Staycation Ideas For Labor Day Weekend

For those of us who have spent a good portion of the summer basking in the glow of fluorescent lights rather than sunshine, Labor Day is the final opportunity to frolic outdoors and put hard-earned airline miles to good use. But for some the upcoming three-day weekend is reserved for one thing and one thing only: a gloriously labor-less staycation.

Whether it’s because you prefer to lounge on your couch rather than flying in coach, or the thought of diving into a Netflix queue is more appealing than wrestling your way through airport security lines, staying put is a decision we wholeheartedly support. Herewith, everything you need to achieve maximum relaxation on your staycation.

Lazy Labor Day Loungewear

When maximum comfort is the goal, opt for a subtly sexy onesie layered with a cozy cashmere robe. A quirky eye mask is as practical as it is pretty—slipping one on allows you to snooze in style.

Lay Out In Your Living Room

Transform your home into a private paradise with the help of a neroli-scented candle. Take the exotic theme one step further with a tropical perfume and an all-over dry oil that leaves behind a sun-kissed glow—zero UVB exposure required.

Breakfast In Bed

Enjoying breakfast in bed is preferred when prepping for a day of doing a whole lot of nothing. Bonus points for convincing a significant other to serve it to you—room service-style—on a fancy tray.

Sweet Sweats

If venturing outside of the house is simply unavoidable, stylish sweats and cool kicks are a socially acceptable step up from pajamas that allow you to stay well within your comfort zone.
