YES You CAN Wear Pajamas to Class!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UAB chapter.


At Her Campus UAB, if there’s one “trend” we cannot stand around campus, it’s sweatpants or pajama bottoms. We know they’re comfortable and you have that 8am class, but it takes the same amount of time to throw a pair of jeans on. However, this season’s fashion proved us wrong when they started showing (GASP!) pajamas on the runway. Here’s some tips on how to rock the trend for your 8am class, without looking like you just rolled out of bed.

Take inspiration from these photos and notice that there’s no plaid flannel bottoms or “I Love Pink” written on the butt. These outfits are meant for people to turn their heads and say “Is she wearing pajamas or not?”. The colors are mainly kept in neutral prints and colors and have simple, fabulous accessories like heels and oversized clutches. So, in case you’re still skeptical on taking this trend from runway to hallway, here are some outfit recipes we’ve cooked up for you.

So there you have it, pajamas can be comfy AND fashionable. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Have you rocked the trend? Show us your pajama street style on our Facebook page
