The Rise of Luxury Loungewear
From MONROW's cashmere sweats to Frankies Bikinis' tie-dye sets — the best designers have made staying in the most stylish thing you can do.
There was a time when sweatpants were what you wore when you'd given up. That time is officially over. Luxury loungewear has become one of the most powerful and enduring shifts in women's fashion — and the brands driving it aren't budget basics labels. They're the same designers whose bikinis you covet, whose dresses you save for, and whose sweaters you've worn until they literally fall apart.
At ShopAA, our designer loungewear collection spans 65 pieces across some of the most sought-after names in the category — from the undisputed queen of luxury sweats, MONROW, to surf-born labels like Beach Riot and Frankies Bikinis that have made a seamless leap from poolside to couch-side. This is your guide to all of it.
The Loungewear Brands You Need to Know
MONROW — The Gold Standard of Luxury Sweats
No brand has done more to legitimize luxury loungewear than MONROW. The Los Angeles–born label — with celebrity fans including Oprah, Beyoncé, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Reese Witherspoon — has spent nearly two decades perfecting its signature Supersoft fabric, a proprietary blend that has to be felt to be believed. These aren't sweatpants. These are an investment in daily comfort at the highest possible level.
MONROW's signature move is taking a playful graphic — a tiger, a snake, a leopard heart — and rendering it in cashmere-blend knits and vintage-washed fleece that somehow manages to look as good out of the house as it does in it. The result is pieces that blur the line between loungewear and ready-to-wear completely.

Beach Riot built its name in swimwear, and it brought that same bold, print-forward energy straight into its loungewear line. The result is a collection of cropped sweatshirts, drawstring lounge pants, and knit shorts that feel distinctly Beach Riot — playful prints like moonlight zebra and taupe spot cheetah, relaxed silhouettes, and the kind of effortless California cool that you can't fake.
What makes Beach Riot loungewear special is that it coordinates. The Ava Sweatshirt in Sunrise Tie Dye pairs perfectly with the Hailey Pants in Sunrise Tie Dye for an instantly polished matching set — the kind that looks intentional rather than accidental.

Chaser LA — Laid-Back LA Cool with a Graphic Edge
Chaser LA has long been one of the most beloved names in casual women's clothing, and its loungewear pieces carry the same easy, lived-in energy that defines the brand. Think flocked heart prints on heather grey fleece, distressed pullover sweaters with a perfectly worn-in look, and graphic pieces with that effortless California vibe that never tries too hard.

n:Philanthropy — Where Elevated Design Meets Conscious Comfort
n:Philanthropy takes a more design-forward approach to luxury loungewear than most. The brand is known for its thoughtful details — lace-up ankle details, open-back zip sweaters, and side panel lacing that transforms a simple sweatpant into something genuinely architectural. These are pieces for the woman who finds even her loungewear too interesting to be ordinary.

A New Trend Worth Noting
Your Favorite Swim Brands Are Now Making Your Favorite Sweats
It started quietly but it's now impossible to ignore: the best swimwear brands have entered the luxury loungewear space — and they've brought their signature aesthetic with them. The same labels known for their aspirational bikinis and beach-perfect silhouettes are now designing sweatshirts and joggers with the same attention to detail, the same premium fabrics, and the same unapologetically stylish point of view.
Frankies Bikinis — From the Pool to the Couch
Frankies Bikinis has become one of the most exciting names in designer loungewear precisely because it applies its swimwear DNA to the category without compromise. The Frankies tie-dye palette — heavenly pink, rainbow — shows up in cropped sweatshirts and slim jogger pants that feel as vibrant and considered as their bikini counterparts. These are not afterthought pieces.

Beach Bunny Swimwear — Luxe Lounge with a Beach Bunny Twist
Beach Bunny Swimwear is synonymous with elevated, high-glamour beach style — and its foray into loungewear is exactly what you'd expect: beautifully constructed, premium quality, and designed to feel as special as their bikinis. The Josie Jogger and Josie Lace-Up Sweatshirt are the kind of pieces that prove loungewear can be genuinely aspirational.

The matching set: Pair the MONROW Cashmere Tiger Raglan with the MONROW Cashmere Tiger Sweats in matching heather grey for the kind of coordinated set that looks intentionally chic rather than effortlessly sloppy. Add white sneakers and you're ready for literally anything.
Mix prints intentionally: The Beach Riot Taupe Spot Sweatshirt and Balboa Shorts in Taupe Spot are designed to be worn together — the brand's coordinated approach means you get a pulled-together look with zero effort.
Elevate with details: The n:Philanthropy Mika Lace Up Sweatshirt in White Magic is the kind of piece that turns heads even though it's technically just a sweatshirt. Wear it with simple black leggings and let the design do the talking.
The swim-to-street transition: A Frankies Bikinis Burl Crop Sweatshirt over your swimsuit going out of the pool, transitioning to loungewear for the afternoon — this is the brand's whole point, and it works beautifully.
