Get comfy! How curling up on the sofa became the height of fashion

The onset of winter is enough to make even the most sociable of us want nothing more after work than a simple formula: sofa, sweatpants, and a series on the laptop. Guess what? That is not a cop-out this year. Sofa dressing is the off-duty look for 2018.

The fashion site Man Repeller calls it “sleepleisure” and is in favour of it. So is the retailer Farfetch. “It’s a reflection of a big shift towards comfort,” says Celenie Seidel, Farfetch’s market editor. You could also credit Kendall Jenner and Rihanna, with their XXXXL hoodies, and Hailey Baldwin in a tracksuit at the airport.

The move to reclaim comfort clothes for outside the home has been underway for ages. But now it is the clothes you reserve for a night in front of the box that are in the frame. You know the kind – the big T-shirt you have had for ages, teamed with leggings. The grey trackies and matching hoodie. The comfy nightdress you change into way before bedtime.

This trend presents as the opposite of the perfectly tasteful, definitely-very-expensive loungewear of your best life as presented on Instagram. There is no need for perfectly groomed hair and makeup here. Instead, this is a situation for a topknot, no makeup, and a jade roller to hand.

Right now, considering what you wear around only your inner circle feels more modern than dressing to impress strangers in a bar – and, let’s be honest, Instagram sneaks in here. Thanks to the bathroom selfie and #iwokeuplikethis humblebrags, nowhere is off-limits from the feed. As Man Repeller puts it: “Innerwear is outerwear because what we do inside is no longer private.” 

怎麼舒服怎麼來!窩沙發 look 成為尖端時尚

冬季的到來,足以讓平常最愛社交的人兒下班後都只求一個簡單的三件套:沙發、運動褲和電腦裡放著的連續劇。你猜怎麼著?今年,這樣穿不再是逃避真實世界的行為了,“沙發裝”是 2018 年時下風頭最勁的“下班 look ”。

時尚網站 Man Repeller 把這種風格稱為“睡衣休閒風”,並且非常看好它。零售商 Farfetch 也表達了同樣的觀點,Farfetch 的市場編輯謝樂妮·賽德爾說:“這反映了一股向舒適穿著邁進的巨大風潮。”你也可以把這股潮流歸功於肯達爾·詹娜和蕾哈娜的加加加加大碼帽衫,還有海莉·鮑德溫在機場穿的運動服套裝。

這項把舒適衣物穿出門的行動已經進行了很長時間。但當下正時興的,是把那些你在晚上專門穿著看電視的衣服穿出門。你懂的,就是那些穿了幾年的肥大 T 恤,配上打底褲;灰不溜秋的抽繩運動褲,和配套的帽衫;離睡覺時間還有老早,你就迫不及待換上的舒適睡衣。

如同 Instagram 上展現的那樣,作為完美人設的一部分,家居服是非常有品並且價格不菲的,但睡衣休閒的潮流代表的含義與它恰恰相反。它不需要梳得一絲不苟的頭髮和妝容。相反地,這是個僅需丸子頭,素顏和手邊滾臉神器的情景。

現在,考慮在最親近的人身邊要穿什麼,已經比精心打扮去酒吧驚豔陌生人要時髦很多了。而且,實話說,是 Instagram 在背後發揮作用。多虧了諸如浴室自拍和 #我醒來長這樣# 這樣謙虛式自誇的話題,訂閱源上已經沒有什麼不能展示的了。正如 Man Repeller 裡寫到的:“內衣就是外衣,因為我們在室內做的事已經不再是隱私了。”
