Just Lounging Around: Covered Perfectly V Neck Leisure Suit
As a woman who loves all things fashion related – clothes, shoes, accessories, and everything in between – I never have any problems finding pieces that I absolutely adore and must have whenever I go shopping. However, for some reason, the essentials seem to trouble me…underwear, bras, and loungewear. So when I discover something fabulous in the categories of underwear, bras, and loungewear, it makes me a very happy woman indeed.
When Pauline of Covered Perfectly reached out to me to review one of her products, I was super excited to try the V Neck Leisure Suit. If you are not familiar with Covered Perfectly, it is a small, woman-owned company with the sole purpose of providing flattering, comfortable clothing for women over 50. In May of 2013, at the age of 57, founder Pauline Durban launched her company with the purpose of designing women’s fashions with a focus on soft fabrics that are luxurious and comfortable. The staple fabric used throughout the Covered Perfectly Collection is MicroModal which is lightweight and breathable, a necessity for those dreaded heat flashes that plague many of us in midlife.
I chose the V Neck Leisure Suit in Olive and I absolutely adore the color! My summer go-to slides in leopard and floral were the perfect match with this cute two piece suit for hanging in my back yard with coffee and a book.
This two piece suit is constructed from a 96% MicroModal/6% Spandex blend. Let me tell you how amazing this fabric is…when I took it out of the package, it had a few wrinkles which very quickly fell right out, making it perfect for travel. Soft is simply an understatement…it is softer than velvet and lighter than cotton. I went to bed last night wearing both pieces. I had the air conditioner on the coldest setting and the cyclone fan on high and when I woke around 11:00 p.m. in the midst of one of my worst heat flashes ever, I realized that the fabric was literally pulling the moisture right off my skin. Other than having to wipe away the sweat that had pooled around my neck, I managed to survive said heat flash without having to entirely remove my clothing.
Not only is the fabric so, so great, it is comfortable and the cut is super flattering. I love the tunic length of the top with the asymmetrical hem and the V neck. The elastic waistband on the pants makes them perfect for lounging. I also like that the pants are cropped and not too baggy. I hate when I get all tangled up in too baggy loungewear. You know what I’m talking about, right? If your loungewear is too loose and oversized, it gets all twisted around your body when you shift in bed or snuggle up on the couch. It makes me feel all claustrophobic when my clothes start to strangle me! This leisure suit does not do that…it very much lives up to the name of Covered Perfectly.
This two piece leisure suit is also available in Black and Ink Blue. I may need to be adding those colors to my loungewear arsenal soon. Because of the breathability and lightweight nature of the fabric, this leisure suit is perfect for all year wear. And I am perfectly covered enough to comfortably sit on my front porch or in my back yard wearing it. If you prefer a scoop neck over a V neck, the same three colors are available in the scoop neck version.

I am only now just discovering how much I do like to look put together even when lounging around my house. And I am really starting to up my loungewear game lately! What do you wear for just lounging around?

First of all I LOVE your hair like that – so cute! Bras and underwear are things I know I need to invest in and don’t mind spending extra on if they’re worth it. It is nice to have comfortable, cute and well made leisure wear though too! This looks fabulous on you and so comfy!
xo,

Thanks so much, Kellyann! These leisure suit is unbelievably comfortable. And the price is no different from what you would pay for a jammie set at Kohl’s. But the quality is much better!
I have been wearing chopsticks in my hair since it got long enough to do it that way…and I think this might be the first I have shown it on the blog…no, I had chopsticks in my hair for my brother-in-law’s wedding. But it was styled half up and half down. I have 4 different sets of hair sticks, but I find pens and pencils work just as well when in a bind!

Finally something with a V-neck. There are way to less items with a V- neck in stores! I also love the colour. Looks like perfect lounge wear to me!

Thanks so much, Nancy! I am huge fan of the vee neck, too! Crew necks do not flatter me at all! Plus they are ridiculously uncomfortable.

You wore that to bed. Uh, huh. I suppose you just woke up looking that wonderful! Uh huh. Wish I could wake up with flawless skin, perfect lips and a perfect messy bun with a cat in it (super cool, Shelbee) and sparkling green eyes. I won’t be holding my breath on that one, but you look wonderful. Olive Green makes you look awesome. Rock it, Girl!

Ha, Susan! I totally do NOT look like this upon waking up! I took the pictures before bed…not after! When I crawl out of bed, my hair is usually falling out of a ragged pony tail, remnants of eyeliner and mascara are smeared all over my face, there are sheet marks across my right cheek with dried drool settled into the creases, and my green eyes are dull with no sparkle until after the first cup of coffee has been consumed! But thanks for the compliment and thinking I look fabulous when I first roll out of bed!

You look so good Michelle, this fits to well and even though it looks comfortable you look very well put together. Sometimes it’s almost impossible for these two things to happen in one outfit.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Lorena! I really do love this loungewear because it is comfortable and looks stylish!

Your satisfaction with the comfort, style and fit of this little lounge wear set are showing clearly in your eyes Shelbee. That darling dimple of your is pretty convincing too!

Jude, you are so sweet! It is quite a luxurious set of loungewear, indeed. It makes me feel very special!
