Going out shopping in your pyjamas

[NicolaDeLaHaye]

AIBU to think it's lazy and slovenly?

some of my pyjama trousers aren't a lot different to track suit trousers - I'd throw a coat on over those and go the the local waitrose late night - but not ones with checks or obvious pyjama type patterns.

I was out the other day and saw a woman taking her child to school - pyjamas, pink fluffy dressing gown, slippers - but the really bizarre thing was a full face of heavy make up that must have taken ages.

Yer what? I've be reporting you via See it; Say it; Sorted 🤣🤣

I’d do that before leaving the house. But in my own house? If I don’t feel like it? Nope. And it isn’t a sign of laziness/slovenliness/moral turpitude either.

This is it really. Standards have dropped dreadfully. I try to look smart when I go out. I may not achieve others ideas of smart but I do try. I sometimes find shop assistants treat the better dressed people differently

Do you sleep in a hoodie?

It’s completely manky.

I was in a hotel in London last week and the woman at the table next to me had come down to breakfast in her pjs and slippers and hadn’t even brushed her hair.

put me off my breakfast

I don't go out in my PJs but last night to watch TV, I wore quite smart, lose striped trousers and and ironed shirt with a revere collar and buttons. Today I'm wearing saggy bottomed joggers and a paint stained sweatshirt 🤣

Your post just reminded me of the time I saw a woman cycling through the outskirts of a busyish small town, on a hot day, in nothing but a thong bikini. From the back she looked naked till you took a second look. 😲 Again, nowhere near a beach or anything like that. On one level I sort of admire that level of insouciance, but I was mainly ‘who does that?!’

I went to have a look at a spa that I was thinking of joining. We had a show round and then we got to the restaurant and there were couples sitting having lunch in their bathrobes. I presume it’s the done thing because they were all doing it. I would never! We left very quickly after they and did not join. It’s not a good look!

Well that's just odd, it absolutely is the done thing, even in the swankiest of spas. The spas provide the robes (and slippers).

To be fair it’s very rare nowadays where I live. If I’m honest I think I assume that when I see people wandering around in their jammies that they have MH issues .

I know they provide them but just because they are provided it does not mean they need to be worn to the restaurant.

I have been to some ‘swanky’ spa’s and people dress smartly for lunch.

Being out in public wearing your pjs is absolutely gross and slovenly. I completely agree with a pp who said it shows a lack of respect for yourself and others.

It is done but god i hate it so uncomfortable, me and my fiends always change to light clothing when we go. There is even one now that after opening after covid they change the way the spa is so you have to walk to another restaurant to get your lunch and they specifically say you have to be clothed now going to it, only robes and slippers to be worn in the spa and the hallways of the room section

Why do I need to show the world anything?

I have pride in a whole lot of things, my appearance is very low down that list, I’m all about feeling comfortable.

I don’t own pyjamas, I find them terribly uncomfortable, so I wouldn’t wear them to the shop. But the t-shirts I wear in bed will be from the same drawer full of t-shirts I wear when I go to the shops. Nobody cares about that.

The poshest hotel I’ve ever been to (and it was uber posh) had people sitting drinking coffee in their PJs in the reception area.

I'd stroll round Harrods in these, except they seem to have neglected to install pockets in the side seams of the trousers. So I'll have to keep looking for a set of jimjams to go upmarket shopping in. https://www.lilysilk.com/uk/viola-oversized-silk-satin-pajama-set.html

I don't wear anything in bed so is it OK for me to go shopping in my nightwear?

I dare you!

😆😆😆

Last time I accidentally flashed an innocent bystander I was in my 20s, were I still in my 20s or looked remotely like I did then I might be tempted to take the dare

As long as ppl r clean and not behaving like dicks I don’t care what they are wearing x

One of the school mums sometimes has PJs under her coat.
Never has her bra on. Not showered. She thinks nobody notices…

But you do, don't you?

I don't need to be smart. Nobody is going to see me.

How do you know she thinks no one notices? Maybe she's aware they notice and she doesn't care?

Anyway, I don't go out in pyjamas but braless is another matter. I go out without a bra and I don't give af!
