Thanks to a slew of slick and sustainable labels, your everyday loungewear needn’t make you feel guilty. From Ninety Percent to Pangaia, here are the best sustainable loungewear sets we’re wearing for spring. Think perfectly oversized tees, flowy palazzo trousers and super-soft, organic cotton separates for quiet nights in.

DK active
Australian brand DK active is new on our radar and we’re so glad we discovered them. Their Brisbane-based HQ runs on solar power and they use renewable energy in their supply chain to reduce their climate impact, also reusing all offcuts to minimise textile waste. Their factory meets all Australian standards for ethical clothing manufacturing (which protects and upholds workers’ rights).
When it comes to their lounge and activewear, they use a select group of high-quality materials with lower environmental impact: Econyl® regenerated nylon, organic cotton, bamboo and modal. All their fabrics have an Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, deeming them free from toxic chemicals, and the brand is 100% vegan (PETA approved). For a deeper insight into the brand’s commitments, check out its sustainability report here.
Not sure where to start shopping? We’re loving the new Match Point leggings and bike shorts, made with 100% recycled materials.

Christy Dawn
US-based Christy Dawn uses deadstock fabric to produce its vintage-inspired floral and prairie dresses and manufactures locally to reduce its carbon footprint, working with dressmakers in LA. The brand also launched the Farm-to-Closet Initiative, partnering with Oshadi Collective, a community of traditional farmers and craftspeople in southern India, to cultivate cotton using regenerative techniques and bring a depleted plot of land back to health. Christy Dawn’s loungewear is made using organic cotton and non-toxic dyes, featuring retro-inspired graphics and funky floral prints.

Asquith
Founded in 2002, British brand Asquith has long championed sustainable materials in loungewear and activewear. Namely, naturally breathable bamboo (which requires no chemicals and very little water to grow), Oeko-Tex certified and pesticide-free organic cotton, and Bambor®, their own unique blend of organic cotton, bamboo and a small amount of elastane (for extra stretch). At the higher end of the budget, their designs are made to last, so you don’t have to buy new yoga leggings or a fresh workout sweatshirt every year.

Pangaia
Based between New York and London, Pangaia has been leading the way in sustainability since 2018. Working with scientists and designers to use the most ethical and planet-friendly materials (think GOTS-certified cotton, seaweed fibre finishes and cruelty-free flower down), the brand’s contemporary basics are our go-to for guilt-free lazy days.

Ninety Percent
Not only does London-based womenswear brand Ninety Percent distribute 90% of its profits between its makers and charitable causes (customers can vote for their chosen cause via a code found on the label of each item) but its sustainability credentials are impressive, too. Every piece is made in one of three of the world’s industry-leading factories, using the most innovative materials such as GOTS-certified cotton, EcoVero™ (a renewable harvested wood pulp) and Tencel™. Shop for classic sweat separates in neutral tones.

Hara The Label
If trackie bottoms aren’t your thing, try Australian label Hara’s ultra-comfy flared trousers. The brand’s pieces are dyed, cut, sewn, packaged and shipped from Melbourne and created using sustainably sourced, Soil Association-approved Indonesian bamboo. Producing 30% more oxygen than trees, requiring only rainwater to grow (cotton uses 2,700 litres of water per T-shirt) and containing antibacterial and antifungal bioagents, bamboo is as great for the planet as it is on the skin.

Beaumont Organic
Founded by Hannah Beaumont-Laurencia in 2008, UK-based Beaumont Organic creates luxury basics (think Breton tees and button-up boilersuits) from organic and GOTS-certified cotton, recycled wool yarn and end-of-life deadstock fabric. The brand only works with EU factories, too, meaning fair living wages and safe working conditions for its staff.

Stripe & Stare
Stripe & Stare’s loungewear, nightwear and underwear is made with Tencel™ Modal, produced from fibres extracted from tree pulp (taken from sustainable tree farms). Their knickers are also 95% biodegradable so you can compost them when they reach the end of their lifespan. We love the brand for basic layers (breathable tank tops, long-sleeve shirts) and ultra-comfy lounge sets.
