At first, the idea of pajamas masquerading as ready to wear fashion seems a little nuts, but if lingerie can be worn out on any girls night and cozy flannel pants are donned off-campus by co-eds everywhere, why can’t classic pajamas enjoy their time to walk in the sun?

Dolce & Gabbana

The only way to see if this Dolce & Gabbana approved trend will actually work is to go ahead and get comfortable with it. Decking yourself out in head to toe sleepwear, may work for Hugh Hefner, but most of us will need to be a little more selective in choosing intimate pieces to mix in with our existing wardrobe.

Five Ways to Experiment with Pajamas

Sleep Shirts - Style as you would a great blouse and pair with your favorite jeans.

Elizabeth & James, Sartorialist, Men's PJ Top

Delicate Robes - Secure and wear like a wrap dress or open like a cardigan.

Phoebe Carlyle, Not on the High Street, Nicole Richie

Flannel Tops - Wear like a plaid shirt and layer over tees or under jackets.

Victoria's Secret, Trend Hunter

Silk Bottoms - Add heels and structured top or Recycle into Harem Pants. 

Balmain and Adam Lippes

Bed Jackets - Delicate vintage substitute for modern fashion capelet.

That Girl Vintage, Giambattista Valli, Andrew Gn, Midnight Glamour

Play around a little, after all that’s what trends are for. You might end up with some edgy new fashion statements or possibly just a chic little ensemble for inside the house, but let those pajamas have a chance at style, I DARE YOU…
