The material is soft and comfortable, feels really pleasant on skin. This set is perfect as loungewear. I'm not sure if it's suitable for a casual stroll at the mall? e.g. I would probably not go outside wearing just this. Maybe it's alright for summer months, like cooking in the backyard, reading your morning newspapers, etc. But where I live - I'd usually be quite cold, and this set would be too thin for winter time. It works perfectly for a rainy-day-at-home. It has this sort of vibe - lazy Saturday / Sunday morning kind of vibe. Overall build quality is good. Nice material, nice buttons, neutral color (not too dark, not too bright), making it a perfect loungewear set for wearing around the house.
