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.

Glad we agree.

To be honest I'm slightly jealous of anyone who can wear a wrap dress as I feel in permanent danger of my boobs falling out!

Look, if you can get pyjamas made from materials that are ideal for psoriasis, you can get day clothes made of the same material... Pyjamas aren't made of magical materials only used for pyjamas and no other clothes.

If your disability allows you to put on pyjamas... it will allow you to put on day clothes of a similar style.

Pyjamas are often pull on elasticated waist trousers and some sort of shirt.... These are very available as day clothes.
So the "trump" of disability doesn't really win here.

So I still maintain, if you're able to put on clean pyjamas to go out, you're able to put on day clothes. And going out in pyjamas is an odd choice.

Because you can absolutely get fay clothes that are made from the same materials and are just as easy to put on.

It's odd to choose to go out in bed clothes.

But you're still having to pay for double the clothes....if it's a cost thing, that does not help.

Stop being judgemental and let people make their own choices for what works for them.

How does it affect you what @sashh wears?

I still maintain it's no one else's business.

It doesn't affect me.

It it is an odd choice.

I agree.

But it is an odd choice

How in earth is buying 2 pairs of pyjamas at £24 each some how cheaper than 1 pair of pyjamas at £24 and an day clothes outfit at £24... ?

Yes, using dodgy newspapers to try and back up your argument is definitely a bad habit. I think most people would agree with that.

How on earth is it any of your business?

Because you could buy 4 pairs of pjs for £96 and use them for both sleeping and day time. They wash you know. Wear them for whatever you need, whenever you need them, doesn't matter on the time of day or how you're feeling (too fatigued to pop a wash on one day maybe?).

Whereas having separate clothes for day and night means you need double the items. In case you're too unwell to do laundry.

You really don't understand some illnesses or disabilities.

@ButteredRadishes I have two pairs of very similar bottoms.
Elastic waist. Black with a white pattern. Loose cool material.
One pair came from the nightwear department of Primark, the other the trouser section of Peacocks.
They are virtually identical.
So by your thinking if I go out in one pair I'm fine, the other pair I'm a lazy grubby slob?
But which pair is which?
I actually can't remember 😂

You make no sense.

4 pairs of pyjamas are the same amount as 2 pairs of pyjamas and 2 sets of day clothes.

FFS does it matter?

I think the point is that you can use pyjamas as day clothes but you can’t use day clothes as pyjamas.

So you could get 4 sets of clothes that could be used for anything, or 2 sets that could be used for anything and 2 sets that can only be used for a more specific thing.

You say that as though it's perfectly acceptable to wear pyjamas out of the house...

When it clearly isn't.

I think if someone with disabilities is telling yo that that going out in their Pjs is what works for them to be able to get out and feel comfortable, then you damn well listen to them.
Them out in PJs has no impact on you.

Well, if they're going out in their PJs, presumably at some point they have changed into clean ones in the morning, and changing into non-outdoor PJs/others before going back to bed?
... So why the need to go OUT in PJ's in the first place? If they're changing into clean PJs to go out, they can surely change into clean day clothes of similar ease and comfort?

And has been explained to you, they find PJs particularly comfortable.
Again, what real impact does it have on you?

Oh so there's no fucking reason then...

They just want to wear pyjamas out and about.

They could wear day clothes, they just don't want to... So, again it remains an odd choice.

A disabled person has explained why they find PJs more comfortable to wear when out.
They didn't ask for your advice on how to buy day wear or whatever.
And again, how does it affect you?

But pyjamas are just clothes?

I wouldn’t go out wearing something I’ve worn to bed (and I don’t personally find pyjamas comfortable, so I’m not one of the people in supermarkets you’re complaining about as I don’t even own a pair), but why is it less acceptable to go out in (clean) pyjamas than in (clean) joggers and a T shirt? If clothes are clean and cover what needs to be covered, the rest is surely just marketing.

I loathe it in shops or on the school run (if you get out of your car...) but ... having thought about it...

I do myself often walk down the garden in my Pjs and out onto the back lane. It gives onto a field and a few other houses' drives give onto the same lane. It's not at all uncommon for me to see neighbours passing on the lane (dog walk, etc) while I've drifted down the garden to look into the field/take a photo of the sunrise/etc). So is that skanky? It really doesn't feel skanky (and my PJs are nice traditional button-up and not slovenly ones) but maybe my neighbours secretly think I'm letting the entire road down. I've been known to pop out of the front door to get a package/put something in the wheely bin in PJs too.

And camping, I just feel it's part of acceptable camping etiquette to wear your PJs out of the tent to the loos/shower block etc. And at festivals if going to the loo. Isn't it?
