Anyone who's serious about looking polished while off-duty is familiar with the best sweatsuits for women, and as we head into winter, this is the time for getting dressed up to stay in. A coordinated matching set looks more put together, so you can easily transition from relaxing to running errands without any major outfit changes. 

Our favorite set is Vuori's Halo Essential Hoodie and Performance Joggers, made with a lightweight, silky fabric. If you're looking for something with a bit more warmth, we recommend Richer Poorer's Recycled Crew Matching Set, which has a perfectly oversized fit. 

Our top picks of the best sweatsuits for women:

Vuori Halo Essential Hoodie and Performance Joggers
This ultra-soft and silky set offers a breezier feel than most fleece options. 

Richer Poorer Recycled Crew Matching Set
We love the cozy, slightly oversized fit of this warm set. 

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Full Zip Hoodie and Mongolian Cashmere Sweatpants
This warm cashmere duo has a much friendlier price tag than the luxe fabric suggests. 

Abercrombie Essential Sunday Half-Zip and Essential Sunday Sweatpant
Anticipate lots of compliments on this cozy pairing that's perfect for running errands. 

Cozy Earth Bamboo Pullover Crew  and Bamboo Viscose Joggers
We love this unbelievably soft fabric for an indulgent outfit to take catnaps in.

Spanx AirEssentials Half Zip and Wide Leg Pant
The AirEssentials collection has been listed among Oprah's Favorite Things for two years running.

I basically live in matching sweatsuit sets these days, and this is one of my favorites. The material is ultra-soft and silky, like what you can imagine the comfiest jersey sheets to feel like. Most of my sweatsuits are made from a thicker fleece, so this one is a nice departure when I want a more pajama-like feel. The nice thing though is that if you opt for a color like black, you can pop a jacket over it with a cute pair of sneakers and look like you actually got dressed for the day. 

As far as sizing goes, I recommend sizing up in the sweatshirt for a roomy, oversized fit, but sizing down for the pants if you're in between sizes. I'm 5-foot-two and usually a size 8-10 or large, and that's what I got for these pants, but I definitely could have sized down to a medium.— Sally Kaplan, executive editor

Richer Poorer Fleece Sweatshirt and Sweatpants

I've long been a fan of Richer Poorer for its great basics, and this sweatshirt and sweatpant combo made from recycled fleece is no exception. We reviewed the sweatshirt a while back and both I and our reporter were a fan of the ever-so-slight crop and cozy but not-super-oversized fit. The sweatpants are great and have held up through almost a year of wear and tear. I'd order true-to-size in these styles, but if you're in between sizes, you could easily size down. — Sally Kaplan, executive editor

Tracksmith Turnover Half-Zip and Sessions Pants

I like to call this sweatsuit from Tracksmith my Richie Tenenbaum outfit — it's a total '70s throwback. Unlike other sweatsuits that are fleece-lined, this one is made of a performance fabric that's sweat-wicking, UV-protective, and super breathable. It's a great sweatsuit for warmer months when the last thing you want is something warm to slip into when you're relaxing.

I especially like how the sleeves have thumb loops, which makes this top great for layering. Just note that this sweatsuit definitely runs on the smaller side. I ordered my regular size, large, and found the shirt and bottoms to both be snug. — Maria Del Russo, former style & beauty editor

Ansea Reversible Sweatshirt and Sweatpants

You wouldn't expect a company that makes wetsuits to make an ultra-cozy sweatsuit, but Ansea does both brilliantly. The brand's reversible sweatshirt and joggers have a neoprene-like feel, even though it's made from a cozy jersey. It has drop shoulders and an oversized neck, so you can pull it on and off without pulling your Airpods out of your ears. I really love the stitching on the pockets, too, which gives the pants a cool vibe. — Maria Del Russo, former style & beauty editor

Abercrombie Essential Sunday Half-Zip and Essential Sunday Sweatpant

I collect sweatsuits like it's my job (and as a product reviewer, it kind of is…) but this set from Abercrombie is my recurring favorite. With a roomy but not frumpy fit, this super comfortable fit has a slightly cropped top and high-waist bottoms — and I always get compliments whether I wear it to the supermarket or the nail salon. 

The heavyweight fabric keeps me warm without overheating, and in mild weather, I wear it with a tank top and knot the sweatshirt over my shoulders. I especially love to wear this set while traveling. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Full Zip Hoodie and Mongolian Cashmere Sweatpants

A cashmere sweatsuit is peak lounging luxury — but that often comes with a hefty price tag. Quince's 100% Mongolian cashmere set has all of the high-quality coziness at a much more reasonable price point than traditional retail. A cashmere set like this one is ideal for winter, as it's three times as insulating as wool. We recommend sizing up in the pants if you prefer a more relaxed fit.

There are certain loungewear pieces that are so unbelievably soft, I'm tempted to tell anyone who will listen to feel it so they can truly understand the magic of the fabric. This splurge-worthy Cozy Earth set is luxuriously soft, cozy, lightweight and almost cool to the touch. It has a flattering, roomy fit that makes the pieces drape nicely without looking too slouchy. I also love the generously-sized side pockets on the pants.  — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

Everlane ReTrack Half-Zip Sweatshirt and The ReTrack Barrel Sweatpant

Everlane's recycled cotton set has breezy details like an above-the-ankle hem on the pants and a half zip on the top, which make the outfit perfect for transitional weather. The fabric is cozy, soft, and thick, so you can wear it during a catnap or while you're out running errands. The full set is available in two versatile, neutral color options. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

Gap CashSoft Hoodie and CashSoft Sweater Pants

I love that this luxuriously soft set merges the cozy feel of a sweater and the comfort of a hoodie and sweatpants. It's delightfully cozy when worn as a duo, but the top looks just as cute with a pair of jeans. The Cocoa Powder Brown color is a great warm, neutral staple hue. I especially appreciate that both the top and bottom are available in regular, tall, and petite lengths. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

Spanx AirEssentials Half Zip and AirEssentials Wide Leg Pant

Spanx

This light-as-air set with the perfect amount of drapeyness has been listed among Oprah's Favorite Things for two years running. It combines a super comfy, silky feel with nice style touches like an exaggerated collar. It comes in a handful of neutral and bright colors, and we love that the pants are available in tall, petite, and regular lengths. Both pieces tend to run a bit large, so size down if you're in between sizes. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

Universal Thread Bubble Hem Sweatshirt and High-Rise Wide Leg Sweatpants

This loose-fit set, made from a cotton and recycled polyester blend, comes in both neutral and bright colors — or you can easily mix and match. The bubble hem on the pullover sweatshirt adds a fun touch while the wide-leg bottoms are perfectly roomy. The budget-friendly price point makes this set great for gifting. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

This close-fitting yet snuggly zip-up top and jogger pants come in fun color combinations including a color-blocked white with grey and a pink-and-white houndstooth design. The top is pretty cropped, but the pants have a high waist so it shows just a hint of tummy. While the top runs a touch small, the pants tend to fit a bit larger, so size up or down accordingly if you're in between sizes. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor

Cuyana Fleece Funnel Neck Hoodie and Fleece Jogger Pant

If you're looking to splurge on a top-notch lounge set, we recommend this luxe fleece pairing by Cuyana. The zip-up top has lots of flair between the funnel-neck hood, exaggerated cuffs, and paneled pockets. The bottoms have an easy fit that sits just below the waist. It's the ultra soft and cozy two-way stretch Supima cotton fleece that really makes this duo stand out. — Talia Ergas, Style & Beauty Contributor
