Retirees deserve a warm and cozy life after their years grinding away in the workforce. Which makes it ironic, perhaps, that winter could easily be the nicest time of the year to be retired: You don’t have to drive to the office in the snow, oh no, you get to relax at home in front of the fire. Yet to achieve maximum coziness, you need to do a little shopping. Ah, the burdens of retired life.

Ribbed Button-Front Cardigan: $19.49
Who’s to say you can’t embrace the comforts of retired life while still looking oh-so-dashing? This men’s ribbed button-front cardigan lets you lean into a classic look while staying warm. You can find it in sizes XS to XXXXL, in tall or regular fits, allowing you to layer it over your favorite T-shirt.
Slide Sandals: $4.99
OK, slide sandals may seem like an odd choice for winter attire, but think of them as a sturdier and cheaper option for house slippers.

When you want the comfort of sweatpants with a sleeker look, these men’s joggers are the perfect choice. They come in sizes XS to XXXXL, enabling almost everyone to find a fit that will let them lounge at home or dash off to the store. To say that your fellow Old Navy shoppers are fond of this item would be an understatement — of the 1,822 customers who rated it, 1,445 gave it five out of five stars.

As a retiree, you enjoy a lot of freedom in life, especially when it comes to what you wear every day. If you want to wear pajamas all day, you’re gonna wear pajamas all day.

Get this luxurious pajama set in green stripes, red and pink stripes, a bold blue retro pattern or delicate pink to give yourself a dash of spring when you need it most.
