Pyjama Party: How to get the new pjs trend right

Could there be anything dreamier than wearing pyjamas during the day and not looking cray? We don’t think so. Luckily, fashion is currently on the side of comfort (for once).

Now, when we say pjs we aren’t talking about fleecy onesies or your fave holey lounge pants. This trend is luxe meaning any funny nightwear needs to stay firmly put in the bedroom.

This also isn't an opportunity to release your inner hussy. Itsy bitsy lacy numbers and sheer bodysuits are still bedroom fodder. We doubt your local cafe will welcome french knickers for brunch anytime soon. To get 2016’s pyjama party trend right there are a few rules that must be followed…

Pyjama Texture

Again, fleece and brushed cotton is a no-no for anywhere outside of the safety of your bedroom. For a fancy feel to daytime pjs opt for silky, satin fabrics in classic shades with minimal prints.

Pyjama Detail

A slinky pj top with contrasting piping and covered buttons is the easiest way to work this trend. Team with girlfriend jeans and heels or a leather pencil skirt. If you’re feeling all kinds of brave why not wear your button-up top with the matching bottoms? This trend isn't solely for two-piece pj fans. A silky robe-style jacket totally works.

Beauty

Just because we’re saying you can wear your (swish) pjs outside doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to swerve the shower or avoid your hairbrush. This is the opposite of unkempt. On the contrary, because the outfit is so relaxed, polished locks and slick make up is a must. We love a slick of fiery red lippy with day-chic pyjamas.

Pyjama extras

Wearing a double-hit of pyjamas? If you’re doing a top ‘n’ bottom look add heels and a bright lip to really dress up. Plain sneaks look cool with slouchy satin trews and a chunky knit but always make sure hair and make up is Olivia Palermo-perfect. A delicate necklace on the décolletage and some stackable rings keep the whole look feeling luxe yet understated.

Body Talk

Try wearing a size up. Tight fitting satin pants don’t even look good on a Victoria’s Secret model. This look is polished-relaxed and should flow. Got a curvy bottom half? Try layering a pj top under something more structured, an A-line pinafore dress for instance.
