Sleepwear that Doubles for WFH

Dress not only for success but also for comfort while working from home. If you’re one of the millions of Americans who are still enjoying the comforts of working from home, then you’re also probably exploring all the different ways you can get dressed for comfort, confidence, and productivity. As working from home becomes the new normal, many people find that changing out of pajamas can be quite a difficult task, and we are here to normalize that!

Working remotely can have its challenges, but it definitely has its perks, too. One is that you can basically show up to work in your pajamas. Unless you’re going to spend the day on a video conference call, then you can really wear whatever kinds of pajamas you’d like.

But, even if you’re going to be on-screen, some styles of pajamas can still make the cut of what is work-appropriate. This is because working from home has become less about what you look like and more about how you feel. These are some of our top picks of men’s and women’s pajamas that can also double as work-from-home wear.

Pajama Pants

Pajama pants and sweatpants are the new work uniform. Comfortable, casual, easy to wear, and not seen on screen, your favorite pajama pants can now double as your favorite work pants as well. Depending also on the pajamas, some pajama pants can even feel a little dressier to help you get in a comfortable yet productive work mood.

Choosing pajamas that are silky, fall, and flow nicely or are made from high-quality cotton can make great choices for work-from-home pajamas. These can be great for relaxing yet still dressy enough to wear at your desk. Then, take it to the next level and choose pajama pants that have great prints or embroidery to balance comfort with style. For men, a pair of modal sweatpants or pajama pants can give you the ultimate comfort and ease you need to get your work done.

Flannel pajama pants are one of those things that are really hard to take off in the winter. The good news is, you don’t have to! Roll right out of your flannel sheets, into your flannel robe, and to your computer in your flannel pajamas — no need to change for work! Stay cozy as temperatures drop by sticking to your flannel pajama pants while working from home during the colder months. Feel free to rock your whole flannel pajama set to your home office, or, if you're on a video conference call, simply change up the top while keeping on the flannel pajama bottoms.

Depending on what your office considers professional attire, you can even explore wearing your flannel pajama shirt to video calls. Seeing as flannel shirts are all the rage these days, simply put on a white T-shirt or black tank top underneath. Style your flannel pajama shirt, so it’s partially open and looks good on camera.
