Don’t sleep on this trend.
While students have long worn pajamas to class, PJs as everyday wear have spread from the classroom to the dorm room.
Gen Z workers are now wearing relaxed clothing in the workplace, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
“Corporate girls wear pajamas to work,” a TikTok creator named Rachel captioned a recent video in which she showed off her office attire, silk pajama pants and all.
Rose Colcord, the founder of Cou Cou Intimates, said the only place she wouldn’t wear reception clothes would be “an important first impression business meeting”.
Her brand launched a pair of pajama pants for $118 last fall, and they nearly sold out in the first 48 hours of the exclusive subscriber sale. Meanwhile, luxury fashion houses have introduced their own iterations of comfortable chic in ready-to-wear collections, from Louis Vuitton to Dries Van Noten.
Younger generations wearing pajama pants to the workplace and to the classroom is likely a result of the comfortable chic fashion that was carried by celebrities this summer – much to the chagrin of parents who are now scrutinizing their clothing choices. of their children.
“They literally go with everything,” Luciana Leyva, a student and content creator, told The Journal, adding that she wore them to school paired with Birkenstocks.
“A bunch of people said, ‘Oh my god, I love your pants.’
Mom and radio host Anna Zapotosky told The Journal she thought it was “pajama day” at her daughter’s Connecticut high school when she walked up to the building and saw the pile of students in their pajamas. Then she realized, “That’s exactly what they wear here now.”
“I was kind of terrified,” said Zapotosky, who posted a viral “Instagram Reel” on the subject. “To me, it just seems so lazy.”
But parents be damned, on TikTok — which is most popular with high schoolers and twenty-somethings — creators demonstrate how to style striped, plaid, silk, and linen pajamas for the classroom and beyond, often pairing the pants with sweaters or t-shirts.
“Comfort is next level!” one TikToker rejoiced.
“Disliked opinion: it’s perfectly acceptable to wear pajama pants as regular pants,” argued another.
Phoebe Chaytor, a Vancouver-based content creator and high school student, told The Journal that today’s pants are “very aesthetic” — they’re not the “ugly Christmas PJs” that some critics might imagine.
While her school does not enforce a strict dress code, others around the country are beginning to change their guidelines to allow for the pajama pants trend, such as Georgia’s Whitfield County School District, which voted to add PJ- of in regulation.
“A number of our students, especially high school kids, want to sleep in as late as possible,” committee member Chris Parker told The Journal. “So it’s easier to put on pajama pants and a T-shirt and come to school.”
He hasn’t received any complaints from parents or educators about the new decision, saying he heard “more” when the district allowed shorter shorts in the classroom.
“There are other things that administrators need to focus on than whether a child is wearing pajama pants versus leggings,” he said.
