Saw this picture in a fashion article in today's TODAY newspaper. The passage was about the author toying with the idea of wearing pyjamas as daywear and how he experimented and eventually ended up donning PJs to his workplace. The article originated from The Guardian, somewhere far far away in England.
What got me thinking (TODAY has this slogan "we set you thinking") was the idea of wearing pyjamas out of your house. This has never crossed my mind and it just seems so futuristic plus avant-garde yet plain and modest.
I used to get turned off whenever I notice people donning their sleeping attire in the heartlands of Singapore. And I am one hundred percent sure that they come from a famous country called China. Maybe it is because of the mundane colours like white or beige that make the average pyjamas unsuitable for the outdoors. Plus, these China people will match them with a pair of flip-flops.
However, in the above picture, the model looks stunning at first sight and continues to exude flair and charm similar to how a fashionista would. However, the colour plays a vital role to whether the guy is able to pull off the look. A darker colour like purple would add more formality to the sloppy concept of PJs.
Also, print patterns make the overall image look more uniformed and adds formality to it. In the picture which was taken at the Topshop Design Spring/Summer 2012 show, a cardigan was added to tone down the impression that one is purposely wearing pyjamas as a fashion statement.
Last but not least, a pair of bright-coloured loafers complimented well with the attire to give off a casual but serious-trendsetting look. I would happily put that attire on if you ask me to but that is provided if I am attending a D&D or some function. Definitely not to the office or on the streets.
