This is a collaborative post. All opinions are my own.
With people quarantined at home all over the world, I'm curious if any effects will last even after the shelter in place orders are lifted. Will more companies allow their employees to work from home, now that they have the capabilities in place? Will colleges offer more online classes? Will more parents choose homeschooling once they've gotten a taste of it? And now that we're all getting to wear PJs all day...will daytime pajamas become a thing?? Pajamas are so comfortable, and often come in chic fabrics and stylish, colorful prints. I can see us trying to get away with wearing them out of the house! Why not? Mix-and-match your favorite nightwear pieces with your favorite daywear pieces, and finish off the look with the right , and finish off the look with the right accessory in fiery opalescence tone. No one will be the wiser!

Trade Your Blazers for PJ Tops
Jackets, cardigans, and wraps are perfect for cool spring nights, and they’re a necessity in the summer, when office buildings feel more like walk-in freezers. When you're getting sick of your usual go-to cardigans and blazers, try a long-sleeved, button-down PJ top with a nice wide lapel. Ones with solid colors or simple patterns (like stripes and checks) can totally pass for a light jacket.
Turn Your Nightgowns into Day Gowns
Your great aunt would have rather died than been caught walking down the street in nothing but a slip, but times have changed. Pajamas for women have gotten more stylish, and slips and nightgowns can be worn as tops or dresses without raising any eyebrows. Pair a simple, satiny slip with a nice cardigan, black pants, and dressy flats for a sophisticated day look. A pretty nightgown with lace detailing can work as a cute dress, if it's topped with a structured blazer and a pair of high heels.
Wear Your Blingiest Jewelry and Your Nicest Shoes
PJs are the definition of casual, so the easiest way to make your pajamas look like they're, well, not pajamas? Fancy accessories. This is an excuse to wear your nicest statement jewelry and your chicest shoes. Go for something eye-catching and quirky! While you shouldn’t toss out the rules of matching shoes to your outfit, choosing an interesting shoe is okay – even encouraged. Just make sure you leave the sneakers and running shoes in your closet. To pull off the PJs-all-day look, you need to dress it up.
Complete the Look with a Bright Lip and a Bold Eye
You shouldn’t wear your makeup to bed, which is precisely why you should wear makeup if you're going to pull off daytime pajamas. A bold makeup look will make you look put-together and glamorous (and not like you just rolled out of bed). You can go all the way with a colorful, dramatic look or stick to a sharp and retro cat’s eye in black eyeliner.
What do you think? After this quarantine is over, can you see people successfully rocking the pajamas-all-day trend?
