*****L Bathrobe

If Brandish were a political party our key campaigning issues would be madras shirts, short shorts and sleepwear. Consider this post a campaign for sleepwear. If long johns are a step too far for you to wear outside the house, then you might want to start on something simple. Like this *****L Bathrobe (€120).

First off we should remember the rules: don’t ever go more than 15 minutes away from your home wearing sleepwear – you will look crazy. If you think about it, a bathrobe is probably the best way to start off in this trend. It’s comfortable, versatile (hood up = criminal, hood down = fashion forward trendsetter) and you can take it off if you feel too freaked out wearing sleepwear at Tesco. You can’t say that about long johns.
