I’m a fashion expert & this is how to dress up your PJs so you can wear them anywhere – you only need a nightie
THE cost of living crisis has meant that a lot of us are being more frugal when it comes to fashion.
From making do and mending to cutting back on Saturday night outfits, we’ve made wardrobe sacrifices to save cash.

But you can make your nightwear work outside of the bedroom to give your everyday looks a new lease of life.
From celebrities to fashion influencers – everyone’s been making their pyjamas and underwear look like outfits for work and play.
And you can too, making you get more for your money when you’re buying new nightwear.
All you need is a nightie.
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals how a nightie can work for all occasions – and even during winter – that look as good as they do when worn inside, for outside.

Now, when it comes to nighties they’re are two images that come to mind.
One being an ankle length gown with long sleeves, some sort of busy floral pattern and either a Peter Pan collar or a doily design around the neck.
And the other the crotch grazing, lace trimmed designs you’ll see in Ann Summers window.
The style that works best for bed and day lies somewhere in the middle, because let’s face it if you’re off to your 9 to 5 shift in either one you might get sent home.
The best way to play it is more discreetly than a mini baby-doll and less old fashioned than the hospital looking gown you’re Nan might own.

First up, you’ll need something in silky satin fabric.
As comfortable as your novelty Disney nightie in T-shirt material may be it’s not going to give you the stylish look you’re after when worn to the shops.
Not only is satin more current and on trend but is also sexier and comfier for after dark and is light enough to be layered for different occasions and seasons.
There are an abundance of slip dresses on the high street, like this style from Peacocks that’s in the sale for just £4.
Plus all your favourite brands from M&S to H&M and Primark have styles in different prints and colours.
For a more versatile chemise opt for one in a neutral colour such as black, beige, cream, navy or khaki – these colours will work with the other colours you already have in your wardrobe making getting dressed everyday that much easier.

Secondly, it’s the length.
Midi length styles are the best option, or if not a maxi.
But don’t worry if that’s too modest for you, you can get styles that have slits in the skirt that mean you can still show off your legs.
Longer lengths give a more glamorous and stylish look, take style cues from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and her minimalist looks that show less is more when it comes to looking glamorous, but length should be long.
Next up is fit.
You don’t want anything too tight because if you’re making your night dress multifunctional, who wants to feel uncomfortable and constricted when you’re in bed?
And for day to day it’s important to feel comfy to feel your best.

Bias-cut dresses are associated with slip dresses, which is flattering on all figures or an empire-line cut, which is where the fabric starts from underneath your boobs and flows out.
Also, it’s so flattering on bums, boobs and tums.
Finally, what should you wear with it? And generally anything goes.
Throw on your favourite blazer or jacket if you want to cover up for the office or not catch your death in the queue to a club on a night out.
You can pair slips with trainers, pumps, boots, heels, flats – any shoe under the sun.
Just maybe not your Ugg’s for everyday.
And layers. You can always add a chunky jumper and belt it around your waist to give yourself a skirt and a top option, or layer underneath with a roll neck.
