Pyjamas photo shoot in vogue this Christmas
Seeing a family picture hanging on the wall or sitting comfortably on the shelf is a satisfying feature in every home.
Some families mostly take pictures during weddings, family gatherings and sometimes during Christmas. There is mostly an outfit to match in these pictures depending on the occasion.
The trend of today’s families is having a pyjamas photo shoot. Families wear matching pyjamas and go to the photo studio, stand under their Christmas tree or use an important part of their room for their photo shoot.
Pyjamas photo shoot is mostly done during Christmas because that is the period where most family members reunite.
Some families usually wear pyjamas with Christmas illustrations. Pyjamas pictures can be taken anytime of the day though pyjamas are worn at night and the sole motive is to have a perfect family picture following the pyjamas trend to plant beautiful family memories.
Family pyjamas pictures in the 60s ,70s and 80s were used as adverts for clothing shops. The trend took over social media in 2013 when Dean and Kim Holderness and their two children wore pyjamas on Christmas in their viral YouTube video with the hashtag #XMASJAMMIES. The video reached about 18 million views around the world and the family pyjamas tradition became a holiday trend.

VINTAGE dresses are making a strong comeback in the fashion world as more women embrace timeless designs that combine elegance and a touch of jewellery.
Once regarded as old-fashioned, vintage dresses are now becoming fashionable choices for women who want to stand out from the crowd.
Fashion enthusiasts are particularly drawn to vintage pieces because of their uniqueness. Unlike mass-produced outfits that are often seen everywhere, vintage dresses offer wearers the opportunity to create a distinctive look while expressing their personality.
Vintage dresses are also versatile; they can be worn to weddings, parties, church services, social gatherings or even casual outings, depending on how they are styled. Pairing them with modern shoes, a handbag or simple jewellery can give the outfit a fresh and contemporary appearance.
Vintage fashion therefore proves that style does not always have to mean following the latest trend. Sometimes, the most fashionable statement is found in the beauty of the past.
