But I’ll admit, sitting around in faded
sweatpants and a 1992 concert T­shirt can be
a little depressing. Many people I know who
work at home also have “daytime pajamas” —

of my friends calls them “dignity pants.”
Sometimes you’d like loungewear that’s a little more Hugh Hefner and a little less Howard Hughes (the
later eccentric years, not Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator).
So I was intrigued by Sleepy Jones, a new line of stylish loungewear designed by Andy Spade that’s
inspired by what he likes to wear when working — and relaxing — at home. Essentially, these are the
luxurious, fashionable daytime pajamas that the work­at­home set has been waiting — in old sweats —
for. The line was launched in the spring with a sleep­in at Lafayette House in New York City’s East
Village, where models wearing Sleepy Jones lounged, ate and read in various rooms of the boutique
hotel.
Spade, co­founder of Kate Spade (his wife’s namesake brand), enlisted Anthony Sperduti and Chad Buri
— longtime collaborators at Kate Spade, Jack Spade and Partners & Spade — to help create the line of
“sleepwear, underwear and not­quite­ready­to­wear for men and women inspired by the lifestyles of
artists.”
That inspiration includes, according to the website, artists, writers, designers and musicians, such as
George Plimpton and Pablo Picasso. “Plimpton was known to roam the Paris Review office in boxers,”
according to the Sleepy Jones website. “Picasso churned out masterpieces in little more than shorts and a
robe.” (Incidentally, I have written blogs in yoga pants and a T­shirt that smells like Chinese food, because
I dropped a piece of chow fun on myself while eating lunch reclining and was too lazy to change. But I

($142–$154) and underwear ($44–$54). The line also includes a few T­shirts ($38), a tank ($34) and

While I wouldn’t be likely to paint in a fashionable robe — or at all, really — I can roam the home office in
daytime PJs, Plimpton­style. And maybe eat my lunch sitting up, with some semblance of dignity.
