Give 'Em the Slip

The best part about the holiday season? Well, we can’t pick just one, but those long weekends and the lazing about that comes with them are definitely up there. So why not slip into something more comfortable — and this time, we’re not talking about lingerie. Treat your feet with Anthropologie’s gorgeous Dream-In-Color Slippers. This delightfully patterned pair, which comes in blue too, will make you look as debonair in sleepwear as Hef himself. Not only are they perfect for a morning spent nursing that egg nog-induced hangover, but you can also stay stylish when you finally kick off those heels post–holiday parties. And hey — we won’t judge if you decide to wear them out of the house.

But if you really do want to take lounging to the next level, reach for Anthropologie’s tassel suede Color Pair Loafers, aka slippers, that you can wear to work. (So yes, a dream come true.) Show them off in skinny jeans or let them peek out of a maxi skirt. So go on and add these to your Christmas list, or even snatch them up now — we wouldn’t sleep on it!

Don’t Sweat It

You’ve got three days to relax and lick your Black Friday wounds until the work week begins again. But before you whip out your old-school Juicy tracksuit, consider adding another loungewear item to your wardrobe (preferably one not made out of velour). Swap out your sweats for a stylish yet cozy pant, like this elastic-waist pair from Iro Lea. The best part about this pick? The ruching around the waist will mask your post-Thanksgiving, er, “bloat,” while the tapered skinny leg adds a chic (and flattering) touch so you can laze about in style―and yes, they’re dressy enough to wear on the job tomorrow.

Wouldn’t dare part with terrycloth? Madewell also tried its hand at dressing up the sweatpant, with a sexy/slouchy pair in space-dye charcoal. This pant comes equipped with designer details, like zippers at the ankles that you can adjust over your slippers, so you can tuck in some more Tryptophan-filled foods and hit the couch, or even throw on a button-down and venture out. (Who knows? You might run out of ice cream.) And don’t toss out that tracksuit just yet―it may come in handy next Halloween (think: throwback J. Lo!).
