whimsical designs.
“‘Sandy’s Dream Closet’ illustrates how wearing Gap made me feel growing up as I imagined being an adult one day and who I could be,” Liang said in a press release. “I wanted to take the pieces that meant something to me as a kid and reimagine them through my lens today — celebrating girlhood in all its forms, while honoring the iconic styles that make Gap so timeless.”
Known for her feminine aesthetic via pastels, ruffles, and bows, Liang is bringing her style to Gap via a trench coat with an oversized bow, a Mary Jane ballet flat-printed sweater, and a denim baseball cap with “star” written in Gap’s logo font. You’ll also find Gap essentials, like fleece hoodies and wide-leg jeans with the Liang treatment (AKA bow stitching and the designer’s first name). And don’t forget about the children (not just your inner child) — there will be online-exclusive baby and toddler styles, like a onesie, sweatsuit, and spotted fur jacket (which matches the womenswear style lower down).
“Sandy Liang has cultivated both an engaged community and an iconic design perspective, which has allowed her to reimagine our heritage pieces into something entirely new, yet familiar,” said President and CEO of Gap, Mark Breitbard, in the release.
The apparel collection will range between $15 and $268, available in select stores and online on October 10 and 9 a.m. EST. But Gap cardholders can get exclusive early access to shop online or in the Gap app on October 9 at 12 p.m. EST. So be sure to have your credit card ready, because this collab is bound to sell out immediately!

With summer just around the corner, it's a great time to try out a shorter and lighter style. Here are the best haircut trends from PFW for you to bring to your stylist.
