Is it acceptable to start wearing pyjamas outside?

Peak comfort, but is wearing your PJ's outside peak style?

With the days getting colder, afternoons getting darker, and the holidays getting closer, there’s nothing we all want more than to stay wrapped up in bed in our cosiest pyjamas, next to the radiator with a giant mug of hot chocolate. All you want to do is roll out of bed and head to your lecture in your dressing gown or sit in the (freezing!) library in that onesie you’ve had since 2013 - so we’re asking: can we start wearing our pyjamas outside?

Recently, brands such as Brandy Melville and Tom’s Trunks have made ‘pyjama style’ trousers popular, so if you don’t want to be spending the money on those, why not just grab a pair of pyjamas from Primark or Sainsbury’s – think plaid or blue and white stripes, and you can get a similar look for half the price. A quick search on Pinterest will give you tons of inspiration on how to achieve the comfiest look.

No one will even notice they’re pyjamas – and you’ll be the comfiest person walking down the street!

We also recommend hunting around in your local charity shops! If you can take the time to search, you can always find a hidden gem, and you’d be surprised at how current they keep their stock rotating to showcase the trends that have filtered down.

If you’re not someone to spend on changing trends, why not think sustainably, and invest in a quality pair of woollen pyjamas? I promise you, they will be the cosiest thing you’ve ever worn, and you can get them in a range of colours, such as neutral browns, black, or even white (if you’re careful with that hot chocolate!). It’s a great gift to ask for if you’re celebrating Christmas that will keep you warm every year and remind you of whoever bought them for you – or even treat yourself! Pair with a hoodie and a throw-on overcoat, and no one will even notice they’re pyjamas – and you’ll be the comfiest person walking down the street!

Despite this, if I saw someone walking into my lectures, or strolling around the Philip Robinson library in a striking pair of red pyjamas – I can’t say I wouldn’t be jealous, and would probably end up wishing I’d just done the same. So, why don’t we just choose comfort over style this season and wear whatever we want – as long as we’re all keeping warm, anything goes!
