“Matching printed separates” doesn’t roll off the tongue quite like “pajama suit," but we want to be clear: This trend is not an excuse to sport your slippers at the office. Creating a foundation for dressing up — not down — this trend is meant to be worn with heels and swagger for a day-to-night look, meaning teddy bears and fuzzy robes should be left at home.
Spotted at Fashion Week presentations around the globe, with Stella McCartney hosting the slumber party in Paris, Mary Katrantzou creating a big deal in London, and Marni for H&M making it all go viral, pajamas proved to be one of the chicest ensemble of fall '12. With all-over prints, ombre patterns, and silhouettes ranging from silky wide-legs to structured slim fits, we’re arguing anyone can wear this look without looking like they need a nap.

And if you're still not convinced, consider this an excuse to show off your snazziest pair of jammies. Now you're in, aren't you?
