Since not all PJs dress alike, it’s hard to identify a PJ based on her outfit alone. But I feel like there are a few outfit patterns that suggest someone might be a PJ.
Personally, these are the three types I tend to come across when approaching women:
① Mass-produced “landmine” type
② Akihabara type
③ Sparkly Ikebukuro type
① goes without saying.
Of course, plenty of ordinary women dress this way too, so it’s hard to say for sure. Still, when you think of the typical PJ look, this is probably it.
② is common among broke, high-school-graduate PJs.
They’ll be wearing an anime hoodie, sweatpants, and GU sandals—basically keeping costs down while trying to look cute with just the anime hoodie. The overall look feels really out of place.
③ The sparkly Ikebukuro type.
I think this is the most common PJ style. Their hair looks expensive and they carry what appears to be a luxury bag, but their clothes are so “trendy yet cheap-looking” that you’d think they bought them at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro.
They have a mature overall vibe, but their clothes alone make them look like high school or college students.
Girls like this are almost always PJs, in my experience.

I don’t think there’s really any specific outfit that screams it, but if you’re walking around with an older man, people may assume you’re a papa-katsu girl.
