Have you ever wanted to stay in your pyjamas all day? Amid the global pandemic and #wfh life, 2020 was the year where fashionable pyjamas finally became socially acceptable outfits. Working or lounging in a good pair of pyjamas has become an essential this year and a pyjama suit is now definitely something to invest in, not only for the home, but also as stylish streetwear. Matching two-piece sets have already been a hit this season, as can be seen in the tracksuits and knitwear in stores, but pyjamas are even comfier – not to mention, more classic, timeless and luxe. Using sleepwear as daywear has become a norm, and we’re all ready to see what hits the streets once we step out into this new normal lifestyle.
This luxury pyjamas trend is clearly another must-have ensemble for modest wardrobes. The loose fit, long length and effortlessness of a chic and modest pyjama outfit is a dream come true for a modest dresser. Pair them with some sandals or sneakers for a casual day outfit, or, with some boots and a leather jacket for a night out. The combinations are endless!
Olivia Von Halle (pictured in main feature image) is one of the leading luxury loungewear brands that is known for its iconic pyjamas, worn by celebrities such as Gigi Hadid. Its latest Resort 2021 collection is perfect for the cool season as it features lush velvet pyjamas and matching embroidered full length robes and kimonos. The brand is known for blurring lines between nightwear and streetwear and it’s undeniably modest-fashion friendly. Here are some modest pyjama styling techniques to try out:
Pair pyjamas with a coat or robe
This technique is one of the easiest and effortless ways to walk out of the house in pyjamas – just throw a coat on top! For all the Middle Eastern modest readers reading this, we all know when throwing an abaya on top of our pyjamas has been a go-to. Take it to the next level and pair them with a trench coat, or even a velvet robe.
Couldn’t get any more comfier
Another easy technique is to pair your pyjamas with some fashionable sneakers. This transforms an at-home outfit into a modern streetwear look.
Fun Colour Combos
Pyjamas come in all sorts of colours and prints, so why not make it into a colourful outfit? It doesn’t have to be too crazy – just some coordinating colours like these:
Minimalistic-chic
For modest dressers who like their neutrals, pair your pyjamas with same-tone accessories to create a minimalistic modest outfit.
Classic prints with fanciful trims
If you find a matching pyjamas set in a timeless print like stripes, polka-dots or gingham checks, grab it before it’s gone. These are incredibly versatile, can be worn as separates, and can be easily dressed up or dressed down. A feathered hem is a cherry on top – and you can attempt to recreate this look yourself after a trip to the craft store.
Pyjama top with knit bottoms
You can always mix fashion trends! Pair a satin pyjama top with some knit pants to re-create this comfortable and chic look:
A leather jacket to finish
You can also pair your fun printed pyjama bottoms with a leather jacket or top for another easy combo, especially for those who don’t like to wear prints from top to bottom.
As we head into 2021, a year with looser style rules and an emphasis on individuality, how will you be styling your pyjamas?
