With pyjama suits still very much on trend, and with the spring/summer 2016 catwalks full of lingerie and nightwear, getting dressed this summer should be as easy as rolling out of bed.

In the words of designer and style icon Coco Chanel, “It is always better to be slightly under-dressed”. It was in fact Chanel herself who popularised loose-fitting pyjama trousers as elegant but practical beachwear for women in the 1920s. Suddenly it was sexy and chic for a woman to, dare I say it, look comfortable! This season, comfort dressing is back on the cards as unforgiving skinny jeans are tossed aside in favour of wide-leg trousers, tight-fitting bodycons are replaced by silky slip dresses, and big granny pants become an underwear drawer essential.

Although the pyjama and nightwear trend has been cropping up on the catwalks for quite a while now, there’s just something about the combination of delicate silky fabric, low temperatures and rain that’s been putting me off! But as warmer weather approaches, the pyjama suit is an ideal way to combine comfort and style.

Pair with sunglasses and white trainers for an effortless daytime look or put on some strappy heels and a statement necklace for going out in the evening.

Take inspiration from Gucci’s ready-to-wear pyjama suits in bold seasonal prints that are perfect for spring. Or, for a subtler look, check out Alexander Wang’s slouchy deconstructed pyjama shirt or Thakoon’s cotton pyjama sets in blue with contrasting red piping.

If you’re feeling less adventurous (and aren’t quite ready to wave goodbye to your skinnies) opt for a pyjama-style silk shirt paired with your favourite jeans, or enjoy the satisfaction of loose-fitting pyjama bottoms with a simple T-shirt on top. However you wear it, the relaxed silhouettes and luxurious fabrics are classic, cool but most importantly comfy!

The slip dress is also extremely popular at the moment, with its simple and flattering shape appealing to many women. A straightforward and plain design looks great worn over a white T-shirt during the day, while fabrics such as silk and lace are perfect for going out at night. Saint Laurent paired delicate sheer slips with leather biker jackets, completing the look with a tiara to create the perfect feminine-grunge contrast while Calvin Klein’s take on this trend involved cascading silky fabric and sporty metallic plimsolls.

While the spring/summer catwalks are the perfect place to look for inspiration, a number of high-street chains such as Topshop and Zara are offering fashionable nightwear for a fraction of the price. Alternatively, think authentic and opt for actual pyjamas.

If you find the right cut and fabric not only will you nail this trend but it will also make looking chic for early morning lectures easy and effortless!
