Tips and outfit ideas for the comfiest trend
Showing up to work in pajamas may seem like a nightmare, but if you’ve had your eyes on recent fashion trends, you’ll know that sleepwear is now appropriate for both day and night. Sleepwear as outerwear is the trend that tons of celebrities can’t get enough of— but it’s definitely a little bit tricky to rock the look.
Here’s how to pull off pajama dressing without looking like you’re ready to hit the hay:
Select tailored styles
Flowing wide-leg trousers and a loose top are the classic pajama pairing, but if you’re concerned about looking like you’re ready to go to bed, keep silhouettes sleek and close to your body. Pair your pajama trousers with a crop top, tuck your pajama shirt in a high-waisted skirt, show a little bit of skin — anything to keep the oversized shapes from swallowing you whole.
Pair with dressy footwear
Whether you choose sneakers or stilettos, choose a pair of shoes that doesn’t look like slippers. If you’re rolling around town in your pajamas, you want to make sure that you ooze style and class. Go for your favorite heel or patent leather booties; if you’re into sneakers, go ahead and pop on your favorite kicks.
Add statement pieces
Just like your shoes, adding statement pieces to your pajama outfit will give you a clean and polished look. Eye-catching accessories like rings on every finger, gorgeous oversized earrings, a statement bag, or a bright scarf are just a few ways you can elevate your outfit. Choosing the right accessory to pair with your outfit will also show off your unique style.
Take note: try to avoid bohemian style accessories when sporting this trend since slouchy bags and bed-hair may give you that “just got out of bed” look.
Choose your fabric
Pajama-style pieces often comes in beautiful silk or satin, but don’t disregard other materials altogether. You can also go for different prints such as florals, stripes, and bold patterns. Feel free to add unique twists to the trend by looking for sleeveless, halter, or other cut-out styles.
Wear it with confidence
Lastly, the best way to own this trend is to be confident in yourself and style choices. This trend is all about being comfortable all day so in order to pull it off, you need to feel it. After all, nothing is more stylish than a woman who oozes confidence no matter what she’s wearing and no matter where she goes.
