As it turns out, the pajama pants I bought at the beginning of quarantine back in March have proven to be one of my best investments as I adjust to work-from-home life. I miss all my nicer clothes that are collecting dust, but I certainly can't complain that I'm lucky enough to work in my PJs. (But sorry to my neighbors who have to witness my various states of dishevelment while I walk my dog.)
Even if you're not working from home, I think a new pair of pajamas can be an easy way to treat yourself. When you think about it, there aren't too many other items in your closet that you can truly wear every single day, so the cost-per-wear of new PJs can be quite low. To that end, I've rounded up the 4 best pajama trends that celebrities like Mindy Kaling and Yara Shahidi have been wearing recently. Hopefully, this list will inspire you to ditch the old college T-shirt once and for all.
1. Floral Short Sets
On Yara Shahidi: Uniqlo Women Joy of Print Soft Stretch Pajamas ($20)
Thank you, Yara, for bringing this ridiculously cute $30 set to our attention.
Shahidi's PJs also come in this cute pink color.
On Cindy Crawford: Mira Mikati Embroidered Sweatshirt ($200) and Shorts.
Very "grandma chic," no?
So comfortable, so cute.
On Reese Witherspoon: Draper James pajamas; Ugg Slippers ($90)
Copy Reese Witherspoon and wear these with Ugg slippers for a night day at home.
This lively tropical print is so fun.
2. Pink Stripes
On Emma Roberts: Pour les Femmes pajamas
Pink and white will always be a great color combo.
Yep, this is all I want to wear right now.
On Laura Dern: Pour les Femmes pajamas
I always trust that Nordstrom's in-house brand will be high-quality and comfortable.
On Jasmine Tookes: Victoria's Secret
Yes, you can definitely wear this top with jeans too.
A great upgrade from college T-shirts.
3. Loose-Fitting Pant Sets
On Gabrielle Union: Sammy B. Dexter Tie-Front Shirt ($104), Dana Kriss Kross Bralette ($42), and Dane Summer Pants ($78)
Gabrielle Union introduced us to this fantastic NYC-based brand.
Doesn't get any more classic than gingham.
On Whitney Port: Free People Hailee Sweater Set ($128)
Because who wants to wear anything form-fitting to bed?
H&M's prices are always hard to beat.
Easy, breezy. I love this pale blue color.
4. Basic Sweatpants
Nike is always a smart investment.
On Mindy Kaling: Ugg Genuine Shearling Slippers ($120)
Part cargo pants, part sweatpants, 100% cool.
This sale price is certainly tempting.
