It's been so long since I've worn "regular" clothes, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to go back to the way things were before. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm wearing an old sweatshirt from Oxford University (acquired during the Oxford Conference of Corsetry a few years back), and a pair of fleece-lined sweatpants.

However, work meetings are picking up again as offices and businesses gradually return to normal, and that means I really can't wear my fave, bleach-stained sweatshirt on Zoom calls. But I can wear a pair of well-made pajamas. In fact, a beautiful pajama set can be just as lovely outside the home. Truthfully, after a year of barely dressing up, I feel more put together in a pair of matching pajamas than in a "real" outfit.

All that's to say we're officially living in the Era of the Pajama. And if there's an opportunity to indulge in comfort and to wear what feels best against your skin, why not take advantage of it with one - or more! - of the brilliant pajama sets below? Not only are they perfect for wearing at home, they all work just as well for outerwear.

As always, depending on when you run across this post, items may be sold out or discontinued. That said, it's always worth checking the store for what else may be available...you never know if you might find something else you love!
