The next biggest trend: Pajamas?
Filed under: Teens, Development/Milestones: Babies, Day Care & Education
Teens are finding out what middle-aged housewives have known for a long time: Pajamas are comfy. So comfortable, in fact, that they've become the next big fashion trend with kids wanting to wear them to school.For girls, the trend is the pink sweatpants from Victoria's Secret. Boys are more likely to wear sweatpants or plaid pajama bottoms, which remind me of Zach Morris from TV's Saved By The Bell. (Anybody remember his plaid pajamas?)
As a work-from-home-mom, I totally agree with the kids that sweat pants and pajamas are totally comfy. In fact, sometimes I take a shower and put them back on!
Personally, I'd prefer to see a teenage girl wearing a pair of pink sweat pants rather than a skirt that practically shows vagina for the world to see. And EMO? Please. If I have to see one more EMOed out teenager sulking in the checkout line at Target, I swear I'm going to go over there and hand them some eye makeup remover myself.
What trend do you think teens should adopt next? I'm going to take "comfy" to the next level and suggest that they bring back the big floral moomoo.

Ethel said...Lord, it was the thing when I graduated from high school 16 years ago! Okay, maybe it was Alaska, but then the trend setters were also chewing on toothbrushes all day long too, maybe that along with a shoestring to tie your hair back will come along too (Thank you Glenn J.!).
And since then there have always been the young women that came to my chemistry lab in pjs, the same gals that I saw at Starbucks in their pjs. But they were wearing relatively innoccuous lounge wear, nowadays I see pjs that are fairly obviously pjs with fairly bright colors.

Trisha said...ditto to above. PJ's were cool 5 years ago for me in High School. The big thing I see too is BOXER SHORTS on girls.... PJ's but still short and sexy. But whatever, I guess they still have the legs for it:)

Uly said...This is not new. Really.
That said, I myself prefer tight clothing to baggy clothing - nobody can hide anything under tight and revealing clothes.

Crystal said...I graduated 10 years ago, too! That was the trend when I went to school. Especially the boys. They were big into the flannel pants. I see the kids now with a strict dress code, no jean, etc. Ugh! Thank god, I'm not in school now!

margalit said...Oh my! Either you're a lot less "hip" than you think you are, or you've been walking around with a blindfold for the past 4 years. Pajama pants are SOOOO passe now. They were popular around 2-3 years ago, but teens where I live wouldn't be caught dead in them anymore. It must be a regional thing, because they were very hot when my kid was in 6th grade, and she's in 9th now. She'd rather die than wear pajamas to school now, but years ago it was all the rage.
