K/D: Pajama Jeans

I’ve had these pajama jeans for several years. They were way too big. So today I shrank them. Should I keep them or donate them? I do think they’re funny. They’re not styled here. I’m not sure how I would style them, either. Any suggestions/advice is welcome.

I still have my pajama jeans too. I've always put them through the wash and dryer and though they seem to shrink a bit, they bag right out again with wear.

I haven't worn them in ages though, not even to just lay around the house. Yet I still can't bring myself to toss them out. They are comfy and they bring a smile to my face too!

They look like a good fit now. You may want to use them as pajama pants or sick day pants when it gets very cold. I can imagine a fun graphic tee or sweat shirt on top. You could fray or fringe it on the bottom with a pair of scissors. My sister likes to sleep in old moth-holed cashmere sweaters, another idea that will go with the feel of the distressed pajama jeans.

Those are ready to be shot with a shotgun for a dystopian flair

Seriously, though, those would be comfy on sick days

I am not wild about the pattern/fading on them. And I associate you with a dressier look. I would “D”. But they could be a loungewear option if you like the look and feel of them.

I'm with Brooklyn - donate.

What on earth are they? Sorry Janet, I think they're a donate for sure!

Daisy Avalin

I'm with Brooklyn too, that colour/pattern is weird! But for sick days/slouching around the house, they could be good with a longline tee/jumper maybe?

i'd keep as at home only pants....

I would also say donate.

I’m also a donate. There’s fading and then there’s fading. This I don’t understand the fading placement.

I remember when those pajama jeans came out! I feel like unless you want to keep them for lounge wear, they are a donate. They look a bit dated to me now, and don’t really seem like your usual style.

JAileen

Thank you, everyone. The concensus is donate or wear at home, but don’t go outside in them! I may hang onto them for at home wear.

Jenni, these are sweatpants with a photo of worn out jeans printed on them. When I saw them, I had to have them because they were so funny. I hardly wore them because they were too big until I shrank them yesterday.

Keep for loungewear.

I've always thought these sweats were pretty funny and they still bring a smile to my face. Just as I wouldn't wear sweats or shredded jeans to the store, I wouldn't this pair. If they were mine, I would embrace them as loungewear and sleepwear and pretend I'm a teenager. A graphic tee with some outrageous saying would go on top.

Pair with Guns ‘n Roses T, JAileen

Oh my! These are funny. I vote keep as cold days PJs or loung wear and wear with the T.

I think you could keep as loungewear now that the fit is right. As long as they "spark joy." (Can you tell what I've been reading?)

Feeling nostalgic. These were all the rage on the forum 4 years ago. Search "Rag & Bone Miramar pajama jeans."

I think Rae wore them best and it was this WiW post that made me buy a pair too:

Yes, these are the Miramar. There was another colorway that wasn’t as interesting looking. By the time I decided I had to have them, the only place I could find them was Barney’s. That fall I wore them to Hawaii and back.

Jaileen - did you every style them "up" like Rae? What would happen if you faux tuck a dressier tee or top, add booties or a caged sandal (something to fill the gap/high vamped) add a blazer.... I sometimes find those pieces that a rugged and unique actually look best in a very smart casual outfit. I'd be interested to know what you think of that before these get consigned to lounge wear. They are unique, which to me can be a HEWI, but they may need the right context to shine.

RobinF

I think they're kind of fun and do look like they fit really well. I'd keep but maybe just around the house.

Thistle

I would try styling them with a few things.

Do you like them styled?
Would you wear them out of the house and feel fab?
If not, are they comfortable enough for lounge wear AND do you need lounge wear?

My gut is telling me to donate, but you seem to like them enough to want to give them a try. So I would, but I'd be ruthless in letting them keep their place in your closet.
