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 find it really odd because its so easy to chuck on yoga pants and a hoody and be just as comfy.

This will shock you OP

I went to the cinema and then to a bar in PJs.

The film was the Rocky Horror Picture Show though and I was probably wearing more clothes than a lot of people.

No, but as you can see I only put half my head on so people can't see my hair 😊

Was coming on to post this. Never seen anyone in PJs unless we were guests in their home. Never seen it at hotels either.

Yes Ive worked on psychiatric wards in the past and its a big thing that you get up, get washed and dressed for the day, its a totally different mental state to be in.

Personally, I'd shoot 'em!! - but it is, the slow drip, drip, drip of a reduction of standards and pure laziness.
If you wish to lay about in sleep/lounge way all day long - fine, but going outside, even for a pint of milk, change your clothes! I wake up, shower, and change ready for the day - even when I'm working from home, I'm still in exactly what I'd wear to the office, although at home I will wear shorts!
As for the school run............ What message are they sending ? Not only to their children but to the school and other children?
Standards are slipping, which again means that you wouldn't ask that parent/neighbour to help out, sign a petition, assist with the school fete etc..,

I find it gross and unhygienic. I have seen people sitting on public transport in PJs - like seriously? In a same seat just vacated by piss smelling old homeless looking man.

But I think its more of a statement than simply laziness. I see it a lot with teenagers - not sure what they are trying to say but its clearly deliberate. Tight vest with bra and PJ bottoms plus uggs or something equally slouchy. Like, I'm sooo laid back I cant even get dressed.

If I wanted breakfast in my pjs at a hotel, I'd order room service. Seems very odd.

What, you don’t wear a powdered wig? How slutty!

I grew up somewhere that it was entirely normal to see women in PJs dropping off kids to school, going shopping etc. Full face of make up but in PJs and usually Uggs or something. I used to wonder if they went home and got back into bed wearing the same grotty pyjamas they’d been on the bus in.
It was grim then and it’s grim now.

How exactly would you stamp it out? Who’s the arbiter of ‘acceptable’ attire?

Giving 1980s crappy nightclub bouncer vibes.

Pyjama and ‘nightie’ trends were big on the runways for Spring/Summer this year: https://www.houseofcolour.co.uk/blog/how-to-wear-springs-comfiest-trend-pyjama-dressing.

Are sliders slippers? Or do they have to be fluffy and pink to count?

When is a long belted cardigan a ‘dressing gown’? When it’s fluffy and pink?

Reminds me of back in the day, a woman was refused entry to Harrods’ for wearing ripped jeans. Turns out they were designer ripped jeans she’d bought (for hundreds of pounds)…in Harrods.

And even if people are wearing ‘unacceptable’ leisurewear, nightwear or whatever you want to call it (i.e. loose-fitting trousers and a top) out of their home or hotel room, does the rule apply equally? For example, if someone’s dragged themself from their sickbed to get their kids to school on time? Should they still be arrested by the fashion police?

I don’t see the need for people to wear make up every time they leave the house or to have breakfast in an hotel. But lots of people prefer to, as it seems you do. That’s cool with me.

To each their own.

I have noticed signs in hotels where I have stayed over the last couple of years; 'please no dressing gowns and slippers in the dining room'

shocked that it is necessary. And these are "nice" hotels like Park Hyatts or Intercontinental

This is me on the school run

Oh, and gloves? Kid, glacé, no one wants to see your hands. Standards are so low these days.

But do you wear a hat? Nice ladies don't go out bareheaded.

Out of interest, how do you know she is middle class?
Are the middle classes more worthy of ire than the working classes? Because the MC should know better than the slovenly working classes?

I do agree with you though but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone in PJs in my local Waitrose or M&S or on the school run.

It’s simple. They have no respect for themselves or others. It’s an arrogance in which they feel they can wear what they like. We get parents coming to school and turning up in reception in their pyjamas. Imagine what other teenagers think of that parent. It’s hicky and there is no excuse.

I agree with you 100%. Some people can seem to normalise and justify just about anything. There seems to be no bar too low.

So are many other people, but wearing pj's is a choice, nothing to do with your job.

Not every single mother shift worker wears pj's out.

Have done the nights shifts, the sleepless nights etc but would never be out in pyjamas.

I do have a neighbour who's an A&E doctor, always well turned out for drop off and pick ups despite the job.

I had a driving instructor who did this, you can tell if someone's in their bed clothes, the clothes don't sit as well and there's a bed whiff to accompany it.
🤮

Have done lots of shift work and know many who do too, but not a single one who doesn't change to do the school run.

such a shallow way of seeing and putting things!! My child knows I care and I put in efforts into things that matter. Making sure my kids thrive emotionally and academically, settling them up for life financially. Although I don’t go to school in pyjamas, I don’t do make up / jewellery etc for school drop offs! If I went in Pyjamas, my kids care a shit as all of us are reasonably secure in our own skin - we don’t feel the need to paint our faces first thing in the morning - no !!

Yes decorum has absolutely gone out the window. Calling someone wrong in the head is ableist and ignorant, not how one should act at all. Shame on you.

It’s the least you can do. 😂

Why do you need jewellery and nice clothes to do the school run or have breakfast?

There's an in between. Not PJ's but haven't spent half your morning getting "done up". School (nursery here) run in jeans and a hoody, but I'll be clean. Unless it's an in office day, in which case it'll be office attire, make up, jewellery etc for the drop off because it's on the way.
