Girls night in deserves its own special wardrobe category—pieces comfortable enough to wear for hours of lounging but cute enough that you don't feel frumpy in group photos or mirror selfies. This isn't the time for restrictive jeans or fancy tops. You need clothes that let you fully relax while still making you feel good about yourself.
Start with the coziest sweatshirt you own. A Von Dutch Heart Patch Crew Neck Sweatshirt (if it has heart patches or graphics) brings personality and comfort in equal measure. The crew neck is universally flattering and comfortable, and any fun patches or graphics add visual interest to what's essentially super comfortable loungewear. The soft cotton-polyester blend feels good against your skin whether you're sprawled on a couch watching movies or sitting cross-legged on the floor playing games. This is the kind of sweatshirt that becomes your uniform for cozy nights in.
Alternatively, the Von Dutch Striped Crew Neck Sweatshirt brings that same comfort with a slightly more polished look thanks to its striped details. The midweight fleece is perfect for temperature-controlled indoor environments—warm enough to feel cozy but not so heavy that you overheat. The embroidered logo and striped trim give it enough style that you look intentional rather than like you just rolled out of bed, which matters for those inevitable group photos.
Layering options extend your comfort. The Faux Fur Collar Short Sleeve Cardigan adds a touch of luxury and whimsy to your girls night outfit. The faux fur collar feels indulgent and cozy, perfect for wrapping yourself in softness. The short sleeves mean it layers beautifully over long-sleeve tops without creating bulk or restricting movement. This is the kind of piece that makes you feel fancy while being entirely comfortable—perfect for when you want to feel special during what's essentially a glorified sleepover.
Think about the activities you'll be doing. Movie marathons, face masks, snack spreads, games, deep conversations—all of this requires freedom of movement and zero restrictive clothing. Your Von Dutch Striped Crew Neck Sweatshirt paired with soft leggings or joggers creates the perfect foundation. Add the Body Wrap when you want extra coziness, and you're set for hours of comfortable hanging out.
The Body Wrap deserves special mention for girls night in because it's like wearing a hug. The ultra-soft micro-poly fabric is incredibly tactile and comforting, and the oversized fit means you can pull it around yourself when you're cold or drape it loosely when you're warm. It's substantial enough to feel like a real layer but light enough that you never feel weighed down. This is the piece you reach for during particularly emotional movie scenes or when someone suggests taking the party out to the porch for fresh air.
Base layers matter for extended comfort. The Aja Ortho Solid Top with its soft stretchy knit and boxy silhouette works beautifully under cardigans or wraps while being comfortable enough to wear on its own. The mock neckline keeps you warm without feeling restrictive, and the three-quarter sleeves are the perfect length for indoor comfort. The ribbed hem and sleeve accents add subtle detail that makes it feel more intentional than a basic tee.
Color coordination can make girls night feel more special. If you and your friends coordinate cozy outfits—maybe everyone in different colored sweatshirts or everyone with fun layers—it creates a cohesive aesthetic that makes group photos more fun. The Von Dutch Striped Crew Neck Sweatshirt comes in black with contrasting stripes, which pairs with literally any other color your friends might be wearing.
Practical considerations matter too. You'll be eating snacks, possibly doing face masks or other beauty treatments, and moving around between different activities. Choose pieces that can handle potential spills or stains without you stressing about them. Darker colors and casual fabrics are more forgiving than delicate or light-colored pieces. The Von Dutch Striped Crew Neck Sweatshirt and Body Wrap are both pieces you can relax in without worry.
Footwear for girls night in should be either fuzzy socks or comfortable slippers—nothing with hard soles or any restriction. Your Body Wrap creates that perfect cozy aesthetic when paired with your favorite fuzzy socks and a big mug of hot chocolate. It's the visual representation of comfort.
The beauty of girls night in outfits is that they should make you forget you're wearing clothes. When you're in your Von Dutch Striped Crew Neck Sweatshirt, Body Wrap, or Faux Fur Collar Short Sleeve Cardigan, you're not thinking about adjusting uncomfortable waistbands or being too hot or too cold. You're just comfortable, relaxed, and present with your friends.
Creating traditions around girls night in makes them more special. If you and your friends establish that everyone shows up in their coziest outfits, it signals that this time is sacred—dedicated to comfort, connection, and zero pretense. The Von Dutch Striped Crew Neck Sweatshirt and Body Wrap become part of that tradition, pieces you associate with your favorite people and your favorite memories.
