This Two-Time ‘Oprah’s Favorite Things’ Pick Is the Coziest Outfit I Own — and It’s on Sale for Black Friday

This time of year, we’re all staying home more and relaxing on the couch longer, and personally, there’s only one thing I’ll be wearing while doing so: the Spanx AirEssentials lounge set, which is on sale right now.

The set, which consists of wide-leg pants and a half-zip sweatshirt, is currently 20 percent off for Black Friday (along with everything else — yes, everything! — at Spanx). The brand sent me its light-as-air lounge set about a year ago, and the amount of times I’ve worn it since is almost laughable. Working from home, running errands, watching movies, traveling — you name it, I’ve most likely done it in this outfit. 


I own the army green version of the dynamic duo, but it’s also available in three other neutrals, black, white, and navy, and two rich fall shades: burgundy and burnt orange. All of them are marked down right now, but they’re bound to sell out.

Why do I consistently reach for this matching set over everything else in my closet? For starters, it’s the comfiest ensemble I’ve ever owned, hands down. Stepping into the Spanx pants feels like I’ve just shaved my legs, lathered them in lotion, and slipped into fresh sheets. The high-waisted, loose fit is ultra-flattering, and the drawstring waist is adjustable to my liking.

The half-zip, made with the same buttery-soft material, doesn’t feel restricting compared to other hoodies or crewneck sweatshirts do. Plus, thanks to its length, which reaches my hip bones, it compliments my figure, too. Gwyneth Paltrow just paired the half-zip in butterscotch with the brand’s matching Booty-Boost Active 7/8 Leggings for a cohesive look.

Not only is the set ridiculously comfortable, but it also makes me feel much more put-together and stylish than my typical sweatshirt-and-leggings combo. Oprah Winfrey even wore it for a magazine photo shoot, so you know it meets high standards. But even more impressively, this is the second year in a row that Oprah has selected both the Spanx pants and the half-zip for her highly sought-after Favorite Things list. To quote her, “Wow. Wow. Wow… This is the most comfortable fabric.” The year before, she compared its feel to “a hug.”




These Spanx AirEssentials pieces aren’t exactly cheap, so take advantage of snagging them while they’re discounted. Honestly, I’d still recommend everyone invest in them even at full price, because I guarantee you’ll wear them enough to get your money’s worth and then some.


While you’re at it, nab more best-selling picks from Spanx while they’re up for grabs as Black Friday deals. Scoop up the fan-favorite faux leather leggings (which just got a fleece-lined upgrade), the bra Jennifer Garner recommends to all her friends (which Kylie Jenner has worn, too), and the butt-lifting leggings Kristen Bell wears while they’re 20 percent off.
