I Fought the PajamaJeans, and the PajamaJeans Won

By 130 Comments

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I love PajamaJeans.

Like most other self-respecting millennials who have seen a PajamaJeans infomercial, I long held the opinion that PajamaJeans were a fuddy-duddy gimmick meant for the older crowd. The tides of my opinion did begin to turn when a high school classmate of mine posted on her Instagram about how she had bought a pair, loved them, and had absolutely no regrets. That wasn’t enough to convince me to buy a pair, though.

When I was given the opportunity to review a pair for the blog, I thought, “Why not?” I love to try new things, I wear jeans almost every day, and what could it hurt, even if I didn’t like them?

PajamaJeans actually come in many different styles, including a boyfriend cut, skinny jeans, and bootcut, as well as a rainbow of washes. I chose to review the skinny style in the indigo wash. I’m 5’4″ and about a size 0 in most jeans and I ordered the petite XXS.

When I took the jeans out of the packaging, I was immediately surprised by how denim-like they really are. They look and feel no different than a pair of stretchy denim jeggings. Then, when I put them on, I was completely sold. I texted my mom, “PajamaJeans are the greatest invention of the 21st century,” if that gives you an impression of  just how geeked about them I was.

Pajama Jeans review

Yep, I really said that.

I was so excited to wear them that they had their maiden voyage on a day when I didn’t have time to set up a photo shoot. I just snapped a couple of selfies in them. I wore them with a simple v-neck tee and a pair of wedge sandals.

Their stretchiness makes them so incredibly flattering, and have a hidden (pink!) drawstring inside that adjusts the waist for the perfect fit. I can’t tell you how amazing a drawstring waist is for someone like me who has athletic thighs and a large derriere – it allows me to cinch the waist and eliminate any hint of gapping at the waist. Plus, PajamaJeans have real pockets in the front and back, unlike some other jeggings. Without pockets, jeggings can sometimes look too little like real jeans to “pass”.

I put them on to show my boyfriend, and even he was astounded that they’re PajamaJeans. Despite what the name may suggest, they are 100% jeans, just with special touches that make them extra comfy.

Final verdict on PajamaJeans: I’ll be buying another pair! I think I’m going to try the jeggings style next.

  27. We’ve never heard of PajamaJeans – but then we are from the other side of the pond. My folks visited NYC recently and my mummy bought some JAG Jeans, are they silimar? They look a lovely colour x

  41. Wow, I wasn’t sure what you meant by PajamaJeans when reading the beginning part of post but I was nicely surprised to find that you were referring to a very flattering jeans type of jeggings. they look super comfy. I live in Ireland and have not heard of this brand here.

  43. I wear jeans at home, all the time and my parents also get irked sometimes due to this, but I don’t like to wear pajama or casual night suits. I hope we’d get pajama jeans for males too 😛

  45. It looks amazing on you and it sounds so comfortable! Perfect for replacing all those yoga pants and leggings. I love how it fits and honestly, I wouldn’t mind getting myself a pair or maybe more!

  54. I swear, I had no idea that these things were still around. The good news is you rock them, and make them look awesome!

  56. I’ve never heard of PajamaJeans before but it sounds ultra comfy! I like the idea because I always pick comfort over style and this looks exactly like jeans just easier to wear all day! I wouldn’t mind getting a pair of these!

  63. I never would have known that those were not real jeans if you would not have told me. I seriously hate wearing jeans so these would be great!

    Reply

  64. I have had a pair of these pajama jeans before and I would definitely rock them again. They are so comfortable and you can’t even tell!

  65. I want one!!! I saw these the other day and I’ve been wanting one ever since.. I think they look soo comfy and well stylish, too… 🙂 … adding these to my Christmas wish list for sure

  67. I would love to give PajamaJeans a try. I have seen them in the store but was not sure how they would look. They look fantastic on you.

  69. See, I think they’re cute as all get out, and guys really can’t tell the difference. We see blue and assume “Jeans” Of course, we see red and think blood, gold and think beer, and orange and yellow makes us think your legs are on fire.

    We’re a highly suggestive bunch.

  70. I can’t believe how good they actually look! I have been hesitant on getting a pair for years but now I am sold!

  75. What a great idea! My other half is always moaning that I work in my pyjama bottoms (but hey, a girl’s gotta be comfy, right?) so these would be a great buy for me!

  79. I had a pair of these years ago (I am talking like pre-kids so at least 5 years ago) and hated them. I don’t think leggings were even “in” then. I gave them to a friend and she wears them all of the time now. I kinda wish I had them back now…haha!

  80. I love comfy clothes that still look good! These are really cute, they don’t look pajama-ish (is that a word? It is now) at all!

    Reply

  82. I’d never heard of these but after reading more I think they are what we in the UK call ‘jeggings’? If so then YES I love them! So stylish, flattering and comfortable!

    Reply

  86. I’m so tempted my pajama-jeans, but haven’t given in yet. I’m waiting to find them on sale or something. In my area, they cost the same as a regular pair of jeans, so I can’t justify to myself buying them when I can get regular jeans for the same price. Maybe I’ll give in soon, who knows.

  92. I have heard of pajama jeans for a while now, but I never tried them. I had so friends who wore some in college for their early morning classes. I going to have to bite the bullet one day and just buy a pair to try it out for myself.

  93. These look really comfortable and I like that they have real pockets. I work from home and these will be perfect to work in.

  94. Haha.. they look great. My aunt always wants me to get her some “pajama jeans” and I always tell her no one in real life wears those things and look good in them You rocked it though. I may really need to get her a pair

  98. I am one of those people with a preconceived notion about these, one that sort of went something like pajamas are for bed and not wearing out. I’m intrigued that they could actually pass for real jeans, and I always appreciate some stretch.

  103. I never wanted to try and sell your title is appropriate for me LOL. Now I want to try am just because I think they would be comfortable and I could get away with wearing them when I take my son to school! LOL

  109. Okay you convinced me. I’ve been a big fan of Hue jean/leggings up until now but have found they’re not so consistent on their quality and sizing as they used to be, despite their high price tag. These look amazing. I’m not as slim as you, but hopefully they’ll still look good on me. I find as a mom I need comfy stuff that still can pass as stylish. I’ve never heard of them as I guess they’re not a ‘thing’ here in the UK but I’ll get a pair sent to my Mom’s address in Canada and will pick them up next time I’m over.

  112. They certainly look great! And must feel so good and comfy as well. When I first read the headline I thought they are a kind of mix of jeans and pajamas 😀

    Reply

  113. I’ve never heard of PajamaJeans before, I see why they’re called that from the comfortable fitting and drawstring. They seem to fit you like a glove.

  114. This is the first I’m hearing about pajamajeans. They do look comfortable and I love that adjustable waist (for the opposite reason you do!) I am heading to that site to check them out.
