The lingerie-as-daywear era is here

From sheets to streets

If it feels like your pajamas have never left your side since 2020... you're not alone. But what was once homebound comfort is now runway-ready. Welcome to sleepwear’s athleisure moment: where fluid silks, relaxed tailoring, and slouchy sets are claiming space in the daylight.

From luxury labels to cult-favorite indies, brands are reimagining sleepwear as a style statement, not just a nighttime necessity, according to a recent article on Business of Fashion (read here). Behind the trend? A cultural shift toward comfort without compromise, where consumers demand softness, but also want to look pulled-together. As the lines between categories blur, sleepwear is stepping out of the bedroom: onto the street and even the front row.

The tailored PJ look

Sleepwear, but make it sharp. Think piped pajama shirts tucked into high-waisted trousers or paired with structured blazers. The contrast between soft fabrics and clean tailoring gives an effortless elegance: perfect for coffee meetings or gallery strolls. Opt for monochrome sets in silk or sateen to keep it polished, not slouchy.

Robe as outerwear

Why save the robe for lazy Sundays when it makes such a dramatic statement on the street? A floor-length robe or kimono in satin or velvet layers beautifully over jeans and a tank or even a bodycon dress. Belt it at the waist, add heels or chunky boots, and you've turned downtime into prime-time style.

Luxe loungewear layers

Build your outfit like a fashion editor: start with a ribbed bralette and matching shorts or joggers, then add a slouchy cardigan or oversized button-down. Mix and match textures, jersey, silk, cashmere, for dimension. The result? A cozy, curated look that reads intentional, not improvised.

The night dress redefined

Once reserved for bedtime, the night dress is now a daytime favorite. With its flowing silhouette and soft fabrics, it pairs effortlessly with leather jackets, knits, or sneakers - striking the perfect balance between ease and elegance.
