Helena asks:

Is there any excuse to go to work in your pyjamas? Thanks

Jess's Answer

Even though it may seem like the comfier option I'd have to say no Helena, I think pyjamas should be kept strictly for bed!

Amazingly some designers disagree with me though, including Dolce & Gabbana, Marni and Louis Vuitton.

Marni sent models down the catwalk indeckchair striped loose fitting tops and trousers while Louis Vuitton went for loose silk trousers.

It was Dolce & Gabbana who really went full hog though with models wearing baggy silk trousers and jackets, tied at the waist with a sash in an almost dressing gown style.

The look clearly impressed someone as Jessica Alba wore the outfit to a film premiere, but I really don't think even someone as beautiful as Jess can pull of the look.

As it is summer now you can get away with wearing loose trousers like a pair of crisp white linen trousers but full on pyjamas? Sorry Helena I don't think you can get away with that!

Laura's Answer

Pyjama's to work- are you crazy?! Sorry, but you'd be laughed out of the building if you dared to wear your PJs to work.

Before you think I'm being overly harsh, I will give some credit for the fact that designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton showed PJs on their catwalks this year.

Now, while I quite liked the look on the runway, when I saw Jessica Alba wear one of D&G's catwalk looks, it's fair to say I stopped being a fan pretty quickly.

She was savaged by the fashion critics, with people seriously questioning why on earth she would wear her PJs to a red carpet event?!

No, if you want my advice Helena- stay clear of this trend, but if you simply have to sample the silky PJ look, invest in a pair of Harem pants from the high-street, as these are a great wardrobe office staple for the summer.
