HOW TO DO PYJAMA DRESSING

If you think pyjama dressing is strictly sleepwear, think twice. Pyjamas have graduated from being an insignia of slumber to closet staples which are comfortable and cool. We got a number of cues from international designers on how to style our own pyjama look. Ladies, take notes

Keep it classic with a simple shirt | If you want to keep it simple and still make a statement, who better than Dolce & Gabbana to look up to? Their show in Milan had enough inspirations on how to pair a simple shirt with pyjamas. If you are short then take some cues from Tod’s SS 16, and Public School, in New York. They tucked in those shirts and belted them up. Do not forget to pair this look with heels.

Be more daring with a dress | Thinking out of the box is great and Celine always adheres. We got enough cues on how to pair a dress with pyjamas from their latest show. A dress with a pair of pyjamas exhibits innovation in style, and will make your summer easy.

Try the fuss-free look with lighter fabrics | If you strictly believe in fuss-free fashion then Alexander Wang has a few lessons. He cropped the pyjamas for his SS 16 and paired them with satin shirts and flats. We suggest you can even layer it under with a light-weight jacket, and heels. Cropped pyjamas will give you a culottes-like look but lighter in feel. You can even take hints from Gucci on how to have fun with a few add-ons such as bows, and elevate your style quotient. Those beige bows with pinned flowers over a parrot-green jumper jacket, at the show, were swoon worthy.

Footwear can be a game changer | Your pyjama look can be altered by the kind of footwear you choose. Calvin Klein’s athleisure inspired collection gave us enough lessons on how to pair sneakers with pyjamas to get a relaxed look yet keep it elegant. Damir Doma exhibited his understated glamour by pairing flats with pyjamas. Want to get high on heels for partying? Sonia Rykiel had enough looks for all the creatures of the night. Those sexy ankle-length pyjamas paired with heels will soon be rubbing shoulders with your Balmain disco dresses in your closet.
So, if you are still lingering over the fact that cropped denims or wide legged trousers would be cool for summer, move over. Pyjamas are here to be a staple in your wardrobe.
