It's no secret that when it comes to the coziest and most luxurious of loungewear fabrics, cashmere has earned its place at the top of the list and its gold medal is far from undeserved. Cashmere wool is made from the finest fibers of the cashmere goat, making it unbelievably soft, incredibly warm, and rarer than most other wool varieties. That said, when we think of shopping for cashmere, the thought that often follows is that it is bound to cost a pretty penny. Yes, while many cashmere pieces can be pricey, this year, celeb stylist Brad Goreski says that cashmere loungewear is the trend to look out for (and add to your WFH rotation!). "It feels so luxurious and elevated to lounge in," he says.

When it comes to finding the best deals on high-quality loungewear, Goreski suggests using Capital One Shopping to find the best sales. (The tool automatically applies coupon codes, finds the best prices, and offers rewards that can be redeemed later.) So, whether you're on the hunt for a matching set to Netflix and chill in, a cardigan for your morning stroll, a hoodie to pair with a puffer and boots for a quick grocery run, or your new go-to pair of cozy pants, these are the eight affordable cashmere loungewear pieces that you'll refuse to take off. Hygge enthusiasts, start scrolling!

Nostalgic for the days of 2005 Rihanna in a shrug? This wrap sweater takes that early 2000s vibe and elevates it with this gorgeous rose pink shade. The best part is that because it doesn't have a tie, it's the perfect "wrap" sweater to throw on in a hurry.

2. Summersalt Cashmere Blend Jogger, $95

"Color-blocking continues to be a very big trend, whether it’s a contrasting cuff or pocket or even sleeves," adds Goreski, and the past year has gotten us all more than just acquainted with the "matching set." They're everywhere. So pair these cashmere joggers with their matching hoodie ($125) or crew ($125), for the full model-off-duty, cozy quarantine look. (And then mix and match for full color-blocking effect.)
