Pyjama dressing is exactly what it sounds like: wearing pajamas as part of your everyday wardrobe. If I had my way, I would never wear anything but pyjamas. (And fabulous shoes, of course.) When my employer offered me the chance to work from home, I jumped at it, because it meant I could spend my weekdays in loungewear. More than three years later, the appeal of wearing pyjamas on a daily basis hasn’t diminished. At all.

Admittedly, my pyjamas aren’t all stylish. Most of them, in fact, feature some kind of cartoon animal print. But I do own one incredibly elegant pair from Wear Elise. You’ve all seen them before, when I’ve styled them as traditional pyjamas. And they are the loveliest traditional pyjamas I’ve ever owned. But as far as I’m concerned, garments this beautiful deserve to be seen. Thus, I present you with my first attempt at pyjama dressing.

There is nothing revolutionary about this look. I’m not reinventing the morning outfit planning wheel. Pyjama dressing, for me, is as simple as swapping out the blouse I would have otherwise pulled from my closet for my beloved silk pyjama top. And that’s sort of the point, I think. It shouldn’t be hard to come up with outfits or experiments with new styles. Very often, all of the clothes you need to create new looks are already in your closet – or, in this case, in your pyjama drawer!

I know pyjama dressing isn’t for everyone, but for me it perfectly epitomises the kind of effortlessness that I want in my sartorial life. Tell me, though, where do you stand on wearing your pyjamas as daywear? Would you try it?
