To think that women (or men) who drop their kids off at school in PJS, go shopping in Tesco in pj's and come down to the breakfast in a hotel in pj's are wrong in the head?

I visited Amsterdam last year and was shocked to see an apparently middle class women coming down to breakfast in her pj's,dressing gown and slippers. Similarly going round Tescos where there are people, especially women in pj's and slippers. No doubt I'll be called an old right wing fascist or something.

Well it happens to be true.

Again with the ridiculous extrapolations. Are you really this silly? Can you really not tell the difference between the health hazard of emptying your bowels on the street and wearing PJs? Honestly?

Incidentally, some people who are overly concerned with the appearance of others would consider jewellery, make up etc on the school run tacky and performative. There have been a few posts on the subject of immaculately coiffured and made up women, usually descending into unpleasant comments about how to spot council house mothers. I have been equally appalled at attitudes on those threads, btw.

We have also stayed at hotels in Shimla and there were as many Indians as Europeans wearing jeans.

So far, 79% agree with me. So I think you are in the minority here. By the way, regarding the "ableist" slur, I have a son who is lame after an accident and uses a crutch. We had a talk about this today and he said "I'd never go out anywhere in my pyjamas. I always shower, dress and put on cologne when I go out. Even to the supermarket." How weird eh?

They weren't wearing pj's to breakfast were they?

79% suggests mumsnet doesn't have as many silly people as are posting here 🙄 🤣

So let’s get this straight.

Indian street wear (Kurta pyjamas), traditionally worn for festive occasions or evening outings, were adopted by British colonialists as sleepwear because the British were too prudish and buttoned up to wear it in the day: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/origin-pajamas-pjs

Fast forward a century or so, and because some European tourists may now wear this ‘sleepwear’ to breakfast in hotels in India, the hotels ban pyjamas: traditional Indian dress?

And you think that’s a good thing? To nick someone’s clothing style, then expect them to ban it in their own hotels/country because it offends you to wear it? Bit colonialist, don’t you think?

Like wearing kilts to bed, then asking Scottish hotels to ban them because it offends you if people wear them out.

We can agree that we wouldn't wear PJ's on the school run and still think you're being very judgemental and rude.

I’ve never seen anyone wearing pj’s in a hotel restaurant or in a supermarket etc. Although we do have a family tradition of a pj Christmas competition - strictly at home 🎄🤶

The restaurant manager could ask them to leave and return when dressed properly. Plenty of hotels and restaurants have dress codes, it's easy to make it clear that slippers, dressing gowns etc are not acceptable in the restaurant.
I doubt you get people having breakfast in their pyjamas at the Ritz.
As others have said, if you want to have breakfast in your night clothes then have room service.

This is better than people who come into supermarkets having just cleaned out the horses stables.

But clearly it has enough silly people who think wearing pyjamas has a connection to passing fecal matter in public or being naked judging by some of the comments on here.

It's not that I wear pyjamas out myself, because as I said before, I don't. It's the foolishness of being so concerned by what other people are wearing when it does not impact on your personal life and values in any way that I find silly. And many agreeing with you simply indicates how rife the silly absorption with humans doing harmless things like wearing pyjamas is on this site.

A ridiculous and irrelevant post. Clearly the hotel which was an upmarket one has seen Brits coming down for breakfast in their underwear or jimjams and decided to ban it.

I wouldn't do it, I'd feel too self-conscious but I wouldn't be fussed if someone else did. Tbh I wouldn't mind being so zero f*cks given!

Yes exactly this, this isnt about the working classes, a lot of these observations are about people that dont work.

It's a bit like the families that send their children to school in nappies when they should have long been out of nappies. It's feckless behaviour that is excused. The same as the feckless behavior of grown adults wandering around in Asda midday in pj's or turning up for breakfast in pj's. Let alone the ones who are apparently going to the movies in pj's and a comfort blanket. F$ck off and grow up, FFS.

Oh that's a bit grim too, although at least you can smell the horse poop and avoid. But I'm not changing my opinion on the wearing of nightwear at the shops, it's lazy and gross 😷

You sound so unhinged cross about what other people chose to wear. Have a cup of chamomile tea.

Very soon you'll be busting a gasket! I bet you're brighter red than a turkey cock already 😅. And on a Friday evening too! Have a 🍺, get that stick out of your proverbial and let joy into your narrow little life.

Making judgements on other people based on such minimal and trivial information is the stuff of school playgrounds, so you’re in no position to call anyone else childish. You seems so very determined to convince everyone how superior you are because of your huge amounts of decorum and self respect as clearly demonstrated by your attire. It all seems very shallow to me.

Your constant anger will shorten your life.

I’d qualify that a bit - people who choose not to work.

Nah. This is all tied up with people who throw a rage on an Easyjet flight and those who are disrespectful to people in authority. Hence the signs up everywhere about abuse. This is just part of a downward trend in our society. I can go to breakfast dressed like a tramp because I can.

Yes good point that is true

Mine were fine in John Lewis thanks. I can recommend them after surgery - loose and comfortable
