Late December in Houston means it's nearly time to cue the confetti and pop the champagne – a new year is upon us.
While many focus on the glitz and glamour of a New Year's eve outfit, why not spend the same amount of time choosing the ultimate lounge wear for a peaceful day-after vibe, too? Relaxing, binge watching Netflix or nursing a hangover will take on a whole new meaning with the right cozy gear.
We've curated a list of looks intended for the best of both worlds — and where to find them in Houston. From regal to relaxing, there's something for everyone.
