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 find dresses really uncomfortable even without having just undergone surgery.

Like you said, it's a personal choice. Not sure how it affects anyone else.

I'm still waiting for an answer to the question of how it affects someone else. Nobody since to want to tell me...

I don't.

Many people are the same. Physically I can't do buttons.

In addition I have psoriasis so I have to be careful with clothing for that too. Pyjamas are great for me.

In the 60s and 70s you never saw anyone out in PJs because people had standards and self respect.

A t shirt and joggers is as easy to put on as PJs. So I don't really understand why you'd go out in them. I have exactly zero tops with buttons to do up. They're either t-shirts, long sleeve tops, jumpers, hoodies or have zips.

It's a strange choice to deliberately wear bed clothes out and about.

The thing is though, others will consider it a strange choice to care what others are wearing, when it doesn’t affect you. Everyone is different.

Joggers and pj bottoms are usually made of different material. Maybe joggers irritate the skin condition the PP clearly stated they have?

I was using that as an example. Cotton pull on trousers and cotton tops are easy to come by.

It's is an odd choice to choose pyjamas over any other casual clothes that are as easy to wear.

Go out in your pajamas if you want. But it's is an odd choice.

I’ve never been out of the house in pyjamas. I just don’t care what other people wear. It doesn’t affect me.

Maybe it's a cost thing? PJs for bed and PJs for not irritating a skin condition have a duel purpose. Not everyone can afford an extensive wardrobe, particularly if they can't work/are limited in their earnings abilities.

As long as people are clean and comfortable, what's the problem?

I don’t really care if I’m honest but I just think it’s a bit attention seeking. If you were buying pjs to double up as daywear you’d get plain ones surely?

I just give people who are visibly eschewing social norms a wide berth.

I doubt those people would be too bothered about you giving them a wide berth, so I guess everyone’s happy! They can wear what they want, you don’t have to go near them.

I think 'social norms' should be challenged and admire those who buck trends and traditions. My mother was always going on about what was 'done' and 'not done', most of what she talked about was ridiculous.

I'm not mad about the idea of people going out and about in nightwear though - but have yet to see that except for putting bins out very early in the morning. It obviously isn't that widespread.

Why plain ones? Are all your day wear clothes plain? Mine aren't. But you wouldn't bat an eyelid if I was in a patterned pair of cotton trousers and a t-shirt?

I’ve seen it once, in Asda at the pharmacy late at night, and from what I could tell they’d come to pick up a prescription urgently. So it can’t be widespread in the 5 counties and 3 countries I’ve lived in as an adult.

People avoiding social norms? 😆 🤣 I've seen it all now. Let's all walk around like the Stepford Wives instead. You're not giving them a wide berth though are you. You're on here sharing your iritation at something that has bugger all to do with you.

1. I don't, but I understand it, I live most of my life in PJs.

2. You have obviously never has psoriasis.

3. You have no idea about disabilities

But hell, judge away from your point of superiority.

I didn't own any dresses and wasn't wasting money on something I wouldn't wear again. I also have fat thighs and would have needed chub rub shorts which would have irritated. And you're right, it's personal choice, personally I think wrap dresses are awful.

School run- at least they've got their kids to school and on time!
Tesco- I've seen a guy in swimming shorts in a supermarket. Small ones. Would much rather see pj's!

This is bare minimum you don’t deserve any kudos for getting your child to school.

We all pay taxes so all children have the opportunity to get an education. This also enables parents to work or get some time to do themselves or whatever they spend their day doing.

In some countries children - especially girls - don’t have that opportunity for an education . And a lot of parents really struggled with children at home during lockdown.

You should be grateful if anything, for being able to drop your kids off for 6 hours a day! not thinking you’ve achieved some great feat because you dropped off your kids in PJs.

Get changed, washed your face and do better. Raise your bar! Being slightly less worse than the strange guy in Tesco wearing swimming shorts is no flex either.

Oh my goodness you're reaching now aren't you.

Some children don't have access to education so make sure you're properly done up for the school run?

Get changed, washed your face and do better.

How on earth would anyone know if someone has washed their face or not? Mine looks no different before or after!

Just as some find pjs worn outside awful.

You appear to struggle reading, but I actually agreed it comes down to personal choice 🙄
