The New 2020 Fashion Statement: The House Dress

It's literally a dress you can wear around the house as, like, elevated loungewear. But the dress style is more specific. Usually, they're midi or maxi length, they don't have constricting waistlines, and they're just all-around pretty breezy and comfortable. - Cosmopolitan

In response to this ongoing stay home extravaganza, the house dress is no longer thought to be a dowdy example of lazy style. It's becoming ever more popular as the way to combine casual style with comfort.

A fashion statement you can wear at home.

If dressing up has seemed pointless, when there's nowhere to go, creating a mini-capsule of house dresses will give you a way to add back a sense of style.

Clothes and mood are intertwined, argues fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen, author of Dress Your Best Life. And so, the house dress is a perfect fit for this moment: a small expression of control during the uncontrollable, a taste of free-flowing freedom in a time rife with restrictions, a sense of structure and style on the days that feel hazy and dull. - NPR
