Thanks to quarantine, everyone has been investing in cozy loungewear and cute sleepwear this year. We’re here to tell you that it is perfectly acceptable (and even fashionable!) to wear your pajamas in public now!
There are both simple and extravagant ways to do this; if you don’t want to draw too much attention, you can wear an oversized tee and biker shorts. If you’re looking to make a real statement, you can wear a full-on matching pajama set, complete with accessories!
