Co-ord or Pyjamas?

[SurreyisSunny]

I love the look of co-ords it seems everyone on social media is wearing on holiday and in the summer. I tried a couple on in M&S and I looked like I was wearing expensive pyjamas.

What do you all think about this trend? Do I just embrace the pyjamas look and go for it?

I've never seen anyone in co-ords who doesn't look like they're wearing pyjamas tbh.

I was trying on a lovely linen co-ord in Zara today. Bloody comfortable! And my first thought when I had it fully on was that it looked like I was wearing pyjamas. I think if you are tall and skinny you could potentially pull it off with lots of accessories, but I will be wearing mine exclusively to and from the beach and in my house so I'm comfortable. I can't pull this off in normal day to day life...

100% agree.

I’m sure they’re very comfy and people can wear whatever they want.

But they do look exactly like pyjamas.

Personally I’d rather wear “ageing” styles that I like than feel and look as if I’m wearing pyjamas 🤷‍♀️

I don’t even like wearing pyjamas around the house on a lazy day though so I’m def not the target market here 😂

I think the ones with a beautiful embroidered non-shirt style top or non trouser bottoms don’t look pyjama-y. Think Farm Rio.

But a plain matching shirt or t shirt style top and bottoms, or anything stripy, is definitely going to say PJs.

These definitely don't look like pyjamas because the shorts are tailored. I love @JulietteHasAGun 's actual pyjamas as well and think on holiday abroad you are very unlikely to see someone that knows they are pyjamas from Sainsbury's.

I think generally they do look like pyjamas but with sandals, jewellery and a bag they are cute and trendyand a damn sight more wearable than a lot of fashions.

I have these. I don't think they look like pyjamas.

I have the same set liked on the next site. They have some lovely looking sets.

Yes they look fab and a bargain!

Conversely, I recently bought some lovely PHs from M&S and did debate myself whether I could get away with wearing them as a co-ord because I love them so much. 😂

I love these. Very tempted.

Wearing the top half undone with a top underneath and some accessories helps.

Works both ways, if my husband was intending wearing something resembling pjs for a night out I’d comment too.

I have these amazing Libert pyjamas that were a special treat. I am thinking I could take them on holiday and wear them as co-ords.

I have yet to see anyone in co-ords who doesn’t look like they are wearing pyjamas. I like pyjamas, but I think this is a truly terrible fashion trend that will look very dated very quickly.

I've got this set - they don't look like pyjamas as they're linen-y: https://www.withnothingunderneath.com/products/the-set-linen-cardinal-red-shirt-boxer

Those look gorgeous, sophisticated, and suitable for amore formal event whereas most co-ords are cute and casual. And you're right, nobody would think they were pyjamas.

I love them. Even when they look like pjs, like these. Don’t know if I have the nerve to wear them though.

I don't mind the pajamas style ones. Speaking as someone who regularly sees people in the high st in their actual pajamas (and I mean old, worn, manky ones) the co ords are nice.
The gorgeous floaty silk ones look gorgeous with some posh sandals, vest and jewellery.

Not a fan of the athleisure co ords though. They either seem to look institutional or like a spa employee.

I agree, they look like pyjamas

Oh chill out. It's funny. Men are more likely to laugh at this stuff (fashion trends) as they less subject to it. They can lampoon it because it's daft. Yes they look like PJs. No it doesn't matter.

A friend of mine has something similar to this and she looks lovely in it.

They definitely all look like pyjamas yes.
Ive not seen a co-ord that doesn’t. They are ok to wear on a relaxed / warm holiday imo; I can’t really see anywhere else where wearing one would be chic or well dressed.

If you want something smarter, you could try a tailored short and shirt / jacket. I suppose that’s a co ord but a different sort

I’ve been saying the same for years. They all looks like pyjamas or track-suits.

I’m delighted !

I love PJs and being comfortable and don’t care what people think, especially on holiday !
I’m finally on trend.

I bought them for work on hot days.
