Pajama Jeans: Pajamas for the Fashionably Lazy?
According to the Pajama Jeans informational video, these puppies have the "styling of your favorite jeans, with the comfort of pajamas." Watch the advertisement and you just might be convinced that these pajamas/jeans are the best things since sliced pizza. Indeed, those who have indulged in too much sliced pizza would probably adore the Pajama Jeans; made from Dormisoft fabric, a spandex and cotton blend, the pants have been designed to mimic the flexibility and comfort of traditional loungewear.
So who's really gonna wear these things?
For all intents and purposes, with their intricate stitching and subtle embellishments, Pajama Jeans really do look like real jeans. But considering that stretch jeans have nibbled away a considerable section of the market, what's the difference between these, and the millions of look-alikes that are equally comfortable? That Pajama Jeans are marketed as "jeans you can sleep in" is probably the biggest draw. And that's where the confusion comes in. Are the makers of Pajama Jeans attempting to target women who long for pajamas that look like denim? Or are these contraptions meant to attract women who want jeans that simply feel like pajamas. For there definitely is a difference.
The average woman who throws on a pair of sweats to go to the grocery store probably doesn't care if those sweats are saggy and wrinkled (as the video suggests); she simply needs something quick and easy to wear so that she doesn't have to be bothered with primping. On the contrary, sliding on a pair of Pajama Jeans would require her to actually "complete" her look somehow-since the pants are "so stylish." Conceivably, these jeans would be ideal for the person who wants to cut down on primp time in the morning: Take your shower at night. Toss on a pair of Pajama Jeans and hit the hay. All you'll have to do in the morning is floss and put on make-up.
Are Pajama Jeans worth the money?
Don't let the "Not Available In Stores" label fool you. These kinds of garments have already been designed and plopped onto shelves throughout the country, though not with the catchy moniker of Pajama Jeans. Cotton/spandex jeans have been around for a while. They're called leggings that look like jeans(or "jeggings), and they are just about as comfortable as the Pajama Jeans, which cost $39.95. You can buy jeggings at places like Urban Outfitters. Of course, if you order the Pajama Jeans version, they'll send you a nifty T-shirt in "heather gray"... How's that for incentive?

Post a CommentI was skeptic but bought them. I love these pants. They look great and feel even better! I did alter the boot cut a bit but still looks awesome!
There were good points made in the above statement. I am one of the ones that want jeans that feel like pajamas. Lol! I probably won't buy them, simply because if something's too good to be true.. it probably is!
Anyone who has kids will defiantly love these. And no they don't have to be a lazy person, common sense.
When did "curvy" stop referring to wide hips and large chest (with small waist - you know, CURVES), and start being yet another description for fat people? We need to stop calling it nice things, and making clothes to hide the problem, and start addressing our country's serious obesity problem!
It seems that one major difference between the pajama jeans and "jeggings" is that pajama jeans have a boot cut style, whereas jeggins are cut like leggins, tight to you leg all the way down to the ankle. Not a flattering look for many curvy women. Also jeggins are not soft.
I just placed an order. I am a solo-practitioner attorney that works from home - so it's either sweats or suits for me. Gonna try this one so I don't feel like I live in sweats 24-7. At least save face when UPS guy has a delivery.
I am a curvy size 12, so jeans are so hard to find (made for women with no curves). We shall see what function these may have in my life in 6-8 weeks.
I regret buying these "jeans" as they ruined a load of laundry from staining my other clothes.
Also, I can no longer deal with the constant embarrassment of the 'butt-crack-cleavage' that these pants create and a lot of the time, these crappy pants just fall right off of me. I think I'll stick to yoga pants instead, and use these pajama jeans as toilet paper.
I just got my pair today! I do not think they are for the lazy, I am sorry i have sensory issues and I hate going to the park with my kids in my $100 jeans that are not the most comfortable. These look better then yoga pants. I am a size 2-4 so not a big person (not that it matters) I am actually pleasently suprised they do look pretty good. And the tshirt isn't bad either. Longer then it looks in the video which is good. They do run big apparantly so I wish I ordered the xsmall. These are falling off alittle and when I sit down there is some "crack" showing. Maybe they will shrink in the wash though.
Fabulous idea and NO, I don't think this is for lazy people, nor do I believe it's for larger sized women only. I plan on buying a pair asap and hopefully they'll have them in other colors (how about red or black) soon too.
I have to admit, I might have to try these LOL
