Merlette
It’s easy to fall in love with a trend like house dresses. They’re comfortable, great for Zoom, effortless to wear, and suitable all year long. If you’ve yet to become acquainted with this style sensation, the house dress is, essentially, a comfortably-fitted, simple frock that combines the relaxed qualities of a nightgown with the polished sensibilities of a day dress. It’s the kind of piece that you can toss on in the morning and instantly feel more put together (while still remaining supremely cozy).
Unsurprisingly, this trend exploded during the pandemic when many of us were (or are!) working from home. Regardless of your profession, the house dress has a place in anyone’s closet thanks to its no-fuss, all-ease attitude. Ahead, 15 standout picks to shop right now.
