Kim Kardashian herself has made fuzzy, loungewear pants a focal point of her Skim line, thanks to her “Cozy Collection,” Hailey Bieber has been spotted in them, and after seeing them in the autumn/winter collections of Nanushka, Eres, Helmut Lang, and Self Portrait, the cozy trend has made its way into our Instagram feeds.
