Literary Inspired Fashion For Cold Winter Nights

Goodbye crisp fall weather, helloooo freezing cold winter. Cold days pair perfectly with books, and you know what makes the whole scenario that much better? Literary inspired fashion and loungewear.

Personally, I enjoy cold weather. When I’m inside. And I’m sitting next to a fire. And there’s a long and well-written book in my hands. Let’s be real here: The best thing about winter isn’t icy temperatures, it’s the fact that the cold gives you an excuse to stay indoors, cuddled up with tea and a novel. You don’t have to go outside and pretend you like nature! Your indoorsy personality can be excused by blizzards, and you can finally read in peace! (Disclaimer: OK, OK, nature is great. Because it gives us trees. Which give us paper. Which books are printed on.)

Forget just reading. You can actually live the books — well, if you count wearing book-inspired warm clothes and accessories as living the stories. Which I do, because, why not? From PJs printed with your favorite classics, to toasty winter accessories inspired by your favorite literary characters’ iconic ensembles, nothing says “leave me alone, it’s freezing cold outside and I just want to sit here and read” like book-inspired loungewear.

2. Hunger Games Footed Pajamas

I volunteer... to sit on the couch all day, wearing this and reading book after book. With the Mockingjay symbol on the back, these footed pajamas will inspire you to win your own version of the Hunger Games. (that means you, sitting on the couch, eating an entire pizza).
