Here’s my second post featuring fashion highlights from Vogue Magazine in November 1963 and it’s focus is on loungewear. Clothing for entertaining at home was very much in style. The fashion conscious woman’s wardrobe included chic hostess gowns, dinner pajamas and peignoir sets. Lingerie blurred the line between sleepwear and cocktail wear. Take a look at the casually elegant designer lounging outfits below. What I like about them is they’re informal and comfortable, while still managing to look glamorous. A much classier look for hanging around the house than the sweat pants and T-shirts commonly worn today!
