Pillow Talk, Mid-Levels
The Dictator rules: Sure, you can wear them confidently. That will go some of the way to make up for the fact that you’re wearing PJs, but it won’t necessarily make you look good. Actually, dear, this fad is so 2012, and I challenge you to find a photo of someone wearing said garments who didn’t look ridiculous. This year, we’ve noticed a convergence of two recent trends – PJs and printed trousers – resulting in patterned, loose-fitting “bottoms”, often in silk and with elastic or drawstring waistbands. Stella McCartney has done them in botanical and animal prints (HK$6,100 to HK$9,700; The Landmark, Central, tel: 2801 6793) as well as a black suit with pyjamastyle white piping on the jacket (HK$13,600) and trousers (HK$6,500). At Valentino, they come in cheerful colours such as red or green with white polka dots (HK$12,200; IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2234 7193). If you like the silhouette but not the prints, then take a look at Toupy’s Boris silk trousers in countless solid colours (HK$2,310; Rue Madame, IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7880). You can also find them in prints or plain hues and at great prices at BCBG (HK$1,890 and up; The Landmark, tel: 2868 9873) and Zara (HK$459 to HK$899; IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7305). Just note that, although they’re styled on the runways with flowing and flouncy tops, normal human beings would look better if they balance the volume on the bottom with slimmer, form-fitting pieces on top.
Where can I find those rings that look like fingernails that the celebs have been wearing?
