Pajama Jeans

So the other day I was watching TV in my dorm pretty late when an infomercial appeared on the screen. There were trying to sell pants that looked like jean material but were actually pajama pants or yoga pants for lack of a better word. It made me wonder if this was going to be a new trend or just another product that passes by without any recognition. It certainly made me laugh at the idea and say to myself, "I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those. " But after reading McCracken's rules for trendspotting it made me more aware that this could actually catch on. A year ago I would never had thought I would be sitting in class wearing black stretchy yoga pants, but they have become an essential part of my collegiate wardrobe. Another trend that I never thought would catch on, that is similar, is Jeggings. Jeggings are spandex leggings that are made to look like jeans. They have become very popular with teenagers and young adults. In my opinion I don't think Pajama Jeans have a chance in todays market but I guess i'll have to wait and see if these will be the new have to have item on my christmas list next year! For fashions sake I hope not!
