Slob Chic: Tips on Dressing Up Your Pandemic Pajama Wear

Remember the days when we wished we could hang out in plus-size lounge pants all day? Well, now that the world has been stuck inside, we have definitely gotten the chance to get our loungewear on! Whether you’ve been taking full advantage of laid-back looks and you’re loving it or you’re ready to wear clothes from your closet, it doesn’t seem that we will be out of quarantine anytime soon. And that means we should style our loungewear and pajamas in ways that make us feel confident—even if we’re not leaving the couch.

There are so many ways to style your favorite loungewear clothing to make you feel more put together, productive, and confident. Just because you have got your lazy day clothes on doesn’t mean that you can’t look stylish and feel great. But if we’re just staying home, what’s the importance of looking and feeling good? Whether you’re working from home or you need to get stuff done around the house, your look has the potential to skyrocket your productivity and confidence. So, let’s look at ways you can spice up your go-to pair of sweatpants or yoga pants with cute plus-size clothes for a chill vibe that also looks stunning.

Monochromatic

Anytime you can create a look using one shade or one color, chances are that outfit will look sharp and put together—even if it’s sweatpants. Whether you have a monochromatic tracksuit or you’ll be piecing together different pieces that you feel best in, you can never go wrong with an all-black look. If you need a little bit more excitement in your life and wardrobe, turn to lime green or hot pink; these colors will instantly boost your mood. You won’t even realize that you’re practically wearing pajamas all day.

Sexy Robe

It’s a given that sweat pants and leggings are the coziest and comfiest clothes we could ever wear while at home. But if you’re ever feeling sloppy and want to feel chic and sexy, throw on a satin or silk robe and let your hair down. Not only will you look amazing, but the robe will make you feel light and whimsical all day. You can throw the robe over some lingerie or a comfortable slip dress. Top the look off with a pair of cozy slippers, and you’ll be feeling glam all day.

Dressed Up Leggings

If you want to wear pajamas all day, but you also want to look like you’re wearing an actual outfit, dress up your plus-size leggings with cute plus-size clothes. If you need to make appearances on Zoom calls or meetings, pair your leggings with a more formal, flowy blouse so that you can appear business casual on top and comfortable and cozy on the bottom. Even if you’re working from home, studies show that dressing up while working from home can skyrocket your productivity and confidence. But we don’t expect you to throw on a full suit. And that’s why we think leggings are the ultimate work-from-home staple.

Get into Athleisure

If you want to stay in pajamas all day, but you also have some errands to run, you may be thinking that you have to choose a more put-together look over your pajamas. But what if we told you that you could wear something comfortable and put together all at once?

The athleisure trend is popular, and it virtually turns any lazy day outfit into a stunning look with just a couple of steps.

For example, sport a pair of black leggings and a black hoodie while topping the look off with a chic leather moto jacket and a pair of fashion sneakers to elevate the look.
