It sure is cold outside, and chances are, we’ve still got a few weeks of near sub-zero temperatures. You might also be like us: still dealing with the aftermath of the holidays and laying low, spending lots of nights in, and generally taking things easy as a result. Either way, and whatever your reason, January is a good month for some good ol’ R ‘n’ R — which, of course, still requires a stylish look. From ultra-luxurious cashmere to sweatpants you’ll want to live in, Rebecca Tay presents five essential pieces for cosy weekends in.
One of the first things we do when we get home each day is change straight into comfy clothes. This season, we’re looking forward to adding these cosy suede, shearling-lined slippers by Manitobah Mukluks, an Indigenous-owned company that is, in fact, based in Winnipeg.

Every weekend wardrobe needs a good, cosy sweater that’s fashionable enough for you to wear outside and not be afraid of running into your ex. Enter this Acne Studios sweater. Its baby yellow hue is sweet but not saccharine, and it’s made from mohair that’s so soft, you’ll want to wear it all weekend long.

This mockneck turtleneck is made from ‘ReCashmere,’ which is 60 per cent recycled cashmere, and 40 per cent extra-fine merino wool and comes with half the carbon footprint of a normal Everlane cashmere sweater. We love its slightly cropped fit, which tucks perfectly into jeans without becoming overly bulky at your midriff.

For lazy afternoons at friends that turn into movie nights with a glass or two of wine, you need a pair of sweatpants that won’t pill in hours and still show that you made a tiny bit of effort. This pair features hidden zips at the ankles for a streamlined silhouette and front seams for a touch of class. Consider yourself extra lucky if your workplace or job means you can also wear these on casual Fridays.

If you get changed to answer the door when the food delivery person arrives, it’s time you invested in a classic shirt by The Sleep Shirt. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they’re also modest enough to wear them around the house when the in-laws come to visit. Most styles come in short, long, or full-length; this midnight twill version is soft and smooth, and even a little silky.
