How to Wear Pajama Pants to School

Jeans, skirts, track pants, loungers. There are so many options for your legs, but pajama bottoms might just be the most comfortable of all. Here's how to pull off wearing them without it looking like you just rolled out of bed.

Think of something school appropriate because some schools may see PJs as too casual. Running out in some waist high, baggy butt, fruit print PJ bottoms isn't a smart choice. It's best to keep the pattern and colors somewhat neutral. Plaid is especially good. Be sure they are not too baggy or too tight: try to find something in the middle that's comfortable and cute.

Pair them with just about anything; it's better to tone down the top when wearing PJ's, especially if they haven't become a trend in your school yet. Stick with slimmer tops to balance out your shape. Avoid pairing them with over-size hoodies, unless you want to look like a bum.

Make sure you look good.

Don't over-do it. Getting up out of bed and just heading to school in what you're wearing is a big no-no. Take time to get rid of that bedhead and change into a nice drool-free shirt. Pairing PJ bottoms with slippers overdoes it a little as well. Sneakers, skate shoes, Converses or any other shoe look great with them.

Tips

• Make sure to check your school's dress code. Although most people won't really care, if you have a strict school/principal, you may get in trouble. If you aren't sure if your school will care or not, ask your principal.
• You might consider buying a new pair of PJ bottoms just for school and outside purposes.
• Ripping PJ bottoms like jeans doesn't seem like a good idea, but who knows--it might look cool. Probably not, though, so don't try it unless you really want to.
• If this is a new thing at your school, you might get a few looks. The ones that seem disapproving probably wish they would have thought of it themselves, or they could be staring at the saggy butt on your PJ's from year's use. If the case is the former, don't be surprised when nearly 1/3 of your school shows up in pajama bottoms the next day.
• PJ bottoms are actually very warm, particulary the fleece ones. Wearing them during winter time is a good excuse to look lazy/casual.
• If you're a girl, consider sticking to briefs. Most girls are wearing thongs these days. The lines may suck, but you never know when some weirdo will pants you. Better safe than sorry. Plus, your butt won't jiggle as much. Pajama pants aren't very supportive, and no one wants to see that.
• Some good places to buy PJ bottoms to wear to school are Victoria's Secret (for girls), and Abercrombie.
• A nice outfit might be dark coloured or navy pajama pants- Abercrombie makes nice ones and so does Victoria's Secret-a white tee shirt or hoodie, and flat sneakers such as Adidas All Star. Avoid flats which will look too mixed up. Uggs might also look cute depending on the colour.

Warnings

• Don't get mad when other people start wearing their PJs to school, too. Many kids do it already.
• No baggy, old, weird-design bottoms, please, unless you can pull them off.
• Make sure wearing PJ bottoms isn't against your school's dress code. As much as you may want to protest, it's just not worth the hassle teachers will give you when you wear them to school (plus you don't want to get stuck with someone's disgusting old sweatpants the nurse will give you to wear instead).
