Looking Cool at School: Guide to Pajama Days
Of all the special days at school, there is one that is a clear favorite for kids across the country: pj day.
On this day, your kiddo gets to take the reins and express themselves however they want. Do they go with the classic pajama style? Do they accessorize? Make a whole theme for their outfit from head to toe?
The possibilities are endless. And no matter what they choose, your kids get to be comfy and cozy all day at school.
If you want to help your little one have the ultimate pajama day, here are some ideas to explore together.
Lean Into a Theme
Pajama day opens the floodgates for all things weird and wacky. Kids aren’t restricted to just wearing pajamas: they can also wear fluffy, bunny slippers or a nightcap that reaches down to their knees.
You can also play off a theme in your pajamas’ design and expand it to a costume-like level. For example, say your child’s favorite pj’s are Hadley’s Bungalow Sailors Sky set. The navy stripes clearly lend themselves to a nautical theme, so run with that. Get a sailor’s hat for your kiddo to proudly model.
If your child prefers our Caribbean Regatta design, you could go another sea-faring route by getting them a pirate’s hat and eyepatch. A little stuffed parrot could turn the sailing theme into one your child will never forget.
Another fun idea to explore is a tropical motif. Decking your kiddo out with an island straw hat or a colorful lei and flip flops would perfectly accent a pair of pj’s like our Emerald Coast collection.
Match with Siblings
If siblings are in the same school building, they may get to see their brother or sister at recess or in the lunchroom. How fun would it be to spot your sibling across the hall — wearing the same set of pj’s as you?
At Hadley’s Bungalow, we design our pajamas in several styles, so children and adults of all ages can match.
As the parent, if you want to really take this pj day to the next level, you could show up to school pickup in the same pair of pj’s! Imagine the giggles that would emerge from your little ones’ mouths when they saw Mom dressed in her Sweet Hydrangea set or Dad rocking his Autumn Collection pajama pants.
Christmas at School
Pj days can happen any time of year. Sometimes schools will link them up to big events, like homecoming or the last week of school. Other times, they’ll coincide with holidays like Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
No matter when your pj day falls, your little one can express their Christmas spirit by repping their Candy Cane pajama set. Sometimes it’s even more fun to wear this set outside of the holiday season to really stand out from the other students.
Again, you can dive into the Christmas theme by getting a matching Santa hat or fun elf-themed socks to peek out from under the soft red cuffs.
Comfort First
No matter what pajamas your child wears, there is one rule above all else: they should be comfortable. At Hadley’s Bungalow, our pajamas are made from 100% Pima Cotton, making them incredibly soft and cozy. Yet, the cotton is breathable, meaning your little guy or girl won’t get too hot when they work up a sweat at recess.
