Brooklinen, the direct-to-consumer bed sheet brand, recently expanded into the retro loungewear apparel industry. The company was founded in 2014 by Rich and Vicki and has received multi-million dollar funding by numerous investors.
Brooklinen's retro loungewear was inspired by vintage athletic clothing and is made from cotton and modal that's blended with spandex. The line includes pants, tops, dresses, and shorts and they are available in neutral colors including white, beige, gray, and black. Although Brooklinen primarily functions as an e-commerce site, it occasionally hosts pop-up shops around America where consumers can purchase its new loungewear.
As the company is committed to accessible, high-quality products, the line ranges from $28 USD to $75 USD.
