Ms Wahyu Rahman, founder of image and branding consultancy @MissHyu and founder of fashion label Mila Musa, says the key is to keep the trend “polished, modern and more ladylike than what one would wear to bed”.
That would include always ensuring that your pyjama shirt is crease-free and that your hair and make-up are styled and bold to counteract the casual feel of the shirt.
She adds: “Eye-catching accessories, such as a graphic-print purse or fringed bag, can help your pyjama shirt look more appropriate for day.”
She shares tips on how to style the trend for the weekend, work and evening dates:
Whether you wear a pyjama shirt with jeans or shorts, go for the most sophisticated and polished accessories to avoid a sloppy look.
When choosing footwear, go for sneakers, stilettos or wedges, not sloppy-looking shoes such as mules or backless loafers.
