A quick check in the dictionary will tell you pajamas are “clothes for wearing to bed and sleeping in, usually consisting of a loose-fitting shirt and pants/trousers.” But since we have the likes of Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Elle Fanning, Victoria Beckham and a slew of others in our generation, the nightwear has gone beyond an indoor staple to a basic daytime ensemble. Maybe it’s time for dictionaries to update the definition or better still, a name change because we’re already convinced the nighties are even chicer, glamorous on the streets than on the bed.
For instance, when Victoria Beckham strutted her pins on the streets of New York last week, wearing a 2-piece pajamas with her hands stylishly dipped into the pockets, no one could deny Pj’s cannot make for a great going-out style. So if you’ve been saving your own for bedtime, it’s time to let loose and slip into the nightwear to your favorite destination.
