7 Cool Pajamas And Sleepwear Sets You Could Theoretically Wear Straight To Work

It may feel like you’re in a bit of a holiday wasteland after the winter holidays and Easter or Passover festivities, just waiting around for an excuse to eat copious amounts of food and lounge around in your pajamas at your parents’ house. While you may not be able to take a day off of work to watch Netflix in your PJs, you might be surprised to learn that you can actually wear said PJs to work. April 16th is National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, a sort of Casual Friday to the extreme that may even make you feel excited to get out of bed in the morning. And because it falls the day after Tax Day, I think that you more than deserve it.

While you prepare for the brilliance that is Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, you might want to brush up on your “How to Be Productive in Your Sweats” skills — and possibly invest in a pair of work-appropriate pajamas just for the occasion. They may be great for sleeping, but your PINK short shorts leftover from college and that Goo Goo Dolls T-shirt that’s covered in holes aren’t exactly cohesive to your five-year plan — so shop these instead.
