Instead, we've combed the market for the most covetable loungewear, from a sweet, floral-printed romper to a pajama set that you may just want to wear outside the bedroom. Click through for 11 pieces that pull double duty as the comfiest, chicest gear to throw on at home or even style up for the street.

Get Your Butt in Gear: So Low Cropped Pants

I love wearing cropped pants to workout.

I love wearing cropped pants to workout. Sometimes I get too hot in long pants and I don't like the gratuitous peep show shorts often offer. So I am always on the market for good cropped pants.

These So Low Cropped Pants ($62.00) are cute enough to wear in and out of the gym. The fold over waistband lets you make them as low or high as you want and the flared leg is flattering for most body types. They come in black, heather, charcoal and navy. I'll be investing in the charcoal and black. Buy them from Shopbop.com.

I can't help but think of the song How low can you go? How low can you go?
