How to Wear Your Pajamas Outside
The Sort-of-a-Kimono Robe
Take this kimono-inspired robe out of your bedroom and off to breakfast with distressed denim and a pair of metallic tasseled oxfords. Because most kimonos are printed, wear a plain T-shirt in a neutral color to avoid looking over-styled. Looks like you just found your new fall jacket.
The Menswear Sleep Shirt
You can easily pass off this comfy shirt as a smart button-up with flared jeans or, if you're headed to an event, leather pants and a pair of heels. Avoid any loose-fitting trousers or wide-leg pants, as this will make the whole look read a little too I'm-wearing-my-pajamas-out.
The Get-Out-of-the-House Coat
A slinky house coat can actually read as a glam statement piece if done right. Worn over a slim, midi-length dress with a pair of pretty pink slip-ons, the look transitions smoothly from day to night.
The They're-Not-PJ-Pants PJ Pants
The trick to wearing a pajama pant as an actual pair of pants is to add a rocker twist to the look with a snarky graphic T-shirt and a leather jacket. Throw on a pair of heels to affect just the right casual, but stylish attitude.
The Smoking Slipper Redux
The smoking slipper might have traditionally been worn by dads in living rooms, but you can add a feminine twist on the shoe with miniskirt and sweatshirt in a bold hue. Less Hugh Hefner and more girl-on-a-coffee-run.
