How to Wear Pajamas To A Party

If the thought of wearing pajamas anywhere but to bed seems like a dream, it’s certainly a recurring one as far as trends go. The last few seasons saw a slew of pajama suits making their way out of the bedroom and onto the runways, deeming this comfortably chic duo perfectly suitable for the sidewalks (and your next shindig).

Forget about your frumpy cotton nighty or stained gym sweats. The art of proper pajama dressing is simple, so long as you follow a few rules.

Stick With Silk

If you’re worried about looking sloppy or frumpy, stick with a sexy silk style for maximum versatility. The top will evoke your most formal silk blouse but in a modern, cool way. Pair your set with a plain stiletto or simple pump and finish with gold accents to make your look party-ready.

Go Dark After Dark

Dark neutrals and rich jewel tones look best when partnered with pajamas. Deep purple, maroon, green and navy complement anything you style them with and make an excellent case for holiday or evening dressing. Take your outfit from obvious to daring with metallic accessories and d’orsay flats or a masculine brogue.

Finish With Bold Accents

All it really takes to pull off the pajama look is confidence and a few bold accessories. Red is a failsafe color to elevate your ensemble for evening. Top off a floral print set or jewel toned PJ top with a bright red lip or a crossbody bag to really make your outfit pop. Finish with a simple sandal and gold earrings to ground this sexy look.

Break It Up

The best part about pajama dressing is being able to easily break up the set to suit any occasion. If your soiree is more on the formal side, stick with the set to keep it elegant. If the dress code is more casual, nix the pants for a sexy skinny jean, sky high heels and a tailored blazer or opt for a simple trouser.

While technically you may look like you’re ready for bed, pajamas can leave you looking ready to party all night. So the next time you find yourself asking, “What the hell do I wear tonight?”, do yourself a favor and make it a pajama suit.

Be effortlessly cool at your next party in a chic pair of pajamas.
