We’re all searching for comfort these days, whether that’s the smell of freshly baked bread, the satisfaction of sinking into a hot steam bath after a long day, or throwing on an oversized, ultra-cuddly sweatshirt (a.k.a. comfort in its truest form).

We’re not just throwing out random examples of comfort-inducing scenarios. Rather, these stem from actual data around what people are buying nowadays. Bread makers and yeast are selling out across the board, face masks and other bathtime essentials are flying off the shelves, and data has shown that people are shopping for more loungewear — specifically, oversized hoodies — than ever before. Guess Ariana was onto something with all those baggy-sweatshirt outfits, huh?

Shopping data aggregator Lyst has been tracking people’s “Stay at Home” searches and, as you’d expect, anything related to snuggly clothing (read: sweatpants and oversized hoodies) is seeing a major uptick. Sexy lingerie and plush slippers are also quite popular right now, but ultimately loungewear is taking over as the most in-demand. We’re all searching for comfort these days.

We’ve already rounded up the best celeb-approved loungewear brands and found a pair of Jennifer Garner-approved sweatpants you’ll fall head over heels for, so we thought we’d focus our attention on the best, comfiest oversized sweatshirts to shop right now.

Ahead, shop the cutest sweatshirts you can hole up in when you just don’t want to deal anymore. Bonus: Most are on sale right now at Nordstrom.
