As someone who is perpetually on the go—both as a travel writer and a new mom of twins—I’m always on the hunt for timeless wardrobe staples that combine comfort, style, and versatility. Enter the Spanx AirEssentials half zip and AirEssentials wide-leg pant: two oh-so-cozy loungewear essentials that can be worn separately or as a matching set.
I know what you’re thinking…Spanx? Loungewear? Yes, really. While the brand was initially known for its shapewear and undergarments, it has since expanded to offer a wide range of clothing—from denim and slacks to dresses, jumpsuits, and tennis skirts suitable for any occasion, be it the gym, the office, a long-haul flight, or, in my case, frequent trips to the pediatrician. I like to think of the AirEssentials set as a more elevated take on pajamas—though unlike the latter, these are acceptable to wear outside of my apartment. Best of all, you can (barely) tell I had less than five minutes to get dressed.
The half-zip sweatshirt stands out for its ultra-warm and seemingly weightless construction, which will keep you comfortably warm (read: not sweltering) for hours on end; as such, it’s an especially great pick for chilly plane rides. Plus, it’s ideal for layering courtesy of its oversized fit, which is why I often wear mine with a tank top underneath. Another bonus: It comes in 12 color options, from violet and black to navy and red.
The sweatshirt pairs just as perfectly with the matching pants as it does with a pair of my go-to leggings and joggers. But when I want a more uniform look, I wear the wide-leg pant, a favorite for its on-trend, loose-fitting silhouette and buttery soft construction. Since I’m fairly short (5'4"), I often have trouble finding a pair of wide-leg pants that are the right length (they never look quite as nice once hemmed). However, I found the cropped version to be my ideal length. The adjustable drawcord waist offers a customized fit, and unlike other pants I own, it doesn’t get twisted after washing.
I like to wear these pants with sneakers for a sportier look and platform Ugg slippers for a cozy-chic aesthetic. While the cropped version comes in just two shades—black and cream—the standard variety comes in 12 hues, three of which have shimmer for a slightly more formal feel for work or even a night out with friends.
It’s worth noting that both items are part of Spanx’s AirEssentials collection, which is well known for its ultra-soft, buttery fabric that’s designed to feel silky-smooth against the skin. Additionally, the drapey material features a four-way stretch to move with you as opposed to weighing you down, offering breathability along with optimal airflow and circulation to keep you comfortable in (pretty much) any condition
