3 Creative Ways I'm Styling My Pajamas in the House

Working from home [1] while sheltering in place hasn't exactly been stimulating from a fashion perspective [2], although I am admiring the consistent mirror selfies from my peers [3], and I can't say they haven't fuelled some outfit ideas. Personally, after debuting my crop-top cargo set [4] and dressing up for date night at home [5] — all while in the confines of my 760-square-foot apartment — I needed a change. Scratch that, I needed a style challenge if I didn't want to officially resort back to my mismatched sweats and faded muscle tees.

Enter: my Kate Spade New York falling flower PJ set. It's incredibly comfortable, but rather than jazzing it up, I'd been sloppily rolling up the pants and throwing on a cotton sports bra for meditation sessions. But one would argue this co-ord deserves the spotlight. So many influencers have been posting creative ways to dress up PJs [6], and I was eager to hop on that bandwagon.

I thought about the lonely pieces in my closet that could stand to see the light of day and dreamed up three different easy outfits that instantly brightened my mood — all revolving around the aforementioned PJs. I was able to hold onto a smidgen of comfort just knowing that the PJs at the foundation of my three different looks were the ones I could fall asleep in. But more importantly, I felt a little more like myself, fully living out a few fashion moments even though I was working from home. Scroll through to see my pajama style, then shop my exact coordinates, along with similar pairs that could be dressed up just as adorably.

Pajamas With a Blazer

Inspired by the structure an oversize blazer can bring a non-restrictive silhouette like a free-flowing dress or PJs, I decided to throw this tailored pink one on over the full coordinate set. I figured the bright shade, along with the gold hoops and chainlink necklace I added, may just cheer up a coworker during a Zoom meeting. I love how this WALD Berlin basket bag complements the whimsical print on the PJs, so had I actually needed another carton of milk, I would've absolutely toted it to the grocery store.

Pajama Pants With a Hoodie

I love the relaxed look of a sporty hoodie with PJ pants and some striped socks. When I'm just lounging around the house, I think it's fun to play with prints and patterns. I have a full rainbow set of scrunchies that I choose from depending on my athleisure colour scheme and the light pink one was a perfect match. If I had to step outside, I'd slip on these white low-top sneakers, especially since this PJ pant is cropped.

Pajama Shirt With Jeans

Perhaps my favourite laidback style move is a pair of mom jeans and a pajama shirt. I could sleep in my AGOLDE straight-leg denim — it's seriously that comfortable. A pair of magenta slingbacks spoke to my eccentric taste and I added some layered pendant necklaces to make things even more personal. It's safe to say that in this outfit, I was inspired to get some work done.
