If not, no worries, there&#8217;s no pajama shame here.<\/p>\n<p>But, be honest: is it time to upgrade your PJs? One of the benefits if adulting is that you get to treat yourself to cozy, comfy PJs that you love!\u00a0We&#8217;re talking a\u00a0proper pair of pajamas &#8211; the kind with matching tops and bottoms (or a onesie if you&#8217;re so inclined &#8211; more on that in a bit).<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is this: if you don&#8217;t have a real pair of pajamas as an adult, you&#8217;re totally missing out. Because being a grown up in jammies is kind of like a little slice of heaven.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some of the grown up rules of pajamas, that we feel we must share:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cozy is the name of the game.<\/strong> No weird flame-resistant fabric like when you were a kid. Adult PJs are all about cool cottons, soft jersey, snuggly flannel and cozy fleece. This is your relaxation uniform &#8211; your signal that the work day is done and it&#8217;s time to chill. This is the outfit that at times, you&#8217;ll wear all day long (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepajamacompany.com\/blog\/tag\/pajama-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pajama Days<\/a>), so the key here is cozy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fancy\u00a0or Fun, it&#8217;s your choice.<\/strong>\u00a0People call you fancy pants? We know your type and we&#8217;ve got your number &#8211; you&#8217;re the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepajamacompany.com\/collections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">classic PJ<\/a> type. Or\u00a0maybe you&#8217;re more of the light-hearted breed\u00a0who loves fun patterns that show off your favorite hobby or your goofy sense of humor. We&#8217;ve got you covered as well, with a million options like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepajamacompany.com\/sale\/for-her\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepajamacompany.com\/pajamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepajamacompany.com\/collections\/pj-salvage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PJs say: &#8220;I like you&#8221;. <\/strong>Pajamas in a sense, are a form of self care. Buying yourself a great pair of PJs is like sending yourself a cozy love note. Think about it: you&#8217;ll feel good wearing them, and much more put together when you&#8217;re lounging all day. And, you&#8217;ll sleep better when you&#8217;re snug as a bug in your jammies. #pajamalove<\/p>\n<p><strong>Footies are still perfectly acceptable. <\/strong>Yes, you probably remember wearing them as a kid. And here&#8217;s the good news: footed pajamas come in a full range of adult sizes too! And, we think they&#8217;re best suited for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/tech\/Sci-Fi-Netflix-Shows-37573071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all-day Netflix binge watch<\/a>, don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pajamas + (insert favorite food &amp; drink here) = the perfect match. <\/strong>Love comfort food like grilled cheese or a giant plate of nachos? Indeed, a match made in heaven. Syrup-covered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/trisha-yearwood\/bacon-waffles-2774082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waffle and bacon breakfast<\/a>? Spot on. Pizza delivery? Surely. Wine, margarita, or maybe a\u00a0hot toddy? Mmmm\u00a0yes&#8230;the perfect compliment to your snazzy, soft PJs.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, adult friends &#8211; get yourself a proper pair of pajamas and get your cozy on.
