I wanted something I would feel proud to wear out to the store, to run errands, without looking like I'm wearing a track suit. I like track suits, but I wanted something more dressy. I bought this lounge set and am very happy with it. It's suitable for wearing in the house, but also, very elegant worn outside the house. It's slenderizing on me even though I leaped into getting the khaki color. Monochromatic look is very nice. I'm pairing with a pair of white lace up sneakers and feel great. I recommend this set.
