I’m not sure whether it’s always been a West Coast thing or a result of the constant art-deco inspiration I've found since I moved to Los Angeles earlier this year, but I have been inclined to wear lounge-like silks, kimono-like layers, and dreamy robes. Let's call it chic sleepwear—the kind that you can wear easily into the day as you can into the night (and even to bed).

I think we are craving the ultra-luxurious and the extra comfortable right now. Long gone are the days when you have to fuss with clothing. Here, in my newly curated, pajama-like wardrobe, I can be as comfortable and stylish as I'd like to be—and you can easily follow my lead.

Pick a Vintage Robe for Evening

I think this comes from my Armani-obsessed brain, but my obsession with evening jackets is not dying down anytime soon. I believe that is where I drew my inspiration to take it one step further and wear a velvet robe for a fancy night out. I paired it with sheer black tights, pointy black heels, and an incredible pair of earrings to emphasize that this is indeed a nighttime-ready look. It is that unexpected element that can be a conversation piece, if you’d like it to be.

Style a Sleep Shirt as a Top

This silk pajama top is a part of a sleepwear duo, but I think it looks so cool paired by itself for a day look. I love the silk, stripes, and the look of wearing crisp white trousers and a belt. It looks effortless, and no one would know you might have slept in the same shirt the night before.

Opt for a Tassel Belt

Tassels are another Art Deco influence craze that has taken over my heart. Paired with a kimono-like robe or silk evening jacket, it gives your outfit a boudoir feel. Emphasize with a '20s-inspired feathered heel, and you've got yourself a real fashion moment. Bonus: these are all pieces that can be worn separately for different occasions, too. I’ve been repeating this kimono jacket for easy, everyday wear, paired with silk pants.
