We can all agree that January isn't the most exciting of months, with bank balances and social batteries depleted after a busy festive period – and that's before we even talk about how effin cold it gets! It's no wonder, then, that so many of us opt for hibernation in the first few weeks of the new year. Thankfully, River Island just dropped a loungewear set that'll take us from our office to the supermarket and our sofa, too. That's our January wardrobe sorted!

Hang on... If you're thinking loungewear can't be worn to the office, then think again. The top of this matching set features tie-front detailing, which gives it a smart yet really chic finish. And as for the pants, they are high-waisted, wide-leg joggers that are super flattering against the cinched silhouette of the top.

There are four colours to choose from with this co-ord set (sold separately), meaning you can literally grab one for almost every day of the week. FYI, we'll be adding the burgundy set to our basket because it is literally the colour of the moment (if you hadn't worked that out already).

If you want to wear this set to work, we'd recommend pairing it with a pair of smart trainers, like these River Island white slip-on loafer-style ones. For a more casual look, ideal for running errands and grabbing a matcha with your mates, you can't go wrong with a pair of chunky New Balance 530s. Finish the look off with a matching burgundy accessory, like Massimo Dutti's Nappa braided mini bag, or cosy outerwear (see: this £48 burgundy jacket from Next).

Happy hibernating!
