I have just conducted some research on the Pajama Jean for you. It seems that many people have been lured into this sordid fashion disaster! I imagine these people also own snuggies.

If you google “pajama jeans” you will find a lot of sites selling them, like HSN, the Pajama Jean parent company (PajamaGram, of course) and the website associated with the infomercial, PajamaJeans.com. (Be very careful going to this website; there is noise, and someone nearby might think you are actually purchasing these!) But you will also find a number of “style” blogs celebrating them, and even a few “fan” websites posing transparently as impartial reviewers. They often have comments from other customers saying things like “Pajama jeans are seriously my new found love! I can pair these jeans with a sexy top and wear it out at the club to get my drink on and then come home and pass out in them!” Like, who doesn’t want that? Maybe they could have a version with a built-in diaper so you didn’t have to wake up from your drunken stupor to use the bathroom. Another one of the reviews said “Sadly, the smooth butt-lifting design is not available in men’s sizes.” Interesting…I was not aware “butt-lifting” was a feature desired in men’s jeans.

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about PajamaJeans is what pops up when you Google search for images of them. Mainly, you get all kinds of pictures of people who have been let loose in public their real pajamas, or even worse, people who would have been better off if they had just left their pajamas on that day…

For anyone seriously considering the Pajama Jean, I have one piece of advice: go to Target and use your $39.95+ shipping & handling to purchase one pair of real jeans AND one pair of sweatpants, and then trouble yourself to change into the appropriate pair when you leave the house. If that sounds like too much work, by all means, wear whatever you want while you wallow lazily in your slothiness. (I invented that word. I guess PajamaJeans have inspired me after all!)

Also, since we haven’t blogged in about a year, we have probably all but disappeared from the blogosphere, so here’s a shameless plug: these people are funny…check out heir blog The Steel Closet.

And I’ll leave you with one final thought…what does one wear under pajama jeans?

Today’s Roberto Cavalli blow-out sale is tacky to the max, but people still seem to be jumping on it. This thing looks like a bad upholstery cover – lucky for my couch, it’s sold out.

This is from the Jak & Jil blog, which I am really warming up to, and the fall Louis Vuitton collection, which is, in my amateur and clearly unsophisticated opinion, an abomination.

Honestly, I am not sure what is going on with about 90% of those outfits. I feel like the underwear-on-top-of-the-clothes look has been attempted a number of times before, and we can be fairly sure by now, it’s never going to look good. I do want to point out that, having purchased a fanny pack in the last year, I was clearly way ahead of the game on that trend!

Here’s one I like: Donna Karan. I suppose it means she is bit tame, but I would wear every single outfit in this show.

Finally, check out the first picture, here. Is it just me, or is there a trend towards giant, multi-colored feathered puffball clothing? And if so, why?
