Pajama Jeans- Hot or Not?

While they do seem to nicely solve the problem of wearing jeans for people who like the jean look but, lack the body to really look good in jeans these pajama jeans do have a few drawbacks. First, though they are designed to fit different sizes from 8 to 3X, currently they seem to have only one inseam length which is 31 inches.

In addition, the fake stitching where the zipper should be, and the style of waist band gives these pants a less than polished look that probably won’t appeal to most people who can still actually fit into their regular jeans.

However, by all reports these jeans are indeed comfortable and certainly far more stylish than wearing a pair of sweats to the grocery store or when taking your kids to the local park. Most surprising of all, reviewers who have actually bought pajama jeans admit to opening the box and being quite disappointed in their looks however, after trying them on they admitted that they were extremely comfortable and that they looked better on the body than in the box.
