Ah, the house dress. While the concept might sound grandmother-like, in theory, it's no different than the coastal grandmother trend. To define a housedress is in the eyes of the beholder, but the qualifications are simple: a loose and flowy dress that hits at or below the knees. The idea is that these dresses are so comfortable and polished, they trump your everyday pajamas and sweats. It's a way to make you feel dressed up without actually having to dress up, and it particularly suits the remote worker.
To appear put-together and feel comfortable is undoubtedly the best combination, which is why we gathered a handful of house dresses from retailers like Hill House Home, Athleta, Amazon, and more, to help upgrade your home attire. Even if you've transitioned back to the office, there's nothing wrong with grabbing one for the time you do spend at home (or even outside the home). After all, there are no rules to the housedress — wear it in public if you wish!
Whether you're looking for a cotton housedress that's flowy and breathable, a housedress with pockets to store your keys or phone, or a figure-hugging dress that flatters every curve, these are the best housedresses on the market for all price points.
Best Henley House Dress: Athleta Wind Down Sleep Dress
It's hard to go wrong with any clothing item that has a waffle texture, and the Athleta Wind Down Sleep Dress ($40, originally $79) has one that will make you feel right at home. Quite literally, you won't want to take this dress off it's so comfortable. Its Henley button front is so cute, and its sleeves will keep you warm throughout the colder months.
Best Zip House Dress: Ekouaer Zipper Robe Short Sleeve House Dress
Made of soft and comfortable cotton fabric, the Ekouaer Zipper Robe Short Sleeve House Dress ($33) is preshrunk, so you know it will fit as soon as you try it on. The dress features a zip-up design with two pockets in the front that are perfect for holding a phone, snack, and more. Unzip it and you have the option to wear it as a cardigan, making it versatile.
Best Linen House Dress: Plain Maxi Long Dress
Linen has definitely made an impression on us editors at POPSUGAR, and this Plain Maxi Long Dress ($14) has a cotton and linen construction that we'd only assume to be comfortable. It's lightweight and has slits on the sides for easy movement. This dress can be worn at home, to the beach, or even to work.
Best Stretchy House Dress: Pima Cotton Open-Back Midi Dress
The double-layered Pima Cotton Open-Back Midi Dress ($64, originally $124) is incredibly breathable with a stretchy fabric that moves with you. Turn this dress around to reveal an open back that gives it the perfect amount of oomph. It hits right below the knees with a slightly longer back for a silhouette that skims the body.
Best House Dress With Pockets: Verdusa Long Sleeve Pocketed Loose Maxi Dress
First and foremost, this Verdusa Long Sleeve Pocketed Loose Maxi Dress ($37) already looks like the most comfortable dress to own. It's made of a rayon and spandex material that's so soft and stretchy, you'll barely notice it's there. We love its two front pockets and long-sleeved construction.
Best Stylish House Dress: Sleeper Loungewear Dress
There's not much to dislike about the Sleeper Loungewear Dress ($125, originally $250). It comes in five different patterns and colours, and its off-the-shoulder style is bound to impress (your housemates, that is). It's perfect for day-to-night wear, and can even be styled with a belt for an extra polished look.
Best Personalized House Dress: Hill House Home The Caroline Nap Dress
The Hill House Home The Caroline Nap Dress ($95) is the perfect nightgown. Wear it around the house throughout the day, and enjoy the polished look it gives you. The dress can even be embroidered with your initials for a unique and fun touch.
Best Body-Con House Dress: Skims Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress
Kim Kardashian's brand, Skims, is known for its figure-hugging shapewear, and the Skims Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress ($88) doesn't hold back. The dress is long-sleeved and displays a skintight silhouette that rests at the ankles. Complete with a square neckline, you're bound to feel like a million bucks in this ensemble.
Best Lightweight House Dress: Tuckernuck Light Blue Carolina Caftan
Ideal for warm weather, the Tuckernuck Light Blue Carolina Caftan ($98) is light and breezy. Its design can even double as a beach coverup, it's so airy. We adore its V neckline, windowpane pockets, and slits at the hem. Pair it with gold jewellery, and you'll feel dressed up in no time.
Best Comfortable House Dress: Bleusalt The Slip Dress
You wouldn't know by looking at it, but this Bleusalt The Slip Dress ($200) has pockets. The breathable fabric is made of 92 percent Tencel modal, two percent poly, two percent nylon, and four percent spandex. I personally own another piece from this line and its fabric is so soft and comfortable. For a simple dress, the fabric alone is worth the purchase.
