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.

I'm going to have one more beer and then parade naked up and down the road in front of OP's house. Just because.

I may wear a strand of pearls and kid gloves actually.

I'm not angry. Just a bit sarcastic.

You're a seething cauldron of futile rage, Madam. It will be your DOOM.

Bring it on. Though I doubt you will actually do it.

I'm beginning to think MatildaMovesMountains fancies me. I'm afraid I'm not available.

Won't I though - don't feel too sure. I'm buttoning on my boots as I type.

Quite the opposite, my dear. I never mock people I fancy.

Oh that’s nice to know I won't need any smelling salts.

How would you know if random lady wearing pj's in supermarket/school run doesn't work?
Not everyone works 9 to 5.
Are you suggesting that only the unemployed are slobby?
Edit, typo.

Anyone on this thread from The Underclass?

Just to clarify, that’s anyone who doesn’t work (presumably, in a paid job). Buy-to-let landlords. People who live off trust funds. Unpaid carers. Sold your business for a few mill? Footballers wives. Live off shareholdings? SAHMs. People with serious disabilities or illnesses. Recovering from a serious accident? State pensioners? Non-working Royals and Aristocracy?

Come on you Underclassers, you need to fess up. Do you ever walk the dog of a morning with an overcoat thrown over your PJs.

If so, you must be wrong in the heid. Or as us more awake types prefer to call it: mentally unwell. In fact, maybe that’s why you don’t work. Because you’re mentally unwell.

In any case, you’re disgusting slobs. The epitome of how Great British Standards of a twice-weekly bath are slipping. You should leap in the shower as soon as you’re out of bed, pop on a freshly ironed shirt before sitting down to breakfast (brioche if you can’t afford bread), then make your face up, pop on some diamonds and away you go to Asda/Harvey Nics etc.

Otherwise, the Spies will report you to the Ministry of Fashion.

Plain to see these people wandering around Asda, Lidle or whatever don't work. They're there in their pj's at noon in the supermarket. Sorry to sound "judgemental."

Agree. I’d add to that work attire. When I started in my career I actively (and successfully) fought against the rule that we had to wear suits (and ties for guys) in the workplace. Sure if there’s a client meeting or something, but on a cold rainy Friday when I’m doing admin? It’s desperately uncomfortable. And besides, a suit is not necessarily smart, people can look far better dressed in a nice jacket and jeans etc. than some ancient shiny black thing you picked up years ago from Next or somewhere awful.
BUT my goodness now. To be fair, I’m in a different sector, but since lockdown it’s as if not only style but common decency in dress has gone out the window. People turn up in shorts or tracky bums! I get odd looks if I have a nice pair of shoes or a blazer - oooh where are you going later.
What’s happened to pride in one’s appearance? Style is great fun we need to get it back!

With such poor grasp of spelling and grammar, presumably you don't work either, OP?

Heard of shift work, OP? Or annual leave?

What are you doing in Asda at noon anyway? Not working, I presume?

@MumbleBumbleAppleCrumble I agree that people have become very casual in the work place.
This thread as usual has turned it into a class marker, standards have slipped across the board.

Not necessarily lounge-wear, casual co-ords and pyjamas look similar.

It properly takes no effort at all to throw a floaty caftan over your pyjama shorts and bung on a massive pair of sunglasses to nip to the shop or school run or whatever. People are grim. If people can't be bothered to dress themself then I assume they're probably not washing properly either....

Haven't rtft cos CBA but from what I did read... If someone slept in say joggers and t-shirt then went straight out after getting up would anyone know?

Why do you begrudge people comfort and time?

Why are you there at noon?

The Ritz no (obviously 🙄), budget hotels I really wouldn't waste any of my precious holiday time judging. I don't do it myself and I do think it looks odd, but life's too short imo to waste mental bandwidth judging strangers' clothing choices.

Thank you so much ❤️
After a few hours of broken sleep, I picked his sister up from the train station and the three of us have spent the rest of the day trying to figure out what happens next and enjoying a few glasses of their father’s favourite wine! Lots of tears but also laughter.
Now we’re all sitting in our PJs waiting for our Domino’s to be delivered. I’m thinking I should change into my finery to answer the door, don’t want to delivery driver to think we’re chavs 😉

Point is, there'll be people in similar situations, who would still take time to get dressed.

Having other things on your mind doesn't automatically mean going around in pjs, otherwise most visitors in hospitals would also be in pjs.

It's a personal thing.

Personal choice, I've gone for dresses, especially wrap ones.

Ha, no, a most pertinent post indeed.😁

One which reveals you were completely unaware that pyjamas originated in India (a place you've doubtless never been) and that in England, they were originally regarded as posh evening wear by the jewellery and make-up set.
