Pajamas in Public: You're Missing Out If You Haven't Tried It
We all likely fall into one of two camps: Those who barely need an invitation to wear their PJs outside the house and those totally horrified by the thought of it. To those in the latter group, we see your hesitation but fear you’re missing out.
The pajama dressing trend has been prominent for a few years now, and seeing as so many women currently favor the comfort of sneakers over stilettos or track pants over trousers, it comes as no surprise. Indulging in a silky set or cozy robe at home is a highly encouraged upgrade for any lazy weekend, but there's no reason a Saturday night couldn't benefit as much from a pretty nightgown as a Sunday afternoon can. So ahead, we've provided options for all.
