With full awareness that it’s going to make me sound OLD and out of touch, I must weigh in on the latest trend of wearing pajama bottoms out in public: it looks really stupid. I’m sure the people who are out and about dressed in brightly patterned flannel think, "I’m comfortable and fashionable."
I have some news for you: you look like you’ve escaped from a long-term, in-patient care facility. Or maybe as though you were on your way to a slumber party and your car broke down and – oops! how embarrassing! – you ended up on the street in your PJs.
Take it from someone who lived through the Zubaz fad, weird pants are always a fashion no-no. Ask anyone with a pair of M.C. Hammer pants in his closet. I thought we’d made good progress in the past few years on the "sweats should only be worn to, from and at the gym" issue, and now there’s a whole new category of ugly, baggy, unflattering pants creeping into the public eye.
People, the next time you’re considering leaving the house in your pajamas, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Your outfit is missing something…some accessory. When you realize that the most appropriate accessory would be a teddy bear or a well-worn blanket, head back to your closet and put on some jeans. For everyone’s sake.
