Regardless of the season, loungewear remains a staple in my closet. But when temperatures rise, my usual go-to fleece-lined pieces are only suitable to wear inside my apartment with the air conditioning blasting; otherwise, I roast. So, I’m always on the lookout for a summer-friendly matching set that I can wear around my home and when I step out for a walk with my dog or to run errands.
I had the opportunity to try Alo Yoga’s new Delicate Lounge Flare Pants and matching tank top, and they’re the perfect weight, especially in the 90-plus-degree weather we’ve been having lately on the East Coast. The pieces are sold separately, and I recommend snagging both for an effortless summer OOTD. As someone who sweats easily, I never overheat when wearing the full set.

The flare pants are flattering on my 5-foot-6 frame, and the thick elastic waistband is comfortable around my waist, while the flowy legs feel breezy and non-constricting. The fabric is buttery soft thanks to a blend of modal and elastane material for added stretch, and it feels so good, I forget I’m wearing anything at all. Keep in mind that the fabric is semi-sheer to ensure a lightweight feel, so wearing neutral-toned underwear is your best bet to have it go undetected.

I love pairing it with the matching ribbed lounge tank top that feels like a second skin. The cropped fit complements the high-waisted pants well, since I love showing a bit of midriff for summer. It features a V-neckline, adjustable spaghetti straps, and fixed front buttons, plus it’s available in three colors: black, athletic heather gray, and taupe. It’s stretchy but still offers a reasonable amount of support, so I can wear it braless and feel like my 36B bust is secure.
This matching set is hands-down my go-to pick for summer; however, I’m also a major fan of the brand’s timeless Accolade sweatshirts and sweatpants if you prefer a thick, fleece-lined style year-round. The pants are a favorite of celebrities like Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba, as well as InStyle editors.
Don’t miss the chance to snag the lounge flare pants and matching tank that I’m practically living in this summer, and keep scrolling for more Alo Yoga pieces I’m eyeing.
