Now, I can only speak for myself here, but the sheer volume of loungewear that I have bought so far during lockdown has become really quite startling.
After all, I frantically reasoned to myself as I added yet another pair of joggers to my basket yesterday, if we're going to be spending vastly more time in our own homes than ever before, we might as well both look good and be comfortable while we do it.
Yes, 2020 thus far has resembled for me a kind of protracted tug-of-war between my bank balance and those clever Instagram adverts that sort of look like normal posts but turn out to be oddly alluring and effective. So far, dear reader, the bank balance has come off second best.
This amazing dog has been delivering groceries to self-isolating neighbors:If you have a pet of your own, then I can only imagine that one rare plus point in this bizarre, scary year, has been being able to spend more time with them at home and taking them out for social distanced walks.
And if you - like me - want to marry your two passions: loungewear and pets, then I have some truly outstanding news for you. Yes, you and your pup can be the stylish matching duo you've always dreamed of in the comfort of your own home, thanks to these excellent matching bath robes for pet and owner from The Posh Paws Company on Etsy.
Let's be honest, they look truly excellent, a touch of class and luxury for you and your pooch to enjoy while spending some quality time together indoors. They come in numerous different styles, too.
