This year, people have had many mishaps with their wardrobe when engaging in online video calls, Zoom meetings, and virtual family gatherings. This revealed a common problem that many people were not prepared for: nobody wants to get all dressed up for an online call. Yes, people usually appear to look good during virtual meetings, until someone forgets they are on camera and reveals half a suit, their pajamas, or even underwear. Of course, Japan has come up with an answer to that new problem.

An Apparel Company In Japan Has Unveiled the “Pajama Suit”

Perhaps believing that people only need to appear like wearing formal clothing during an online video call, a Japanese apparel company has put together what they call the “Pajama Suit.” It is hardly a surprise to anyone that such a great idea would arrive from Japan, and many home-office workers are probably already planning on acquiring this latest manifestation of fashion ingenuity. The pajamas are meant to resemble office attire, but to the one wearing them, they feel as snug and comfortable as sleepwear.

The “Pajama Suit” seems like a very convenient way for people at home to dress formally while remaining comfortable. Created in Japan by the fashion company AOKI Holdings, this new apparel would be available in navy, beige, dark gray, and black colors for both men and women. The company says its new product is less than fashionable clothes but more than simple pajamas.

The “Pajama Suit” Is Sold As Two Separate Pieces and Can Be Mixed With Other Items

AOKI Holdings sells its new types of pajamas as suit separates, which allows buyers to combine them with different clothing. This gives pajama suit enthusiasts the opportunity to experiment and come up with their own perfect combination of comfort and style. The jacket of the “suit,” for example, is actually a knitted cardigan and can be matched with regular pants. However, the company suggests to its clients to try combining the jacket with the elastic-waist pants that are specially designed for long periods of sitting down.

This kind of adaptation to the market demand shows how clothing companies are struggling to sell business suits and are ready to innovate and create new products. AOKI is just one of those companies, and despite its new pajama suit, it is looking at billions of yen in losses for the last year.

With everything going on in the world right now, people of all ages are having to cope with spending weeks and even months away from their loved ones. While it’s easier for adults to understand why isolation and social distancing is important, it’s much more difficult to explain to young children why they can’t go to school, why they can’t see their extended family members, and why they can’t play with their friends. Amazingly, this mom came up with the perfect solution that allows her toddler friends to finally play together.

Life in Lockdown

For many people, lockdown is proving to be extremely difficult, and it seems as though life is even more difficult for kids who miss playing with their friends. Three-year-old Arlo and two-year-old Arabella Devonport from Yorkshire, England, are two siblings who have been finding it especially hard. Not only are they having to stay away from their family, but they are also having to stay away from their best friend, Leo Adlington, who lives just next door. Being so close to Leo but not being able to see or play with him has proven to be tough for these siblings, but things have now changed.

Building Something Bespoke

Arlo and Arabella’s mom could see that her children were struggling, so she came up with a genius idea that would allow the children to keep their distance while also playing together. She ordered a piece of perspex glass online and then cut into the fence that divided the two houses. When this was done, they fixed the perspex panel into the hole in the fence — and the end result was ready. Now, the kids can play together through the perspex, and they can even use pens to play games such as noughts and crosses.

It’s incredible to see creative minds work during this time of crisis and now these toddler friends can play together once again!
