Why not wear pajamas all day?

Retailers are jumping on the pajamas-every-day trend, with stores like Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale and Pink, a sub-brand of Victoria’s Secret, giving loungewear prominent display. American Eagle Outfitters’ Aerie brand merchandises sweatpants, leggings and other relaxed styles with a variety of shirts, including those with asymmetrical hems or dolman sleeves. A wide neck is key, says Jennifer Foyle, chief merchandising officer, because “girls are wanting to show their bra straps.”

“The moral fiber in America is dwindling away,” Mr. Williams says. “It’s pajamas today; what is it going to be tomorrow? Walking around in your underwear?”
