When I studied burlesque, the best routines teased the audience with a wink at what was to come — and the slow reveals were just as enjoyable as the exuberant tassel-twirling finales. My rhinestone pasties are in storage, but my inner showgirl still prefers to hang out at home in something beautiful, and I've found that the best sexy loungewear pieces have a seductive edge but still feel covertly comfortable.

The difference between sexy loungewear and more obvious lingerie is that loungewear exudes a certain amount of effortlessness. This could mean a drapey tee with a vertiginous neckline or leggings that have calculated mesh cutouts. Maybe it’s a modal nightgown with a strategically gathered bodice, or a lace-trimmed sleepwear set you can throw a cardigan over to answer the door. A wrap jumpsuit with delicate spaghetti straps even pulls double-duty for running out for coffee — or you can throw on some heels and a pair of statement earrings and nobody will know these "real clothes" are bonafide pajamas.

Below are pieces you can wear through a Netflix marathon and comfortably fall asleep in, but are ones that you wouldn’t mind getting caught wearing if your crush showed up unannounced. Whether you have an intended audience or not, these nine loungewear pieces possess ultimate “I woke up like this” appeal.

This Super-Soft Tee With A Plunging Neckline

A casual cotton T-shirt with a deep V neckline can be filled in with a gorgeous bralette — or not. Cuffed sleeves add a bit of studied flair that still looks laidback: It’s a piece you can style in or out of the house with a cami or cardi, so you’ll get tons of extra mileage out of this tee.

A Relaxed Semi-Sheer Sleep Shirt With Boyfriend Vibes

A sheer button-down sleep shirt in soft and airy viscose looks like you stole it from your boyfriend or girlfriend. The semi-sheer fabric hints at your silhouette, while a high-low hem skims the top of your thighs. (The black is more opaque and perfect for those who prefer a tad more coverage.) Just note that the silky smooth viscose needs to be hand-washed and has a tendency to wrinkle, but it's so comfy you might not even care.

According to one reviewer: "I love it! Very soft, light material. Perfect for lounging around the house in."

Pictured here in burgundy, this satin robe comes in 20 different colors ranging from neutrals to brights.

According to one reviewer: "I went ahead and bought this in two colors and I am so happy I did! The material is silky and soft, it cuts at a good length, it’s sexy, the lace is well-done, and most of all I can lounge around the house in it COMFORTABLY. I am always on the lookout for cute but comfortable/practical loungewear."

These high-waisted leggings took TikTok by storm because they are super comfortable for lounging around but also hug your curves and lift your butt.

This Stunning Lace Bralette Available In A Ton Of Colors

This show-stopping Free People lace bralette can be layered with pieces you already own and feels gorgeously feminine even if you’re just wearing leggings and a tee.
