Page 19 | Shopping in pyjamas

There are loads of types of clothes as loose and comfy as PJ’s that aren’t classed as nightwear!! Loads! Jogging bottoms, leggings, harem pants, loose drawstring cotton trousers, yoga pants, loose t-shirts, zip up hoodies, the list goes on. Totally acceptable to wear out the house and absolutely not PJ’s.

I don’t see how it’s easier to get dressed in pj’s and dressing gowns. You are still getting dressed and as others have said harem trousers, jersey tops etc are just as unstructured. I really hope this doesn’t become a thing.

I loathe it.Chavvy, slovenly and lazy

OP, do you live in Liverpool?

Who are you to judge? This society is way too focused on other people's lives. They aren't nakes, and they are allowed to wear what they like. Well done to them for doing what they want and now worrying about people with tiny little lives judging strangers actions

I assume you go shopping in your pjs then?

I judge you and anyone who condones it as being ok

VestaTilley · 22/03/2021 12:05

YANBU. It’s horrible and I despair at the way our society is going.

So unhygienic and sends such a poor message to children.

I also feel loads better if I shower and dress, even if I don’t do much all day. It takes no time to pull on a pair of jeans and a hoodie- I will never understand why people (unless have a learning disability etc) can’t get dressed to go out.

And I have depression, so I’m not without sympathy for those ill or lacking motivation- but it’s not ok.

I judge and I don't have a tiny little life either.

Do we need to have tiny little lives to judge poor standards?

hcoe21 · 22/03/2021 12:39

I don't go shopping in my PJ's actually. But what makes you think that your opinion is right and people shouldn't? Why does it bother you? Does it impact on your life in anyway? Are they hurting you? No.

Concentrate on your own life, and don't assume everyone has to have the exact same "standards" as yourself. You are in no way doing anything purposeful with your life by judging others.

Buffs · 22/03/2021 12:58

I think judging people on what they wear is not really a good idea, where does it end? Some people’s pjs are smarter, more decent and cleaner than someone else’s Sunday best. You’re always on thin ice judging by appearances.

Vursayles · 22/03/2021 13:20

Urgh. It’s so much more than just judging by appearances. That’s not the point at all! It’s basic, fundamental standards of hygiene and self-respect.

Sure they aren’t “hurting” anyone, but they are showing a selfish lack of respect for everyone around them by rocking up to an establishment selling food in clothes used for sleeping in. Those who agree with it, do you teach your kids this is an acceptable thing to do? It’s just pathetic, unless under extreme circumstances.

Same here, and (like with many threads where someone expresses views on something like this) I highly doubt all the people saying 'don't judge' absolutely have things they judge others for. It just sounds nice online to pretend that you'd never bat an eyelid if someone's wandering around the supermarket in their nighwear.
I'd also bet that the majority of posters saying 'don't judge, some pyjamas are very nice looking' wouldn't be going to the supermarket or doing the school run in their nightwear either, which suggests that they probably do know there's something wrong with going out and about all day in sleepwear. Otherwise they'd be doing it regularly themselves, after all some pyjamas are very nice and nobody can tell the difference.

@Gbtch That's unfair. I'm from Liverpool and I know nobody personally who would do that. Why are you referencing Liverpool?

Cookerhood · 22/03/2021 13:51

It's a bit like Boris Johnson looking like he's been dragged through a hedge backwards. It doesn't really matter, it shouldn't have any effect on how he does his job. It's clearly deliberate, but I think it shows a lack of respect to other people. It's the same with people who get dressed up in their PJs & dressing gown. It's a deliberate act & is either "look at me" or "I don't have any respect for societal norms".

@radiateforme

I know, this has been done to death, but just went to the supermarket and saw a full family out shopping in their pyjamas. It's the first time I've actually seen a fully grown adult out in a full set of pj's (dressing gown, pyjama top, pyjama bottoms, fluffy socks and sliders). More curious to know exactly why people find this so unacceptable, because essentially they are just clothes. For me it is just slovenly and lazy. But maybe I'm being too judgemental. Opinions?

We do pajama missions in my house. The kids had a tough time when they were little and they are now 21 & 16 and we still do them. (Even the 21 year old when he visits home) For us, it was something (my sister and I) to do to distract the kids and let them think we were being a little 'naughty' by not getting dressed. The 16 year old LOVES when we do pajama missions even now, especially since she's been mostly locked at home for a year, to get ice cream or a special take out. For us, it's not lazy, it's fun and a redirection.

Sweet666 · 22/03/2021 14:34

Who cares? I don't see how it could possibly matter what someone wears to the supermarket... judging people by their clothes is really messed up, other people's appearance is none of your business and shouldn't matter

RampantIvy · 22/03/2021 18:00

I think a lot of people are missing the point that it isn't really about the clothes, but about the perception people have of the pyjama wearers because of the image they project.

LST · 22/03/2021 18:08

I wish I had such a small amount to worry about that I could fathom enough arsed to judge someone on what they wear to the supermarket

LolaSmiles · 22/03/2021 18:16

That's all very noble, but when was the last time you went to the supermarket in your nightwear?

Given it apparently doesn't matter, I'm guessing all the people who say it's so judgey to think people should get dressed to leave the house must all be regular pyjama-in-public wearers. Somehow I doubt they all go out round the shops in their nightwear and it's more sitting behind a screen pretending that they never judge anyone.
