YAY or NAY: Pajamas In Public ?

tomwatso

I has seen too many people in PJ at the grocery store in my lifetime. Just say no.

I'm going to go against the grain and say I will and do wear whatever the hell I like...

That being said I enjoy many different styles and outfits, I will never outgrow dress-ups, I like a nice fitted pinstripe suit, other times well my attire is less than conventional but I dress according to how I feel or want to feel, not for the adulation from others....If people request formal or smart attire for events or gatherings I attempt to meet their expectations as they were kind enough to invite me.

Depends on the person wearing them, some people can rock the look and others shame themselves

Very true, often not what you wear but how you wear it.

"It's time to grow up."

Every time I hear these words I just want to do an Admiral Ackbar impression "It's A Trap!"

I don't, it takes 10 seconds to put on a pair of jeans. At the same time I don't judge others for the decision.

I just went to the market and saw a woman in cat PJs, snow boots and a fur jacket. I vote yes.

Ophidion

bump because I was unaware that PJ's would invoke such a knee jerk reaction.

What if said PJ's were tightly fitting on a hot female *kitten* or if it was an unbelievably attractive male, does this change the equation?

Is it really the attire or the people wearing them?

Can you go out in pajamas? I suppose.

What does it say about your self-respect and the level of competence you project to others? Not much.

Maybe the question should be, "How many people who make more than $80,000 a year would venture out in pajama pants?" I'd guess none. "How many successful entrepreneurs wear pajamas to Walmart?" None.

My opinion would be that someone who can't make an effort to put on real clothes before leaving the house doesn't put much effort into anything else. As someone who is responsible for hiring and promoting others, if I ran into someone from work who was wearing pajamas in public, they'd definitely be placed on my "don't consider" list.

I suppose if you're trying to rock the "teenager who doesn't give a *kitten*" look, pajama pants would be the way to go, but if you're older than a teenager, it just says "lazy" to me.

Is your child sick and have to go to the pharmacy? Is you fall down the stairs at 2am while going to the bathroom and have to go to the ER? Unless it's a similar emergency in the middle of your sleep time, the answer is no, no a thousand times no. Seeing people do this makes me loose all respect for them.

Seriously, why the hell would anybody want to wear pyjamas out in public.

The end.

Because you are not feeling well but have to run to the pharmacy to get some meds.

Because you JUST started the washer with all your jeans in it and you realize you forgot something for the soup that is already on the stove.

Because you changed at work to go to the gym (since we are also talking yoga pants in the thread) and then remembered you needed to pick up a prescription and the pharmacy closes in 10 minutes.

Yes, all of these have happened to me. Sometimes you just do what you have to do.

Though I do think showing up to college classes still in your PJs is silly. That is just being lazy.

I have also been responsible for hiring and promoting others, but I would in no way judge them about were PJ pants to a store. That is just silly. Sometimes stuff happens. Now, if it was a restaurant or work I might make a mental note.

Was this written about me?!

I was exercising in PJ pants and a t-shirt when the woman adjacent to me stopped me and told me I was "courageous." I was like "oh gosh..what makes me courageous??" and she said it was for wearing PJ pants and asked if people stare at me usually.

Idk, I went to high school in NJ and everyone- male and female- at least once a week wore PJ's to school.

I go out in a trashy black zip up robe that makes me look like a cult member when I'm running to grab quick groceries on a crappy day--or to the gas station at midnight.

I clean up real friggin' nice if I want to, look really nice in pretty dresses and stuff with my hair all done....

But IDGAF! Unless I'm going somewhere special...you'll be seeing me in my warm comfy cult member robe.

There's a difference between a baggy cotton shirt and PJ pants or yoga pants, and a night gown with or without pajama or yoga pants.

How else am I supposed to pick up men at the dollar store? Stop ruining my game, Donyelle!

if they just came from an all night sleepover sure; if they just rolled out of bed for sweet tea...nah.

Kirstyw871

yay for onesies in public.

Mia_RagazzaTosta

Judge away.

Just_Scott
