Please keep pyjamas for bedtime

I don’t know about you but I just can’t adjust to the pyjama hype this season. Some trends are best left on the catwalk and for the glossy editorial spreads, for me this is one of them. Whether it is high fashion or not no one should wear pyjamas out in public.

Pucci, D&G and Stella McCartney went for sleepwear on the catwalk for SS12 and now Rihanna, Florence Welch, Kirsten Dunst and many more are being papped out and about in their ‘stylish’ pyjama daywear.

I am all for super comfy clothing but this is taking it too far. Loose fitting, no shape and crazy ass prints - celebs flocking to wear unflattering clothes is giving the passive fashion public the wrong idea.

I don’t care how many people are wearing it this is a tricky trend to master - choose one too loose and your swamping your frame, one too silky and you may as well become Hugh Hefner.

During a fashion segment on This Morning (this morning) a stylist struggled to showcase the pyjama trend from the high street and explained the pieces picked were supposed to be pyjama ‘inspired’ – what?

Technically he showed off a collection of paisley and chain mail outfits that are a trend within themselves as Patrick Kielty rightly pointed out.

Instead of trying to make this trend work for you I say steer clear and just keep pyjamas for when you sleep alone in the bed and for lounging about the house.
