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.

Tbf some clothes look like pjs to me but then I'm not in to fashion so what do I know. You can't compare the teacher to a parent taking their child in to school. The teacher is at work and I doubt the parent will go to his work in pjs.
Anyway it's not just pyjamas with you. You basically want to sterilise poor people in council housing since you said they shouldn't have children. I'm worried about your children tbh. I can just imagine the judgy, elitist crap you're feeding them. With your lack of empathy for fellow human beings who might have had different life experiences than yourself I wonder how suited you are to be a good role model to your children.

Is it? Or is it a hateful, goady attempt to draw out the 'urgh poor people are so scummy' posters?
Own your actions.

School run yes, not sure about shops, Im talking about all shops, its often a corner shop or a small item in a supermarket that I see people doing it, not the weekly food shop. Plenty of men doing that sort of shopping.

I live in the west of Ireland and it’s only female members of the travelling community that go out in public in their pyjamas.

That's fine but as a society we do need standards, are we supposed to excuse any and all slovenly, dirty or antisocial behaviour because the person might have mental health issues? No and nor should we.

Someone in PJs in public is not hurting anyone except the Hyacinth Bouquets.

A lot of men's casual clothes are not that distinguishable from what they might wear to sleep in. Jogging type/loose trousers, t shirt. Could easily have slept in it and gone to the shops in same, and in fact I've known several men do this. Women's nightwear and day clothing is just way more differentiated in style.

Why is class relevant here? Implies you expect what you seem to be disgusting behaviour from working class people.

Which is vile class prejudice, so I've reported your post.

I wouldn't call you a fascist, it's hardly a word to bandy around lightheartedly, is it?

But you are a bigot, judging from this post.

I don't care what other people choose to wear, myself, why would it bother me? If you don't like it, stop looking at them.

No I'm sorry. The pj's thing is something fairly recent and now I've seen on the thread the usual excuses for it. However, a middle class woman with a posh accent deciding to appear in the breakfast room of an Amsterdam hotel in her pj's is some kind of statement. Personally, I think it should be stamped out. The trouble is that middle class movements filter down to the working class in the wrong kind of ways. So this is obviously a movement led by the middle class.

That's how I feel but I must admit I've only heard of people out and about in pyjamas, never actually seen it.

Exactly.

What if the PJ wearer put on clean PJs that morning, but another parent was wearing the same clothes for the 5th day in a row.

Some people's head would explode trying to figure out who was more slovenly and worthy of judgement.

Was she British?

No need to get defensive, if you actually felt ok about this behaviour and what others thought of it you wouldn't be posting here. Ultimately do what you like.

I agree, I'm fairly chilled about what people wear in general and I certainly don't buy the idea that you need a full face of makeup, but I do think its naff when people go out expecting to interact with other people wearing PJs, slippers etc. Never seen it on the school run but I have seen it regularly at my local supermarkets and in hotels and it does give the impression that the culprits don't give a toss about themselves.

Don't get the indoor/outdoor clothes thing and I have never understood the idea that "outdoor" germs are worse than ones found in the house: this is nonsensical.

In my experience it's more the opposite. The middle class cool kids (of any age) want to adopt the trends, fashions and culture of the working class to seem edgy while still looking down at them. Your classism reeks.

I am sorry my PJ wearing hurts you so much.

It's hardly defensive to point out that some people are judgemental snobs with nothing better to do.

I work out after school drop off so I don’t shower and just chuck on leggings and a top, go home and shower then dress for the day. Pyjamas is a step too far but I don’t expect everyone to be dressed for the day at 8am?

I find it repulsive. How difficult is it even if you can't be bothered to have a shower or clean your teeth, to pull on a tracksuit or leggings and teashirt brush your hair and go round your face with a flannel.
It takes 5 minutes max.
I would judge anyone Tescos in PJs and I'd make it obvious.why would you even think that was OK.

I agree - it doesn't take long to have a quick wash and change of clothes. It the equivalent of walking in public naked.

Would you really wear slippers though outside and then wear them around the house? We can have different preferences on indoor and outdoor clothes, but it’s quite another thing to be traipsing the pavement like the poster said, with pyjamas and slippers touching dirty pavements then getting back in to bed.

It really isn't. It someone is wearing PJs, their privates are not on show. They are still dressed.

Some of us have basic human standards.

Oh love, you're going to have to break this down to back it up. In what way are pyjamas equal to nudity?

Why do I need make up for a school run, surely I want to teach my girls to be comfortable in their own skin
