In-Flight Pajama Party

I always struggle with what to wear on the plane. Many factors play into my wardrobe choices - how long is the flight, what's the weather like at the destination, are my kids tagging along, etc etc.

Now that pajama wear has officially taken hold as a trend du jour, this opens up a few options when it comes to looking fresh, yet staying comfortable on a short flight or a long haul.

Check out this pajama top from j.Crew - it's pure silk guaranteeing comfort, and it's black which will hide any spills from sudden turbulence.

(I'm a big fan of black-on-black dressing for flights. It hides everything, and can pretty much give you a fresh look regardless of miles clocked.)

Tuck the pajama top into a pair of black stretch jeans. DO NOT WEAR PAJAMA BOTTOMS. A high quality black stretch jean worn with this top will prevent you from looking like a slob who just slid out of bed.

And then add a warm cashmere scarf for a dash of color and ultimate warmth. Finally step into some basic black flats or go for any kind of boot depending on climate and season you travel. Et voila, you are ready for a stylish, comfy take-off!
