The pajama look doesn’t have to result in yet another uninspired over-sized T-shirt and Nike shorts ensemble. Given you may not be at that point in your life where you wear lingerie to bed, let alone out in public, but through this look you can go from sleepwear to street-wear in no time. This look brings in a whole lot of femininity and mixes it with chic, bold elements to give off the message that you don’t need to necessarily incorporate masculine tones or be overtly sexual to give off a strong image. This look proves that delicate, feminine attributes can be synonymous to a strong image as well.
Recreating this look is as effortless as rolling out of bed in it. Start with your lingerie basics, the slip dress or top. The trend is on such a rise, retailers are providing pieces that are not necessarily lingerie but tops with satin-like sheen and lace to emulate that look. Then find your fishnets that you usually only break out once a year on Halloween. This gives the look an edgier and risque vibe that is immediately toned down by a pair of holey and distressed jeans. Cuff the jeans at the bottom so you can show a sliver of fishnets and ankle before it disappears into your high ankle, leather booties that provide a nice balance of casual and intimate. To accessorize, this Fashionista added a skinny black choker that keeps it simple. To top it off, she wore an olive green bomber jacket to add a fall touch to her outfit. You could opt the jacket out if it’s warmer or go for a fur jacket if it’s colder in your area. She kept her makeup simple and neutral and pulled her hair back into two side dutch braids, which keeps the focus on the lingerie and also keeps it subtle and tasteful.
The great thing about this trend is the versatility of it. You can wear the lingerie out in it’s simple form and dress it up for a more formal event, or you can dress it down with denim and wear it to class and then come home to just sleep in your pjs. Whichever the occasion, you will most likely be the most comfortable and trendy person in the room. Now you’re ready to take on this trend in any setting. Good Luck Fashionistas/os!
