More and more people are choosing a more comfortable style, both for staying at home and for going out. This is known as "loungewear," a trend that blends with traditional homewear: pajamas, nightgowns, and robes now also designed to be worn outside the house.
Why it has become a trend
Homewear street style is not a new idea. For several seasons now, international fashion weeks have been showcasing more and more looks that mix loungewear pieces with street clothes: long robes as an outer layer, pajama pants paired with blazers, and sleep camisoles under blazers.
This crossover between street fashion and homewear reflects a broader change in habits: remote work and the search for comfort in daily life have made the line between "at-home clothes" and "going-out clothes" increasingly blurred. It's not a passing seasonal trend; it's a different way of understanding wardrobe versatility.
What is homewear street style?
Homewear street style involves wearing pieces originally designed for home, combined with street clothes. A pajama jacket can function as a summer shirt. Well-draped pajama pants can replace everyday flowing trousers.
The key is to choose pieces with a clean cut and a print that doesn't immediately give away their origin as loungewear.
Pieces that work both indoors and outdoors
Long modal pajamas with satin details. The plain tone and matching satin finishes on the collar and sleeves give it a more refined look, easy to combine with sandals for a walk.
Jacquard viscose shirt-style pajamas with polka dots. The open button-up jacket works just like a light summer shirt. The polka dot print and jacquard fabric disguise it as loungewear.
Short sleeveless plumeti pajamas. The sleeveless V-neck top with lace trim can be worn loose over jeans for a more casual mid-season look.
How to style it without looking like pajamas
Three simple ideas to wear these pieces beyond home:
- Just the top of the shirt-style pajamas, open over a basic T-shirt and jeans.
- Plain modal pajama pants, combined with an everyday blouse and flat sandals.
- The complete plumeti set as a two-piece dress, with a light jacket over it if it gets cool.
Avoid combining several patterned pieces at once: a single patterned garment and the rest in plain keeps the look tidy.
Fabric care
Modal and viscose are delicate fabrics. Always wash in cold water, preferably in a laundry bag, and avoid the dryer to keep the print and drape of the garment intact.
