One wouldn’t normally associate sequined trousers or glittery gowns with comfort, but this season’s most elegant eveningwear outfits just so happen to be fit for the most stylish couch potatoes among us. As designers and brands promote getting dressed up to stay in and stay safe this year, luckily for us, their silhouettes also offer a more luxe-comfy spin on traditional party attire. The phrase “all dressed up with nowhere to go” doesn’t sound so bad with pajama sets made with soft silks and going-out tops knit with cashmere.

Thanks to Bottega Veneta and Bernadette, informal shirtdresses have transformed with shiny sequins and soft jersey lining. Or may we also suggest snuggling up in Danielle Guizio’s blanket-esque satin evening coat complete with faux-fur trim? Better yet, slip into a black velvet all-in-onesie, a la Mango’s ribbon-belted style. You can also opt for Markarian’s relaxed-fit sequined top and trouser set, or a crinkled satin suit from Rachel Comey. The best part? All of these options will pair well with a festive flat, a slipper, or a pair of simple socks if you’re still not ready to break out the fancy footwear just yet.

Here, find 13 housebound evening wear looks you’ll want to live in long after the party ends and the sun comes back up.
