AIBU to be so fed up and confused on pyjama issue

[mummyof2pr]

AIBU to be serverly annoyed with all the judgements on pyjama wearers?

Can someone explain to me what the big deal over wearing pyjamas is? I don't understand. I shower daily, I wash my clothes if they are used/unclean. When I get up I get dressed go about my day, come home and shower and put pyjama pants on until I get into bed. I take them off before bed as I only sleep in my underwear. If I don't have anything to do in the day I'll wake up and put the pyjama pants on because they are comfortable and warm. If I then realise I have to go out and make a run to the store I'll just go like this as I usually have my children (4m and 2y) with me and if not I'm trying to do the shop as fast as I can to get back to them as my DH is not the best with small children and often gets flustered. I am not choosing to wear them out of laziness, I choose to wear them out of comfort. They are clean, I am clean. Nothing inappropriate is exposed. So I don't understand how it is hurting anybody. I don't think it's fair to sit and judge people who chose to wear pyjamas and be comfortable and I don't understand why people are so offended by this?
I'm sure there are a few people that do wear them because they are lazy and slobbish but I don't think it's fair to judge all people that wear them this way.

Also some pants show an underwear line and I would rather wear my lose pyjama pants than have people see my disgusting underwear line in my leggings or yoga pants.

I'm not offended, I'm bewildered. I don't understand the 'comfort' issue. Aren't all your clothes comfy?

Why are PJs more comfortable than jeans?

Society runs on group rules. Often unwritten. You know your PJs are clean but society at large just doesn't associate PJs with "clean clothes".

That make change over time of course. However I'm afraid if you don't want to be judged you have to play along with the rules. If you don't choose to do that, that's absolutely fine but you will be subject to some (mostly silent) judging.

It's the same with choosing to have pink hair or facial tattoos. People judge by appearances about all sorts of things: clothes; hair; handbags and shoes the list is endless!

Come to Essex Mitzy

It's like a plague.

How do you know someone hasn't slept in jeans or yoga pants or legging or tracksuit bottoms then if that's your argument?

Then stop wearing "disgusting underwear".

Op are you just looking for a fight, you asked the question, wear what the hell you please, but yes the majority of society feel it weird to go to the shops in your pyjamas. You don't, that's fine,

Pjs don't bother me, it's the people I see wandering around in dressing gowns that look lazy and ridiculous.

I put pjs on when I get up, or when I get in after work, and might go to the shop in them but I put a hoody or a cardigan on. I wouldn't go out past the front gate in a dressing gown.

@bluntness100 yes but I'm saying you shouldn't attack people on it. Feel however you want but to sit there and make these horrible comments about people because of it is ridiculous.

YANBU, it shouldn't matter really, at the end of the day they are just trousers. If they were plain black I doubt anyone would even know.

That said, I wouldn't be able to do it. It's not a thing in the town I live in, I've never seen anyone out and about in thier jammys and I feel self conscious even opening the door to the postie in my pjs. But there is no rational reason, as long as they and you are clean.

Oh I've long been intrigued by Essex fashions Chipped! I'll get my binoculars and head South on a pyjama safari.

People in the shop don't know you don't wear them to bed op, they probably assume that you woke up in them and wore them all day. Its just a bit scruffy

I wear PJ's all times of the day at home, I love them. Would never go out in them though!

@Ollie as I've stated in previous reply people can sleep in anything and you would have no idea. So are you judging people in their sweatpants/leggings as well?

Op I haven't made any horrible comments on people who do it. 🙄

At first, when I heard about the pyjama issue I thought it was really quite smeggy, but having thought about it a bit more, I thought, it's not people going out in stained, slept-in clothes is it? They actually look really comfy. I think it's just another way to tell women what to wear. Men can go to the supermarket in disgusting, grubby trackies or shirtless, or in t-shirts that used to be white but are now grey, but women in clean, comfortable (and sometimes stylish) clothes are vilified. Know your place and be well groomed at all times, cos you are going to be judged to fuck by Judgy McJudgyson.

Wear your pyjamas with pride. I don't actually care if you've go t no underwear underneath, it's not something I generally wonder about people.

Doesn't offend me. It is super weird though! Just so unbelievably lazy, and also some people get a bit sweaty etc in sleep so bit weird to stay in pjs still. On the other hand if you've changed into fresh ones why not puts some actual clothes on?!

OP I think you need to accept that public pyjama wearing will always be unacceptable to certain people.

You have to rush the shop because your husband can't look after his own children?! . Mind you, perhaps it is relevant. Maybe you'd have more time to change into actual trousers if you had a husband who could parent his own children

Sweat pants and leggings sre day wear. Pyjamas are night wear. Cmon, why are you looking for this fight?

I don't like those bloody awful flowery trousers that are EVERYWHERE in the summer now. They look more like pyjamas than most pyjamas do.

However, live and live, I say.

@buster because as I've said they are comfier and warmer than regular clothes.

What is the problem with wearing fleece lined leggings? Or joggers/yoga pants?

It looks lazy and unclean to wear pj's about the place. Nobody knows or cares that you don't wear them to bed and sleep in the nuddy they just see lazy, smelly, tramp (not slut tramp but hobo tramp)

If I found latex to be comfy would it be acceptable to you to see my size 16 arse lolloping about Tesco in a full on Spanx suit? That's how appropriate some people find you wearing pj's about.

Just put some trousers on to go out nobody wants to see you wondering about in your favourite washed out fleece, but oh so comfy pj bottoms.

OP:
People do not know why you are wearing your nightwear in public. They will judge you as being lazy and slobbish.
People will never see me in that light. I am properly dressed in outdoor wear while I am shopping and my hair has been washed that day and my makeup has been applied.

Go me.

But lounge wear is neither.

It's less of a safari Mitzy as the wearers rarely break into a run and don't really understand the concept of camouflage. It's more like trainspotting at a train station, sometimes you have to wait awhile, but it's pretty much guaranteed.
In fact head to the closest Iceland Supermarket and you can time the end of the school run by the sound of shufferling Fuggs and flapping dressing gowns...
