Home is where the most comfortable loungewear is. Co-ord sets, pyjamas all day, joggers and slides, a striped dress with a slit, and a striking yellow sports bra win actor and producer Anushka Sharma’s vote for lounging around the house. And as far as we are concerned, these pieces have pride of place in our around-the-house wardrobes too. Sharma’s loungewear wardrobe, full of elevated classics, is just what our socially-distanced, work-from-home reality ordered. Scrolling through her Instagram account, there is one thread that stands out clearly—pre-pandemic or post, pre-baby or post, the multi-hyphenate has a proclivity for easy clothing. The only accessories she needs? A fresh-face sans make-up, and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli and daughter Vamika by her side. Summer loungewear doesn’t need an advocate, but if Anushka Sharma is wearing it, we can only endorse it. Read on for all of her casual looks that we all want to inculcate in our wardrobes.

In the latest social media update, Sharma takes us through her morning “oil pulling” routine for detoxification. Her outfit of choice: printed pyjamas. In many ways, it’s comforting to know that just like us, Sharma too walks around the house in jammies, unwinding in a striped pair that puts comfort first. If you, like us, are confused by the several semi-lockdowns and re-openings, this is a look that can easily go to a last minute brunch with the family. Just slip on a pair of heels, a chunky chain choker and trendy belt bag, and you’re ready to step out in your PJs.

Often seen cheering Kohli on while he breaks records on the field, Sharma has also served some of her greatest fashion hits from sports stadiums around the world. Her latest is so in sync with our creature-of-comfort realities, that it’s hard not to emulate her athleisure vibe. A sink-in sweatshirt, joggers, and slides is how Sharma likes to hang by the bleachers. And we are here for it.

Living in yoga pants is not a new thing, and Anushka Sharma has been a fan for a while now. In a lemon yellow Puma sports bra and black leggings, the actor also made a case for making athleisure work outside the gym. Whether she's navigating life as a new mom with a burp cloth on her shoulder or taking a post-workout selfie, tights, leggings, yoga pants—whatever you like to call them—have been her greatest loungewear must-haves. 

Cosycore, aka the aesthetic that brings together all things fuzzy and comforting, is another winner in Anushka Sharma's style book. This cream-coloured rib-knit number is one her fans won't forget anytime soon. Styled with a T-shirt tied to the side, this monochromatic ensemble is an essential. A silver necklace and earrings completed Sharma’s classic casual ensemble. 

And that's not where Anushka Sharma's list of best loungewear looks ends. Overalls and a T-shirt also won the star's vote during her pregnancy. With extra room for her growing belly and a casual white tee to offset its summery salmon pink palette, the look allowed the actor to enjoy her time in Dubai in comfort. 

Of course, one's loungewear wardrobe would be amiss without the right house dress. The actor’s wardrobe is packed with all lengths and styles. A long flowy white dress makes a breezy pick for afternoons with Sharma’s Instagram-famous pet, while a casual striped dress works perfectly for hot days. Look closely at Sharma’s pictures and you will find her trusted white sneakers always on foot.
