PJ's in public?
Replies

This depends...are we talking PJs that dont really look like PJs...or the printed flannel featuring little kittens licking ice cream cones type of PJs.
Big difference.
DO tell.
Why is one kind of fabric better than another?
What if I wore orange pants? Is that OK with you?
You obviously didn't read her post. She specifically said PJs that don't look like PJ's as in your yoga pants OR pants that have silly pictures and are very obviously pj's. You failed at your attempt to start a virtual fight.
ETA: If I saw someone in orange pants I"d wonder if they were going hunting. :flowerforyou:
@Jennieb37 love you. people are so silly.0 -

Not fighting, asking for clarification.
What's wrong with pants that have kittens on them? Why are they so much worse or different than any other pants?
She said "big difference"
I ask, Why?0 -

I dont need to clarify. There are 100 opinions in here. Do you ask everyone to clarify & explain their train of thought? Its a thread about pajama pants, not whether you should spank a child or not. Relax.0 -
Since this is such a long thread, can someone please clarify the rules of what I am allowed to wear in my daily life? Because I would hate to anger anyone based on my wardrobe.0

So we agree, there's no real justification for your dislike of kitten-covered pants?
People are hurling insults around like "lazy" and "gave up on life" and I just wonder why the material the clothing is made of makes such a difference.
She claimed that if a pair of pants has kittens on them, that makes a "big difference"
I see no difference, and cannot understand why any of you do either.0 -
I've done it happily many times, but only when:
A) I wasn't getting out of the car (drive thru, dropping something off for the mail, etc) but I wanted to stay comfy.
It was for an PJ themed event/party
C) I was a teenager in the marching band and it was a pre-competition rehearsal in the early morning, at our school--in which case "it was good luck" and "everyone did it". Does wearing your PJs in public still "count" if you had to take them off first, put thermal underwear on, and then put the PJs back on with real socks and shoes before leaving the house?
I've never worn them into a store or to a college class or anything where normal attire is required/recommended.
I don't typically sleep in PJs, so my PJ pants are usually in good shape for public appearances... :happy:0 -
ONLY in WALMART should this be Legal..
When I see someone wearing PJ's in public I just want to kick them in the Damn Knee Caps... GET OFF YOUR LAZY RUMP AND PUT SOME CLOTHES ON.. :sad:0 -

Just because you dont understand why people see a difference, doesnt mean you need to ask for an explanation.
Also, where did I write I DISLIKE the pants? I indicated I felt there was a difference between the two - I did not say what type of difference.
I am not someone who hurled such insults - nor do I think that wearing pajama pants outside makes someone lazy.
I simply feel pajama pants are for the home. Do I JUDGE someone who wears them? No. Im talking from an esthetic standpoint. Someone signing off on a mortgage in a bank probabbbbly wont be wearing kitten pants. You know? Thats all. Dont make more of things then they are.
And if offended by those calling people who wearing PJs out lazy, etc, talk to them. Or better yet, why does it matter. This is a forum thread - everyones opinions dont need to be challenged all the time.0 -

People are posting their opinions. You are taking those opinions as gospel for the sake of a lame argument.
I personally don't wear:
Pajama pants
Sweats
Yoga pants
Velour suits
Track suits
Sweatsuits
Out in public because it's not me. The only time you will catch me in anything other than heels is on the weekends when I'm grocery shopping because my feet are too damn sore from dancing in them.
And yes, if I see someone out in pajama pants or anything that resembles pajamas I do think they're not trying and yes, they're lazy because it takes two minutes to throw on a pair of jeans and a shirt. I don't care if you didn't shower. I don't care if you have no make up on and your hair is a mess. Make an effort to at least dress up, especially if you're going to go some place nice. The only time it's "ok" to wear PJ's in public is if you're traveling which is the ONLY time anyone will EVER catch me in anything other than jeans, skirt or dress or if it's 3 am you have the munchies and just ran out to the store.0 -
I think it is okay for hobos and the insane.0

I don't think the fabric is the issue, it is the fact that PJ's are obviously PJ's.
It is the same as when people here on the forums post pics in a bikini and in a bra and panties.
Usually the bra and panties cover more, but that is unacceptable because of what they are and where they are supposed to be worn and shown.
And to clarify, I never said anything was wrong with wearing PJ's out in public. I just can't do it. I feel uncomfortable being out in public wearing them, they are my hanging out at home clothes.0 -

it takes the exact same amount of time to put on pajama pants and a pajama shirt, as it does to put on a pair of jeans and a shirt you approve of.
My point was, and is, the only distinction between the clothes we label as pajamas and the clothes we label as appropriate for street wear is the type of fabric used. One kind of cotton raises judgments (and plenty of hostility, if this thread is any indicator) and one kind of cotton is perfectly fine. The line is arbitrary.
Boy..................you guys really don't like having your opinions questioned.0 -
I saw a dude wearing fleece lined slippers - the flip flop looking kind with no backs - on the treadmill. I kept thinking he was gonna trip.0

I used to just put a coat on over my night dress and put jogging bottoms on if we were going to our 24 hour store late at night. Now I make sure Im dressed and have make up on first! Iv gone to put rubbish in our bin when its outside our front door for collection in my onesie - but no one is ever around so its ok lol0

Wait, what about pajama jeans?
:laugh:0 -
i would NEVER, EVER , EVER wear PJ's or anything that looked like PJ's in public0

Personal preference of not wearing them in public is completely fine. Its the high and mighty ones that are judging everyone by appearance is what I take issue with. Saying anyone who wears them in public doesn't care about themselves, is dirty, or should be belittled is disturbing.0 -

You just wrinkled my brain.0 -
My wife is Chinese, and we lived in China for a while before moving back to Brisbane, Many older women wear pj's outside in China and its very acceptable,I don't think its lazy, Chinese women are very particular about their appearance and have special pj's for wearing when other people are around.
Here in Australia its just for indoor wear, although my wife wears her's in the garden sometimes.
Just depends on where you live and the local culture I think,

Ahh, okay - I know your type.
Ps - I have no problem being "questioned..." Just not over something so silly & trivial.0 -

Since I wear pj's to bed and would be rolling out of bed to go to the store in the pj's. Your comment is invalid.
I don't give a rats *kitten* about the type of fabric you are wearing because guess what? I can't tell! But if you're wearing something that has kittens licking ice cream cones, bright yellow pants with happy turtles on them or anything that resembles any kind of PJ pant then it's a f*cking PJ pant!
And to go back to your last line: You're right. You don't like your opinions questioned.0 -

:laugh:
if you wear them, it's clearly a sign that you have no self esteem.
strangers should stone you, and laugh behind your back.
children shoud avert their eyes.
CLOTHES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS.0 -

Overall I think it's sloppy. If I am just running in for 1 thing and I will be in and out in a few minutes, I may just leave my jams on. But, if I'm going to a store and I know I'm going to be there for a half hour or have several stops to make, I will change clothes.0

When my mom was dying from brain cancer I often did my grocery shopping in my flannel pajama pants. I did so for several months after she passed, as well. When life gets put into perspective, you realize the clothes you're wearing really don't matter. Sometimes a person needs the extra comfort.0

Only from the very first page,
we have:
embarrassing
a personal affront
it says "I've given up"
lazy (three times)
ridiculous
"makes me angry"
lack fashion sense
no respect for self
inappropriate
ghetto
and "have some class"
Those comments go on for ten more pages.
Those comments are about clothes.
That's what I was referring to.0
