Pajama Jeans for Men: Awesome or Awful?

Earlier this year, we told you about PajamaJeans, a cross between sweatpants and boot-cut jeans that "look like denim ... but feel like PJs!" More recently, the trend is still going strong ... but this time, it's Pajama Jeans for men!


These "Knit Jean Lounge Pants" only cost $12.95 at Lakeside.com -- and they're sold out in every size! Printed with "realistic designs" -- meaning rips and tears meant to make the jeans look "distressed" and faux "button-fly" shading -- these 100% cotton lounge pants have an elastic waist with drawstring and side seam pockets.

But wait -- it gets even better. This pair even creates the illusion that your "favorite pair of boxers" are peeking out at the top! Talk about multi-tasking.


Bloggers, of course, seized on the opportunity to mock the faux jean look. "Thank God there's no ceiling on tacky -- otherwise, we might never have the opportunity to buy a pair of 'pajama jeans' for the fashionably clueless men in our lives!" The Stir quips.

But we think these jeans would actually make a fun -- and comfy -- gag gift for the holidays. Too bad they're sold out .... Would you give PajamaJeans -- or Knit Jean Lounge Pants -- a try?
