Fashion Dilemma - Pajama Trousers

 I like loungewear. One of my favourite things about my job is that a lot of it can be done from home, whilst wearing my ever increasing wardrobe of pajamas, onesies, leggings and other comfortable clothing. I also take quite great pride in my loungewear, just like my ordinary clothing, it has to be in flattering colours and styles for me. Even if I am staying at home and the only people who are going to see me are my dogs (yes, my dogs are people as far as I'm concerned) then I still want to feel like I look good.

However, thus far I have drawn the line at venturing out of the house in said loungewear. OK, maybe a quick run up the road to the shop for emergency chocolate, but that's it, I swear. Fashion has other ideas. Fashion has thrown us another curve ball folks, pajama trousers, as daywear.

PJs in the Day


We perhaps should have seen it coming with the influx of printed palazzo pants last Summer, pajamas were only ever a step away.

So, once more I'm in a fashion dilemma. The idea of wearing something as comfortable as this is more than a little appealing, I also love the luxe fabrics and funky prints, and after all, pajamas were originally intended as daywear and worn as such in Asia for generations.

However, I can't help but think it would feel a little bit wrong, and is it a slippery slope? In a few years will we have black tie fleecy onesies?

Let me know your thoughts people - pajama trousers, yay or nay?

  2. Thanks Dawn, glad you're enjoying the blog!

    I do think that this trend is a little different from just wearing your flannelette PJ bottoms out, it does really need to be in a luxe fabric to have any chance of working, but I'm still really not sure about it!
