You don’t have to choose between comfort and style with the Hill House Home Ellie nap dress. This viral Internet sensation comes in plenty of eye-catching prints and simple neutrals. The flattering A-line silhouette is accented with elasticated smocking, ruffled shoulders, a tiered midi skirt and pockets you can actually use. So no wonder it’s one of the most popular house dresses on the market.

The Quince Fit & Flare knit dress is the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication. It offers a subtly sexy square neckline, as well as two front pockets that make carrying a phone and lip balm easier than ever.
You’ll feel good in and about this purchase. The dress is constructed from sustainably-sourced wood that’s been converted into Tencel, which is a soft and stretchy fabric.

The forgiving drape of this Cozy Earth rib knit frock makes it one of the best house dresses on the market. Most rib knit dresses are clingy and show every lump and bump, but the double-layered tank style of this beauty loosely hugs curves in the most flattering way possible. It’s also made from bamboo viscose for a sustainable take on trendy fashion (P.S. If you’re a hot sleeper, stock up on some bamboo pajamas, too). With an impressive 10-year warranty, it’s easy to wash and wear repeatedly without worry.
The clean lines lend well to office wear when topped with a blazer and accessories. But it’s so soft and cozy you may just want to wear it snuggled up beneath warm flannel sheets. It comes in four neutral colors and is offered in sizes XS through XXXL, so there’s a perfect option for nearly everyone.
