The word “comfort” brings to mind two seemingly different visuals. First, that of a person, curled up in pajamas with a cup of tea. The second image is that of comfort food. We all indulge in mac and cheese, mom’s meatballs, or fried chicken at some point of emotional weakness. We go to food for physical comfort as often as we go to pajamas!

Perhaps the best part of comfort food is the memory associated with it. You might fondly recall your parents popping popcorn over the stove before settling down to watch a movie. You might dwell on the times you spent with your roommates snacking on fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies as a midnight study break. You might think back on lying sick in bed, helped along to health by homemade chicken noodle soup.

Comfort food and pajamas have something very distinctive in common in that they recollect memories and nostalgia. Some of our best memories are spent this way with family and friends. So settle down in your footies with a bowl of ice cream and your gal pals!

As a final touch, try having your food and wearing it too with these stylish foodie pajamas!
