to wonder why people don't get dressed anymore

[likesnowflakesinanocean]

or is it just where I live? everyone is wandering around in pjs, go to the shop someone's there in pjs, bobbing out of each others houses in pjs, kids on the park not dressed. I don't even like putting the bin out in my pjs am I missing a new craze or something

The shuffling and the pigeon walk as the Uggs collapse in.

I'm Australian and WOULD RATHER DIE than wear uggs outside.
They are slippers, for the love of god.

There is one lass in the village who wears a onesie to walk the dog at 6:00am. Reason I know this is because the opposite neighbour's dog likes to have a row with her dog and it wakes up the baby.

We have a kind of house rule that nobody goes downstairs until washed and dressed - but then leaving the house in my nightwear would probably give people nightmares .

This seems to have been a bit of a trend in some areas for a while now, there have been stories in the papers of pj's being banned from tescos/school runs for a few years.

I couldn't imagine wearing pjs anywhere I'm likely to run into anyone I know. Occasionally on a Saturday morning, I've popped to the corner shop with a long coat and jeans pulled on over my pjs, as I'm planning to buy a paper/milk and then go back to bed with a cup of tea.

I haven't done this yet, but I could imagine, on my day off, wearing my pjs as far as our back gate to let the kids out (they have just started occasionally walking to school on their own). In the winter, it would be very tempting to let them out and then go back to bed! (I'm not a total slob, I work 4 days a week. but I sometimes enjoy a slow start on my day off)

stringcheese you owe it your country to become the Ugg police. Next time you see someone shuffling up the road in their manky soggy Uggs, de-Ugg them and give them a stern talking to.

It might be slightly dangerous at times.....but think of the glory!

They are covered up, can't see the problem.

They are only clothes.

On it Squoosh

My grown up DDs get up shower and then put clean Pjs on if they are not going to work.

I think pjs are worn like clothes now iyswim. We do all live on rough estates though.

Anyway, I've just read the 'men died in the war,so you could wear clothes' post and I'm proper laughing.

i always wonder about the nickers. i don't wear pants in bed under pjs so when i see someone in the shop in pjs im wondering if they go to bed in pants - minging
or are in the shop without pants - minging.
or they took the pjs off put pants on then the pjs but in that case just get dressed??

Just glimpsed the posts but no I think it's madness to wear pjs out of the house. Definitely not to the shop or beyond!!

A couple of Saturdays ago during half term when we didn't need to rush off for swimming, my 5 year old son said 'mummy I need to get dressed!!! I'm still in my pjs!' At about 10am. I thought he'd want to lounge about! Guess not.

I think that is the most ridiculous post I've ever read on MN.

Sorry Mrs Devere. Have I hit a sore point.

Just because your life is "shitty" ( your words, not mine) don't take a pop at me because I think this thread reaks of snobby ness.

And tell me what my remark about pretty poor form means about me! If you find other people's intolerance a thing that is funny ( and that is all that snobby ness is) then you are just as bad as them.

But then, I find the snobby attitude in this thread quite amusing.

I'd never go out in my Pjs though.

Most of them have holes in.

If people are vaguely decently covered then I can't see the problem with PJs or onesies. As long as I don't have to wear them it's fine by me.

Usualsuspect. PMSL

nemno. Well said.

I sleep naked. Sorry if tmi. I get up fully expecting a child to wipe their nose on me, poo on me, draw/paint/spread porridge on me. I put on Pjs.

I then take the bin out, feed the chickens etc in said jammies.

I have got a dog now, who moults. I change into pjs when I enter my house to avoid clothes being haired and dogged up. - here's the awful part, I now take said dog round the block/down the river/lane in my pjs. I already change in and out of pjs for all school trips (there are three) shops, family visits, etc. sod it, I'm taking the dog round the block as I am.

I refuse to go and spend money on three or four tracksuits for this purpose when I already have hundreds of perfectly adequate pajamas at home.

Feel free to judge me, I am a hypocrite that judges the women that pick DC up from school in pjs (drop off I wouldn't mind so much)

I wouldn't, I wouldn't feel right. I don't look at people in their pjs and think what a scruff but I do question why they couldn't be bothered to get dressed.

I did have a lovely new dressing gown for my birthday,I would love to waft about the co op in it.

Hahaha at men died in the war. I missed that.

Someone should tell Uncle Albert.

It's not a moral decline fgs. Any more than mini skirts, the Beatles getting an OBE, the Sex Pistols or Vivienne Westwood meeting the queen with her thruppenies out was.

Its a big thing in Dublin (where I'm from) there was actually a documentary about it:

From what I can tell, its kind of a counter-culture thing in a way - its not so crazily different to the way people were disgusted young people were wearing mini-skirts, or punk dressing. Not something I'd be into, but it does tend to be that people have 'going out' pjs so its not just being too lazy to get dressed. I'm sure it will pass.

Great use of the word waft usual suspect lol

Ilove not trying to start a bunfight here but isnt this pot calling the kettle black (or whatever the saying is!!)?

correct especially me and mrsdevere(Im with you MRS D!) if were wrong but it comes across you're being judgy and snobby on US? as in-well Im better than you cos Im not being judgy pants on those who wear pjs outside? (unless we are misenterpreting you?)

were talking about clothes etiquette here. i wouldnt wear pjs outside any more than id wear welly boots and a coat to bed!!
