These days, we’re on the hunt for anything that’s (1) ultra-comfy and (2) ultra-affordable. After months of researching the best Amazon brands and rounding up a laundry list of retailer best-sellers, we’ve come to one conclusion:
Real Essentials is one of our favorite Amazon private brands for loungewear that we’ve essentially been shouting from the rooftops to everyone we know IRL (seriously, we are the definition of the 📣 emoji).
Not only will you find buttery soft loungewear that you won’t want to take off — from joggers to hoodies — but the brand is backed by none other than Mario Lopez. Now, if only he could have worn these pieces to class on “Saved By the Bell…”
Real Essentials has thousands of five-star ratings on Amazon, and it’s time we add you (yes, you reading this) to the mix of its well-ranked acclaim. Below, we outlined all of the fashion pieces for men and women that you should snag. Some come in bundles so you’re *really* getting a good bang for your buck.
1. Men’s Active Jogger Sweatpants (3-Pack), $35
For an affordable alternative to some high-end athletic brands, the Men’s Active Jogger Sweatpants are a trio worth snagging. Namely, this bundle boasts more than 6,000 rave reviews and comes in virtually every colorway you’ll need to match your finest T-shirts.
2. Women’s Fleece Pullover Hoodie (3-Pack), $40
OK, word of advice — run to the Real Essentials’ Fleece Pullover Hoodie. When we say we work from home and sleep in them, we mean it, and you’ll appreciate its marshmallow-soft interior. Plus, while super cozy, they’re not options you’ll sweat in as they’re lightweight and airy.
3. Men’s Dry-Fit Moisture-Wicking Athletic Crew T-Shirt (5-Pack), $34, original price: $60
We think it’s critical that you have an elevated basic for every day of the workweek. To be specific, the Dry-Fit Moisture-Wicking Athletic Crew T-Shirt serves as a lovely layering piece and exercise staple alike. Plus, the brand is hosting a wonderful discount on this five-pack right now.
4. Women’s High-Waisted Leggings (3-Pack), $28
We can’t get over how similar these leggings are to some high-end brands we’ve seen. For less than $30, they’re the definition of a steal (in its high-waisted charm, too, which helps give your bottoms that seamless fit).
5. Men’s Dry-Fit Sweat-Resistant Performance Shorts (5-Pack), $35, original price: $50
For a performance short worth grabbing for your drawer, the Dry-Fit Sweat-Resistant Performance Shorts don’t disappoint, clad with a waist-tie design and every color combination you’ll need. To prepare for spring, this is how we recommend doing it.
6. Women’s Racerback Tank Top (5-Pack), $33
Did someone say workout top stock-up? The Racerback tank Top is one of our favorites on this list, namely for its mixture of both neutral and vibrant colors that’ll have you feeling good when on the move. Plus, it pairs well with a top-rated sports bra.
7. Men’s Quarter-Zip Performance Pullover (3-Pack), $37, original price: $50
For a transitional fashion piece that’s now less than $40 on Amazon (for a three-pack!), the Quarter-Zip Performance Pullover is that airy and versatile option that you can wear to work, to the basketball court or on a casual date night. Not to mention, it’s perfect for any age.
8. Women’s Nightshirt (3-Pack), $33
We’re suckers for anything that we can sleep comfortably in (so, you may as well check our our 30+ favorite sleep products). That said, the Real Essentials Nightshirt will be your next go-to grab. Much like a T-shirt dress, it’s perfectly cozy for your bed sheets.
