3 Keys to the Secret Pajama Life

Can your comfy clothes be chic, too?

Whether you're dropping off kiddos at school or hopping on an airplane, the "Secret Pajama Life" is the best way to dress up those cozy closet favorites and still feel confident in public.

Here are the 3 keys to effectively rocking your favorite sweat set or leggings out and about:

1. Start with a matching base layer. A matching sweat set or a tee in the same color as your joggers or leggings has a magical way of instantly helping cozy clothes look intentional and more dressed that mismatched pajamas. Darker neutral colors like black have a way of looking the most streamlined and chic. But it's fun to play with lighter neutrals and even some pops of subtle color, too! Pact is one of my fav places to shop for matching sets because they have non-toxic Organic cotton options in multiple styles but the same colors across the site. So you can pick the perfect style of top and bottom in a color you love.
2. Add a third layer. The structure of an outerwear layer goes a long way to elevate your comfy base layer. Check your closet for options. Here are some of my favorite third piece layers to play with:

• Trench Coat
• Coatigan
• Camel Coat
• Blazer
• Moto Jacket
• Denim Jacket
• Shacket

   3.  Uplevel with simple jewelry. Adding a minimal hoop or stud earring and layering a few necklaces, plus a bracelet and/or a few stacking rings, creates that unexpected contrast of high and low pieces in a look that shows you didn't just roll out of bed - you thought this through.
