Have you ever been one of those people that struggle to get up in the morning?
Well, take comfort in knowing that you’re not sailing that boat alone; I swear I’m known as that girl who rolls into a 10am lecture with bed hair and toothpaste around her mouth still.
The same thing happens every morning around: 7am – alarm, snooze, alarm…snooze?, alarm…SHIT! It’s 8am…I have 10 minutes to get ready! (I mean, who even eats breakfast nowadays anyway? Not me that’s for sure!)
Then you encounter that horrid little situation of what to wear.
You have two options at this point: chuck on the closest item of clothing or continue wearing your pyjamas.
Now, usually I’d say to opt for the daytime garments, but looking at 2016’s spring/summer catwalk has given me a get out of jail card: as far as I can tell, it is now acceptable to wear our nightwear to work!
I repeat, WE CAN WEAR OUR PJ’S DURING THE DAY!
‘What? Are you sure, because that’s crazy!’ I hear you say. Yeah, I thought it was weird too, because although we say we’d like to roll out of bed and turn up to work in our fluffy onesie, would any of us really go through with it? The catwalk didn’t quite specify if our woolly nightclothes would quite be up to scratch for daytime statement pieces; and something’s telling me, no. But lingerie-styled attire, made in the image of nightwear, definitely cuts in the bright light of day.
Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Calvin Klein and Celine are but a few of designers who are making this trend the next best thing to sliced bread. Their oyster-coloured silk robes, trailing ribbons and plunge lace necklines are now gracefully sashaying down the runway and into the shops.
Now, I don’t know about you but, I definitely do not wear sexy, oyster-coloured, curve emphasising silk nightgowns to snooze in. Do you?
If that’s a no, then you best get yourself down to the stores, because who could pass up this comfy, no love handle induced, rolled out of bed cosy fashion statement?… Not you? That’s what I thought!
…I’ll meet you down there.
