To think that women (or men) who drop their kids off at school in PJS, go shopping in Tesco in pj's and come down to the breakfast in a hotel in pj's are wrong in the head?

I’ve never seen anyone wearing pj’s in a hotel restaurant or in a supermarket etc. Although we do have a family tradition of a pj Christmas competition - strictly at home 🎄🤶

We can agree that we wouldn't wear PJ's on the school run and still think you're being very judgemental and rude.

So let’s get this straight.

Indian street wear (Kurta pyjamas), traditionally worn for festive occasions or evening outings, were adopted by British colonialists as sleepwear because the British were too prudish and buttoned up to wear it in the day: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/origin-pajamas-pjs

Fast forward a century or so, and because some European tourists may now wear this ‘sleepwear’ to breakfast in hotels in India, the hotels ban pyjamas: traditional Indian dress?

And you think that’s a good thing? To nick someone’s clothing style, then expect them to ban it in their own hotels/country because it offends you to wear it? Bit colonialist, don’t you think?

Like wearing kilts to bed, then asking Scottish hotels to ban them because it offends you if people wear them out.

We have also stayed at hotels in Shimla and there were as many Indians as Europeans wearing jeans.

Again with the ridiculous extrapolations. Are you really this silly? Can you really not tell the difference between the health hazard of emptying your bowels on the street and wearing PJs? Honestly?

Incidentally, some people who are overly concerned with the appearance of others would consider jewellery, make up etc on the school run tacky and performative. There have been a few posts on the subject of immaculately coiffured and made up women, usually descending into unpleasant comments about how to spot council house mothers. I have been equally appalled at attitudes on those threads, btw.

@YourAmplePlumPoster , like you I would never wear pyjamas outside. You talk about beautiful manners etc, but I don’t really think using an outdated expression like ‘wrong in the head’ is very appropriate or kind.

Considering how many "nice hotels" OP stays at, you'd think she'd have a better handle on being nice.

You just keep throwing in more bollocks posts don’t you? 😂

For the school run? Why is it appropriate? Also try reading, I did say it's because it will look like you're trying to get with one of the dads. Or, another thought, just prove you're "better" than the other mums.

There's a woman in my office who wears cocktail dresses, diamonds (or at least diamond effect) and full "night out" make up every day she's in. She has thrown herself at several male co workers, despite both them and her being married. People talk about the fact she dresses like that purely for the attention and in an attempt to "snag" one of the men.

I don’t wear makeup and jewellery for any occasion.

Employ staff to intercept them before they reach the breakfast room to avoid refund requests?

Or use AI to spot a pyjama at 20m?

Insist on sniffing people before they’re seated to check they’ve showered?

I wonder (if truth be told) what percentage of people eat an hotel breakfast before having a shower, but wear ‘regular clothes’ (whatever they are) rather than identifiable PJs. I’d bet a substantial proportion only wake in time to dash to breakfast before it ends, then shower afterwards, especially if they’re not checking out that day.

But apparently that’s OK, as they’re not wearing (potentially freshly laundered) PJs.

Ah yes, the natural next step from silk pyjamas at breakfast is taking a dump in public.

Let people eat breakfast in whatever clothes they want. I'm sure you wear things other people deem inappropriate for the occasion. I don't see jewellery at 730am for the school run as necessary and anyone "done up" for just that trip out is inappropriate (school mum friends will be gossiping that you're after the dad's).

No chance I’d turn a blind eye

What would you do then? Loudly confront a stranger in a hotel restaurant, thus causing a scene?

I wonder which of you would be considered to have the least decorum...

We are a nation of scruff bags who get scruffier every day. Not saying we should all go around in a suit but I do think it’s a little sad how scruffy people are these days. I blame Lycra and shell suits. That’s when it started.

I just think it violates the sanctity of pyjamas 😂 How can your pyjamas feel lovely and comfy at the end of the day if you've worn them outside?

My cut off point is if people are being a nuisance. Where I live, it's not uncommon to see people drunk during the day, lying on pavements outside the weather spoons, etc, shouting at passers-by. Wearing odd/minimal clothing is no threat to me unless they run up to me shouting the odds. I don't see what people wear or don't wear as something that I have any need to be bothered by.

My nan had an outfit like that in early 30s. With flowers on.

I would have my suspicions about a poster named "ampleplumposter"🤔 Dropped a grenade and MN is not disappointing him.

Life is just too short for this, people. Live by your own values and let others live by theirs.
