A crash course in fashion preparedness:

1. Opt for a push-up bra. (You never know when you’ll need to weasel your way to the head of a long line.)

2. Opt for flats. (For sanity’s sake.)

3. Opt for pajamas that pass as street clothes in case of disaster, like a house fire or last-minute brunch invitation (most likely to strike when the contents of your closet are strewn all over the floor). Hold the ratty flannels.

Aussie line Papinelle’s runway-worthy lightweight cotton and silk nighties double as summer dresses, transitioning effortlessly from boudoir to impromptu soiree. Roll out of bed already dressed to impress. Pair the Ruby Spot baby doll with bed head and slept-in eyeliner for maximum impact.

4. Opt for wedges instead of fuzzy slippers. No one will ever know you’re sporting PJ’s.
