Last week UK supermarket chain Tesco banned “nightwear” in their stores in response to mothers doing their shopping in pajamas after dropping off the kids at school.

Clearly they weren’t wearing Bamjamz. The new Canadian line of women's snooze-wear is chic enough to pass most dress codes. Made from an ultra-soft bamboo blend, the jammies are as comfortable as your ten-year old flannels, just better looking.

Now, if Julian Schnabel walked into Tesco would a manager turn him away?

Although we love the fantasy of sleeping in crêpe de Chine (think Jean Harlow), our real life is a lot less glamorous.

If not an oversized tee and granny bashers, we love the ultra-soft cotton jammies ($75) from This is J.

Designed by local textile artist Jamie Harris, the sets are made from bamboo fabric and sustainable natural fibre and feature pretty prints in bold colours.

Cute, sassy (think Molly Ringwald) and comfortable.
