How to Make Every Day Pajama Day

Wake up jerks! There’s a new trend circulating that will have you leaping out of bed in the morning. We know, hard to believe, but just bear with us. 

Pajamas. as clothes. No, you’re not dreaming… this is a real thing. 

From runway looks to chic street style, pajama sets are on the come-up and we are absolutely here for it. Trendsetters like Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Sophie Turner, and Cara Delevingne have all been spotted sporting PJ sets recently, and they actually look sickening. So if Gigi Hadid can wear a green and white striped full-length pajama set with nude stilettos to run errands, why the hell can’t you? 

Okay, okay, we get that this idea may sound a little daunting at first. The thought of wearing your pajamas to class might remind you of that one recurring nightmare where you’re suddenly walking down Marshall Street barefoot in your Hello Kitty nightgown (don’t even try to deny that you have one). But trust us, it’s really not what it sounds like! Picture having the boss-bitch energy of a pantsuit with the comfort of your favorite sweats. It’s the best of both worlds! Changed your mind yet? 

If you’re not ready to fully commit to the pajama trend, we recommend pairing fun sleepwear pieces with your favorite basics. Think flowy PJ shorts with a cute crop top or the top of your button-down set and that one pair of boyfriend jeans that makes your butt look really good. 

But don’t stop there! Spice up your nightwear with pajamas too. Lingerie inspired bodysuits have been a wildly popular trend for going out. Instead of dropping money on the usual head-to-toe Urban Outfitters uniform, take a look in the pajama section and you might find something ~saucy~ and half-priced for your next night out.

Did you think we were finished there? Please, the opportunities are endless! Searching for a cute slip dress? Look no further than your pajama drawer. Lacey little nightgowns make for the perfect layering piece. Throw a slip over a fun long sleeve or pair it with an oversized jacket for a unique and stylish look. 

Take running late to your 8 a.m., but make it fashion and don’t miss out on the pajama trend. 

You’ll thank us later.
