Rixo’s New Loungewear Drop Is The Treat You Need For Surviving 2020

12/11/2020 by Gemma Yates

2 Min Read

Hands up if the last time you wore something that wasn’t either elasticated or made from a soft, stretchy fabric was back in March? We hear ya. It’s a widespread wardrobe shift that’s not gone unnoticed by brands, with many pivoting to loungewear in a bid to feed our shopping cravings with something that’s actually relevant to what we’re doing right now. Read: not a lot.

Flora Nightshirt, £70, Austin Pyjamas (part of set), £195

Now Rixo, the London-based label known for its punchy prints and beautiful silk dresses have launched one of the chicest loungewear collections we’ve seen all lockdown. With a focus on pyjamas that definitely aren’t just for sleeping in, you’ll also find robes, nightdresses, separates and eye masks to make staying in a lot more stylish.

Austin Set, £195, Bailey Nightdress, £125, Vera Set, £150

Rixo founders Orla McCloskey and Henrietta Rix began designing the drop during the first lockdown, and it’s landed just in time for round two. This being Rixo, a brand loved by celebs including Holly Willoughby, Millie Mackintosh and Sandra Bullock, this loungewear is boujee-er than your average, made from luxurious cotton-silk mixes and elevated with details like embroidered collars and, of course, Rixo’s signature prints. While it’s definitely at the investment end of the spectrum – prices start at £55 for an eye mask, going up to £195 for a PJ set – seeing as we might be staying home for the forseeable, it’s the perfect treat to make up for all those plans you’ve missed out on this year. Plus, the pieces aren’t just for indoors. The scalloped-collar Flora nightshirt doubles up as the perfect Zoom-call top, while the PJ tops could definitely be half-tucked into jeans and the 90s style slip nightshirts would look great layered over a white tee. Style, comfort and considerable cost-per-wear – add to basket (or your Christmas list) while you still can, it’s selling fast.

Athena Robe and Nightdress Set, £250, Austin Pyjama Sets, £195 each

New feature today all about our love of Instagram’s favourite interior trend - the half wall. Perfect for kids bedrooms, grown-up bedrooms and living rooms galore. So here, have another photo of the kid’s bedroom (because we’re yet to decorate most rooms in the house 😅 and this one is conveniently a prime example of the infamous half paint job). This is @littlegreenepaintcompany Yellow Pink 🌼🌻✨⭐️ I’ve also included some of our other fave bits of inspo from across Instagram - including dreamy interiors from @charminglifebyjess @renovating_the_broadway @gemellisx and @katespiers 😍😍😍
I may have been a fashion editor for a decade, but I may have been a fashion editor for a decade, but I definitely lost my style mojo after baby no.1 (if I’m honest, two years later I’m still trying to find it) 
Lockdown, wearing gym kit for work and not wanting to spend money on maternity clothes I’ll only wear for a few months has meant wardrobe options have been relatively limited this pregnancy, but actually, that’s made life easier. Dungarees are my go-to - these @newlook cord ones have seen me through both pregnancies, my two besties through theirs and even survived an unfortunate ripping incident during the “birthing positions” part of my NCT course 🤣 Adding in a non-maternity top that still fits over bump (I managed to do up about 3 buttons on this @ganni one) is an easy way to make maternity wear feel a bit more “you”. Along with these dungarees and a denim pair I found on @ebay_uk, I’ve lived in @newlook’s leggings - the only ones I could find that didn’t go opaque - @topshop straight maternity jeans (RIP) @hm Mama gym leggings and a couple of dresses from my first pregnancy - mostly @asos maternity or @zara sized up. My maternity wardrobe tips? Look for dresses with easy boob access that you can wear post-pregnancy (I totally failed on this first time round 🤦🏻‍♀️) check out maternity rental sites like @for.the.creators (we have a post on this on site) or shop second hand on @ebay_uk @depop or Facebook marketplace. What are your maternity must-buys?
Just a cheeky bit of midweek nail inspo to either Just a cheeky bit of midweek nail inspo to either copy at home or save for THAT trip to the nail salon in April. You might have noticed in stories that my nails are completely bare at the moment - I had my last set of gels done in October (bright red in case you were wondering). I did a home removal job and tried to wing it through December with a couple of costs of a cheap festive glitter polish but it kept flaking off the same day I painted them 😅 I haven’t bothered using the at-home gel set I have because #twokids but LORD ALMIGHTY will I be glad to look at my hands and see a bright, shiny rainbow mani looking back at me 😭🙌🏼🌈 Hannah x
