How to Style Pajamas as Daywear: 10 Ways

While self-quarantining at home, this is the perfect time to explore how to style pajamas as daywear. And then as we gather in public again, this is always a comfortable style that can be made chic for around town and for evenings. Age doesn’t matter!

So today I’d like to explore ten ways to wear pajamas as daywear, along with some tips to help inspire you further. Even if you stay at home, you’ll look like you’re actually dressed! Best of all, you can drop into bed at the end of a tiring day without changing…or rather, my favorite is to get up in the morning already dressed. 😉 All you have to do is accessorize for day.

When my kids were in high school, the girls started wearing pajama pants to school in place of their regular pants, skirts or jeans.  And they managed to look perfectly normal.  After that, I learned from my daughter that I could go about town in pajama pants as long as they looked presentable (such as plaid, etc.) So if I was just going to run out to the store or something like that, I would wear a t-shirt and a pair of plaid pajama pants with street shoes and accessories.

In the last few years, designers have been creating pajama sets for day that are made of luxe materials and look quite glamorous. For instance, the Johnny Was catalog sells some nice ones (see above.) An updated pajama set can be made of satin or velvet. And a velvet pajama set that has a camisole top can actually be used year round.

How to Wear a Chambray Shirt with Ease and Style

I collect classic pieces for a versatile wardrobe.  They are like the basic building blocks that form the structure of a wardrobe.  So age doesn’t matter.  For easy, laid-back and casual dressing, a chambray or denim shirt is an essential.  In this post, I am exploring how to wear a chambray shirt with ease and style, in order to get the most enjoyment and wear from it.

Chambray is like denim but lighter and softer so it makes a comfortable shirt.  You could also use an actual denim or a chambray-color tencel shirt interchangeably.

I’ll start with the general ways that you can style a chambray shirt, and then follow up with over 45 specific ideas for  how to wear it.  Choose your favorite outfit combinations and wear them in your favorite ways.  I hope you will then come back and leave a reply below to let us know what worked for you!
