Rebecca Stead once said, “Pajamas are good for the soul.” and every millennial felt it to the bones. From instagram bios to facebook captions, with this quote many made a statement revoking the age old belief that pajamas were nothing more than a piece of bedtime clothing.
Pajamas for years have divided people into two schools of thought – the patrons who believe pajamas are a state of mind & way of life and the other group that doesn’t deem them fit to be worn outside the confinement of the four walls of a bedroom.

The Playful Plains
Plain pajamas come highly recommended by the Pajama Pros. It’s important to have solids of all kinds – from solid t-shirts to solid bottoms, in your wardrobe at all times as they’re easy to style and result in an effortlessly cool look.
The same is the story with plain pajamas, plain pajamas are easily passable as acceptable casual wear. Finding one in a color that suits you and a fabric that suits your body type is however important.We suggest bright colors for a cute slumber party and darker hues for an outdoor walk by the beach or a late night jog in the park. When speaking of fabric, cotton or a hybrid of cotton or silk are always the best choice. Avoid flimsy fabrics since they don’t fit well on flesh, highlight chubby areas and give an unkempt appearance.

Nerdy Cute
