to think the current fashion of wearing PJ's & Uggs is utterly stupid

Why are all the teenagers doing this lately? I found some in starbucks this morning in a full face of makeup, PJ bottoms, and uggs. Some even had dressing gowns on (admittedly this is the first time Ive seen one go that far)

AIBU or is this ridiculous! Why are all the kids doing it?!

I call them Yuck boots, don't know which is worse to be wearing, but the two together Shock

wholovesyou · 25/09/2010 12:49

I could understand a person on their own. Even a mum getting shopping/dropping child off etc.

But Ive see packs and packs of teenage girls doing this?! Confused

My babysitter does this but I assume she is actually going to bed as soon as I get home. I had no idea that it was a daytime look too :o

nickelbabe · 25/09/2010 12:51

see, i can see the sense in wearing uggs as slipper,s because let's face it, that's what they really are.

but not in public.

LynetteScavo · 25/09/2010 12:52

You're making it up about the dressing gowns. Hmm

wholovesyou · 25/09/2010 12:52

Quite embarrassingly, one girl actually had on MY pyjama's. Blush

This is thankfully not a trend where I live

maduggar · 25/09/2010 13:04

Its been going on round here too. At first I thought there were just a lot of PJ parties or ssomething. But now I see them doing shopping, hanging about teh park smoking etc, in these patterened PJs! Odd indeed.

SecretNutellaFix · 25/09/2010 13:09

I saw it on a child of 9/10 who was playing with a larger group of properly dressed children.

woopsidaisy · 25/09/2010 13:10

The work-shy yoof of today have been doing this for ages.A friend of mine owns a dept.store in Dublin City Centre.She says they have to provide day wear PJs and more glamerous evening wear PJs...the inner city girls can't get enough of them,WTF? Of course if these people actually had jobs they wouldn't get to swan about in PJs all day,sniff!

wholovesyou · 25/09/2010 13:13

Daytime PJs. Eveningwear PJ's. Shock

Why are all the kids doing it?!

I'm guessing because adults are not less likely to do it so it's a form of lazyness rebellion?

NineTails20 · 25/09/2010 13:18

woopsidaisy Try living in Ballymun......it's rampant around here. Thankfully, I have drummed it into my daughter that if I ever catch her going out in her PJ's, I will burn all of her jimjams. Grin

wholovesyou · 25/09/2010 13:21

I may walk into stabucks tomorrow in a little lacy agent provocateur number. Grin

it's not fashion around here. I've heard about it in Liverpool (on here), but it hasn't got as far as here, thank goodness.

elmofan · 25/09/2010 13:24

lol @ ninetails20 ... its not much better in darndale & coolock tbh . They wear them in the shopping centres .

ninah · 25/09/2010 13:26

Wow at last a trend I can fully embrace
I looove wearing a dressing gown. As a wannabe writer it is my uniform. (not for day job though) Don't own Uggs but this might persuade me

sapphireblue · 25/09/2010 16:20

I would love it if I could go out in my pjs Blush I would never have the nerve though!

Maybe I could go into Starbucks in my pjs and dressing gown and lie down for a little snooze under the table after my coffee. I could even take my sleepingbag.

NineTails20 · 25/09/2010 16:26

elmofan I was just coming down the road after coming back from Swords, and spotted a neighbour's daughter in her daytime pyjamas and Uggs as she was walking down the road. I had to resist the urge to reach out of the car and slap her, lol.

Callisto · 25/09/2010 16:29

Uggs are hideous, nearly as bad as Crocs. Why on earth anyone is seen out in such ugly footwear is beyond me. Uggs and PJs as a fashion statement? Jesus H.

Hedgeblunder · 25/09/2010 16:39

You're not in Liverpool are you? I'm an Uggs hag (I'm in heels 99 percet of the time so they're a relief!) but last time I was in scouseland I saw the same thing- except loooooads of them had hair rollers in too!!

PaulineCampbellJones · 25/09/2010 16:42

There are certain areas of my city where people go to the supermarket, takeaway etc in pyjamas, uggs, dressing gown. Utterly minging.

Bunbaker · 25/09/2010 16:46

I must live in a different world from the rest of you because I have never seen anyone go out in their pyjamas - probably because it is too cold round here most of the time!
