Hello kids! It’s question time. Do you ever feel like putting on regular clothes in the morning is simply too much effort? Especially on a Sunday? OK — I’m aware that I sound a tad infomercial-y, but seriously: Show me someone who wouldn’t love to stay in their blissfully comfortable PJs all day and I'll show you a liar. I have always had this intense passion for pajamas. Back in high school, I would often immediately change into one of my most beloved jammie sets as soon as I’d get home. This, of course, used to make my mother think I was depressed. But I assured her that I was just into prioritizing my comfort.
Some citizens of the world — who unarguably have more going on in their lives than I — don’t tend to take their pajama game seriously. No offense to you if you're a simple tee-shirt kinda girl; I just prefer to jazz things up in the bedroom, if you know what I mean (god, you're a perv). In other words, I have always been someone who fancies two-piece button-up sets, or the no-fail button-up nightshirt.
So, with Man Repeller's Amelia Diamond as my inspiration, I decided to take my passion for PJs one step further by throwing together five foolproof ways to break your nightwear out of the bedroom. I know you've all gone out with the sweatshirt and/or parka over your pajama top when it's chilly out look (OK; maybe that's just me). But personally, I think it's about time we start living life on the edge. That’s right: I’m proposing we start wearing our pajama tops to work, out to lunch or even out on the town — because PJs are nothing if not another opportunity to be fashionable. Am I right?
1. TUCKED INTO BOYFRIEND JEANS
I'm Wearing: This look couldn't have been easier. I simply tucked in my cotton pajama top from Victoria's Secret with a pair of ultra comfy distressed boyfriend jeans from Forever21 and magic: I've never felt more myself in an outfit.
2. UNDER A LEATHER JACKET
I'm Wearing: For this look, I paired my cheetah print (America's favorite neutral) top, again from Victoria's Secret with a leather jacket from Forever21. I know — clearly I shop at a wide variety of stores.
3. THE KNOTTED CROP
I'm Wearing: I was feeling summer beachy vibes in this look in my Besty Johnson top and high-waisted jeans from Forever21 (similar). So I then added my go-to white Converse kicks and a pair of $5 sunnies from god-knows-where, and I was feelin' that summertime sadness.
4. THE NIGHT SHIRT + BLAZER
I'm Wearing: This pajama shirt from Victoria's Secret (surprise!) is an absolute dream. Please get it immediately if you value your comfort and overall happiness. I paired it with a blazer I got from a thrift shop and voilá. I'm sophisticated! Right?!
5. SIMPLE AND BOOKISH
I'm Wearing: Here, I've got on another supersoft sleep shirt from Victoria's Secret tucked into my favorite cargo pants from LOFT (similar). I added some specs from Warby Parker and felt ready to hit the library in this laid-back look. Pshh: As if I would be hitting up the library over break. But still: I could've.
