At home with Violet Grace

Much the same as a good Pinot Noir and 70% dark chocolate, being at home in leisurewear and looking chic are not mutually exclusive concepts.

I have narrowed down four of my favourite Homebodii pieces to show you how I wear them at home in my little art deco Bondi Beach apartment. From answering emails, to DIY manicures, to cooking my favourite pasta to entertaining friends in my living room – these looks are versatile and can even translate into the outside world.

Here are Violet Grace's four favourite Homebodii pieces

Violet’s 10 commandments of leisurewear

Finally, I will leave you with what I deem as my 10 commandments for leisurewear:

1. Always, always read the care instructions. More often than not it will be cold wash or hand wash only. It would be a travesty to ruin your perfect new set.

2. Try steaming your pyjamas for an extra-luxe look (and feel).

3. Never eat bolognaise in your white slip/pyjamas. Trust me. I learnt the hard way.

4. Always wear your pyjama sets matching.

5. Experiment with wearing your pyjamas to Sunday brunch.

6. Always buy your mother-in-law a beautiful set of pyjamas for her birthday. Periodt.

7. Do not view your at-home wear as your ‘lazy’ attire otherwise you will never get anything done at home (hello pile of tax paper work and that door handle you’ve been meaning to fix…). Consider it your second outfit change of the day.

8. If you have had a bad day: put on your favourite slip, a red lip and blast Fleetwood Mac.

9. A leisurewear look is not complete until you add your favourite scent. I always opt for Tom Ford Fougere D’Argent.

10. Answer the mailman at the door with a towel on your head and a lace robe at least once in your life. It is a right of passage.
