I would think you were lazy and had no real care for appearance if I'm honest.

LemonYellowSun · 22/04/2015 20:21

Why wouldn't you just put a pair of jeans and a jacket on??

Model5 · 22/04/2015 20:23

If you don't care what people think, then there's nothing to stop you.

If you do what people think, why would you even consider it.

I'd probably wonder if you'd escaped from some sort of institution!

errol
Me going braless would be even worse than if I went out In my pjs.

So the general concensus is that going out in public In your night clothes is a no.
I suppose I better stay in what I'm wearing and toodle off down tescos.

I would wonder, for at least a moment or two, whether you'd escaped from some sort of secure day unit.

Surely you've got a jumper to go over the pjs, rather than a dressing gown? A dressing gown does kind of advertise the fact that you're not... dressed.

OurGlass · 22/04/2015 20:30

Absolutely a no, don't you dare!

SiobhanSharpe · 22/04/2015 20:37

A word of warning, when I was on maternity leave i gave DH a lift to the station in the morning and didn't get dressed, was in nightie and dressing gown. It had snowed overnight and unfortunately we had a crash slight fender bender on the way. So I was left standing in the road , heaviy pregnant, in my slippers and night attire in the snow waiting for the breakdown vehicle. DH had left to get his train. Just saying....

Dr0pThePirate · 22/04/2015 20:41

This reminds me of when my friends husband refused to get dressed to drive her to the train station. He just wore his tatty old dressing gown and slippers. His argument was it was early morning and he wasn't going anywhere special.

He dropped friend off and drove home but there had been an acaccident and a huge diversion. By the time he got home all the on street parking was taken forcing him to park quarter of a mile away and run home in his nasty dressing gownGrin

It's the clean underwear thing isn't it OP? You just never knowSmile

The last person I saw in a supermarket in PJs was shouting loudly to their other half that they needed "some shit roll". I was more intrigued by their need to rename toilet roll than their attire.

There is a nursery at the top of the road so every morning a procession of PJ-wearing women hop out of their people carriers (which are parked on the pavement, forcing my pram into the road) and drop off their little darlings.

It literally takes 30 seconds to shove on some manky old jeans/hoodie and I really don't get why you wouldn't.

Dr0pThePirate · 22/04/2015 20:50

Maybe "shit roll" is different from toilet tissue?

Thicker perhaps?

kissmethere · 22/04/2015 20:51

Don't do it op . Even if it's jeans it takes a second.

ShakesBooty, that gave me a bellyache laugh!

mangoespadrille · 22/04/2015 20:53

Maybe the need for "shit roll" precluded the lack of available trousers?

SiobhanSharpe · 22/04/2015 20:55

In my defence, it was 6.45 in the morning, still dark, and I had fully intended to get straight back into my lovely warm bed on my return home. Which turned out to be at about 11.30 am.

Dr0pThePirate · 22/04/2015 21:00

Mango Grin

The very threads they stood in represented the last items of unsoiled clothing.

And to think you judged those people!

viva100 · 22/04/2015 21:05

Go for it. I do it all the time (I have a super huge supermarket downstairs - the cashier knows me already haha)

TheCatsMother99 · 22/04/2015 21:08

Pjs is horrific as it is, but throwing a dressing gown on instead of just chucking a coat on takes the biscuit... Draws even more attention to you.

ShakesBootyFlabWobbles · 22/04/2015 21:10

Grin all true kissme

BigPawsBrown · 22/04/2015 21:16

Also 8pm is not late night shopping Confused

Gruntbaby · 22/04/2015 21:20

I have never ever seen anybody in a supermarket in their PJs. Where do you see this? Is it late at night?

makeminea6x · 22/04/2015 21:24

Why does anyone care what anyone else is wearing if it doesn't have racist slogans on it or a hole through which their genitals are poking?

makeminea6x · 22/04/2015 21:25

Also if I never wear my pyjamas to bed can I wear them to the supermarket?

Mousefinkle · 22/04/2015 21:27

Grin shit roll.

I've seen women (yes, it's always been women...) going to the corner shop in their pjs and slippers a few times although not for a fair few years now. Never seen anyone in the supermarket in pjs but then I'm always there early afternoon so I probably miss all of the excitement Grin. I would judge you fwiw, harshly. Keep the pj shirt on, pop a jacket over it and put some jeans over your bottoms. There's really no excuse...

blackheartsgirl · 22/04/2015 21:28

The trick is is to wear pj's that actually look like jogging bottoms, you can then stick a long coat over the top and trainers or uggs on and you're sorted

I've never done this with a onesie oh no

carabos · 22/04/2015 21:28

I don't have pjs but I do have an all -enveloping burka type dressing gown. One of the few times I wear it is for the airport run at stupid o'clock. Airport is less than 20 min away and I don't get out of the car. I come home and go back to bed, but I do cross my fingers that nothing happens on the way Wink.

Donthate · 22/04/2015 21:38

My dad and I went to a local bakery to pick up some sandwiches for a picnic. Three people in the queue in front of us had pyjamas on. It was 11.30. I judged. My dad was Shock. It is a fab bakery though, worth getting dressed for Grin
