I’m a Loungewear Snob, and This Under-$35 Walmart Set Is Cozier Than Pricier Styles I Own

I’ve worked from home for the past eight years, so I don’t need the office-ready fashion most people require. Instead, I rely on elevated lounge sets, and I’ve collected a lot of them. In fact, I have at least two weeks’ worth of comfy but stylish pieces in my closet. But none of my loungewear over the past eight years compares to this under-$35 set.

Walmart sent me the Scoop ScubaKnit Cargo Joggers and Cropped Sweatshirt to test, and as soon as I took them out of the bag, I knew they were winners. Not only did the fabric feel silky and cooling, but it was also lightweight and ultra-stretchy. The pieces were buttery-soft the moment I put them on, and I’ve been living in them ever since I received them.

The fabric is easily my favorite feature of the set. It’s a blend of rayon and spandex that is silky-smooth and cool. It actually feels like you flipped your pillow over in the middle of the night and are wearing the cool side. The set is also my ideal medium weight. As someone who gets hot often, it keeps me comfortable but is still warm enough to wear during winter. Plus, it’s breathable and doesn’t trap my body heat.

The fit is also perfect. As a plus-size person, it’s difficult to find oversized pieces, but the Scoop set gives that comfortable feel without looking sloppy. I sized up to get an even more loose, flowy feel, and I love the way they skim my body without feeling restrictive, and they don’t look frumpy despite being loose. Plus, the pieces are size inclusive ranging from small to 4X.

Because I work from home, I also need a lounge set that will look good during on-camera meetings, and these fit the bill. The cropped sweatshirt has a drop sleeve that adds interest, a classic crew neckline, and elastic wrists for a crisper fit. If I need to run errands after my nine-to-five, I can easily tuck the front of the cropped style into the cargo joggers and pair them with sneakers for an elevated look.

I’m not the only person who loves the set, either. Hundreds of Walmart shoppers have awarded the top and pants five-star ratings. One person said they’re just as good as Lululemon’s loungewear, sharing that they feel just as good as the high-end brand and want the sweatshirt in every color. Others say they love that the pieces are sold separately so you can mix and match sizes based on what works for your body. 

You can shop my new favorite sweatshirt and matching cargo pants right now at Walmart, but you’ll want to grab them fast. Several colors have already sold out or are available in limited sizing, and they’re currently a best-seller. If you want to see even more Walmart loungewear finds, keep scrolling.
