I’m seriously sick and tired of seeing “pink” and “juicy” plastered on the bums of young (and old) girls. Yes, staying comfortable is important, and sometimes all you really wanna do is put on a pair of lounge pants and go about your day but, come on, try a little. The aforementioned companies are making it way too easy for girls to look…well…sloppy. There is nothing wrong with wearing loungewear out in public but, to get away with it, you have to make it look good. My advice? Look for lounge pieces in luxurious fabrics and stylish, form-fitting and figure complimenting silhouettes. Companies like Qi are making the task of successfully incorporating stylish with comfortable super easy.

Qi understands that, as women, we often find ourselves wearing our boyfriend’s ultra comfortable sweatpants, sport jersey, and/or socks. But the fit isn’t quite right and those items don’t include the edge, the colors, and the feminine details that define us. Qi design director Karina Mazzilli has designed the perfect solution: Lounge with Qi. The 100% cashmere collection includes: football jerseys, lace stitch leg warmers, drop crotch pants, and a playful twist on the cashmere robe cable (a robe that can also be worn for late night dog walks, all in neon pinks and blues. of course). Not to mention the coolest ballet flats in cashmere – pom poms included. Retail prices start at $75 – which really isn’t that bad for cashmere, considering cashmere pieces are those that you’re likely to keep forever.

Based on the concept of creating innovative fashion knitwear products, Qi has developed a loyal customer following. The Qi customer is open to the world around her, her style is a work of art, and she finds joy in expressing creativity through her wardrobe. Qi strives to push the design envelope in each season, with the use of imported yarns, cashmere, and cashmere blends. Qi is available at better department and specialty stores throughout the United States, Canada, Japan, and Europe.

Fans of Qi include Rihanna, Marcia Cross, Katy Perry, Ashley Tisdale, Adrienne Bailon, and Megan Joy of American Idol.
