Etymology

The term 'slouchy' emerged in the early 20th century, primarily derived from the verb 'slouch', which refers to a lazy or drooping posture. This verb itself can be traced back to the mid-19th century, associated with the action of sitting or standing in a lazy, ungraceful manner. As fashion evolved, the adjective 'slouchy' began to describe clothing that mirrored this relaxed, informal attitude. Its use in fashion gained traction as more people sought comfort in their attire, particularly in the context of casual and loungewear. The emphasis on comfort has remained significant in modern style, making 'slouchy' a popular descriptor in contemporary fashion vernacular.
