Hollywood’s most haute think so, too.
VIPs such as Blake Lively, Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker and Elizabeth Olsen are leading the charge of the “Pajamacore” fashion craze, prompting glamor girls from all walks of life to incorporate PJs-inspired outfits — namely pinstriped pajama pants — into their everyday wardrobes.

Olsen, 35, too, cut a cozy frame in blue-and-white striped bottoms during a recent errands run around Los Angeles, while supermodel Joan Smalls, 35, turned heads in the lined loungewear during a brief stint in Milan.

“These are indeed men’s pajama pants,” admitted outerwear content creator Vanessa Ferraiolo, from Pennsylvania, posing in a set of striped bottoms she snagged from Amazon.
“I’m gonna wear my striped [pajama] pants,” vowed Big Apple outfits influencer Ashley Vargas in a trending snippet. “All day, every day.”
