We ask a lot of our pajamas. We must love sleeping in them, which means none of that silky, filmy, lacy stuff (cue audible sigh from significant other), but we have to love working in them. Yes, lots of us work at home, and we’ve taken casual Fridays to a whole new level. Our pajamas must be team players. Professionals. Bad jammies = distracted, squirmy, sub-par performance: inappropriate in the workplace.

To that end, we’ve gone out and found the eight cutest home-a-holic pajamas we could.  

1. These jammies would probably do your Power Point presentation for you. Natori Marisa pajama set at Saks Fifth Avenue, in black with long sleeves and a ruched top, ($160, above left).

2. Pajama Board member Victoria’s Secret, proving it can hang with the work-at-home crowd: Cotton Mayfair pajamas, with a button-front top, drawstring pants and prints you could wear to Kinko’s ($39, above right).

3. There are days when nothing but black will do. Nordstrom’s is on the job with Ralph Lauren’s Berkeley knit pajama set. It’s practically guarantees a good day at the laptop ($78, above left).

4. Oprah Magazine gave a nod to Sleepyheads’ Fresh ‘n’ Funky cherries lounger pajama, all bright in poplin cotton. Roll up your sleeves and go over tomorrow’s script ($55, above right).

5. For those days when you really really feel like the intern: Kohl’s “My Earth Too!” pajama separates, in chemical-free organic cotton (top $13, originally $26; bottoms $14, originally $28, above left).

6. You say you work in a temperate zone, where flannel is something foreign? Stay cool in Old Navy’s basic cami ($8 or $6 for 2) and jammie ($16.50, above right) mixes; there are so many colors you’ll never wear the same thing twice.

7. Time for lunch? Take The Cat’s Pajamas’ famous sushi jammies out for a whirl. They’ll surely tell you fabulous stories from their spots on Will & Grace and Buffy the Vampire Slayer ($88, right). (We quite admire the ability to work at home in your jammies while you’re on television.)

8. And when you’ve done a good day’s work and it’s time to slip into something more comfortable, we’re not sure there’s anything more appropriate than the “Life is Good” jammies from Jake’s Lake Place (T-shirt, $25, left; bottoms, $30).
