Admit it: There are days when all you want to do is throw on a comfortable outfit and forgo the dress codes of work and social events. For me, those days are 90% of them. Recently, my fellow coworkers categorized my style as “cozy and cool”, and I’m not entirely sure I reach a high level of cool factor, but I can say I’ve mastered the skill of putting together a comfortable fit. Just because you’re wearing something cozy doesn’t mean it can’t also be stylish, especially with the trends that have garnered attention in the past few years. Matching sets, ribbed dresses, and printed knit—I’ll take the whole lot.

Whether you’re slipping into your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans, an oversize sweater, or a worn-in T-shirt, there are ways to elevate your comfy look.
