Though loungewear and lingerie may sound similar to some people, let us tell you there\u2019s quite some differences between them. What you ask? Well that\u2019s what we are here to tell you. And if you must know, both of these have their individual sub-categories that differ from each other in some or the other way. However, for now, let\u2019s learn about how widely different lingerie and loungewear are.<\/p>\n

What is Lingerie?<\/h2>\n

In the simplest way to understand lingerie, it is the innerwear or nightwear that are intimate in nature. We include nightwear in this category as well because there are a few of these like babydolls<\/a>, short nighties, and more which are specifically meant for the bedroom romance (self-pampering included, by the way). These lingerie pieces, besides the evergreen choice of cotton, are also made from fabrics like satin, lace, mesh, silk, etc. To sum up, they are more fashionable and delicate items in a woman\u2019s \u201cbra-drobe\u201d (that has more than just bras!).\"lingerie\"<\/p>\n

What is Loungewear?<\/h2>\n

Understand loungewear in terms of lounging. Lounging, as you may know, is simply chilling around. However, in the world of Clovia, you get to be lazy in style. It\u2019s all the same – relaxing, doing what you love, sipping through the drinks that become the elixir of your life, and more. But, in a more fashionable way. Kaftan, joggers, robes, etc., are all types of loungewear<\/a>. Also known as casual wear or leisurewear, one thing remains intact about loungewear – comfort.\"loungewear\"<\/p>\n
