Make pyjamas acceptable in supermarkets on Sunday mornings

[BoxingHare]

It's Sunday morning. I'm jimjammed up. Warm and cosy.

But on the spur of the moment I want eggs and bacon for brekkie so need to go to the nearby supermarket.

AIBU to think that, whilst nightwear in supermarkets is an abomination at all other times, on a Sunday morning, cut off time 12pm (so only a 2-3hr window) it could be socially acceptable for people who also wake up on a Sunday morning and randomly decide they want something a bit more exciting than their usual fare to go to the shops* without having to get fully dressed? Or is it a slippery slope?

*food only, I'm not suggesting full scale wandering about town!

Surely you lose that cosy comfortable feeling as soon as you step outside the house into the fresh air, see people, cars and buildings.
Your pj bottoms cannot fight this.

I love how now leggings are slovenly too 🤣

I am no pearl clutcher, but just no. Its absolutly slovenly.

If you're putting them on top of the PJs then, yes, maybe.
In the winter, just putting my big winter shoes takes at least 2 minutes, the ones I need with snow and ice.

I went out yesterday and I'm sure it was 10 minutes to gather all the different layers I needed and put them on.

Do you have dogs? I know it's not relevant to the thread, but I'm just curious as a couple of dog owning friends of mine say their dogs need to be walked so early that they just get out of bed, fling on sweats, brush their teeth/hair and leave the shower/getting dressed 'properly' till they get back. Don't know how widespread this is among dog owners, but I have to say I'd do the same if I had a dog. Let the walk wake me up and then I'd feel up to tackling the shower.

OP, personally I think it's fine to do the above for a quick supermarket run though, especially if you're just talking about the corner shop or somewhere like Sainsbury's Local.

Nope. If it's unacceptable the rest of the time, it is unacceptable when you want to do it .

Amazing though they are, I think even my jammie bottoms are not that powerful.

Either get dressed or get it delivered?? Can still stay in PJ's then 🙃 don't ask me how I know Lol

Just your lower half and not your upper half? So you're leaving the house with a full face of makeup and sweaty pits?

(Not meaning to be goady, I'm sure that's not the case but it was what jumped out at me...)

How hard is it to change to proper trousers at least and chuck a coat over your pyjama top?!
(I did this many times when I had a newborn and DD to get to preschool!)

Why are grown adults still in their pyjamas unless Ill at 11.30am? Odd

Meant to say, though - OP, Deliveroo's your friend here (or Whoosh or Uber Eats, as pps have mentioned), unless you live in a far-flung corner of the Outer Hebrides or something (in which case I'd argue that PJs at the shops would be a lot less important 😃)

Just get organised and stop being lazy!

Why do you care what a bunch of randoms think? You are never going to meet these people again in your life so why place value on their opinion? So long as you are decently covered and the pjs are not skimpy or see through I can see no problem. Just throw on a long coat and the chances are no one will even notice.

One time I opened the door to a courier wearing a kaftan which is my usual leasure wear, He grinned and said "Sorry I got you out of bed" "This is a kaftan not a nightie. Ive been up since 8am sonny" I told him in a terse voice. He looked very sheepish.

He looked very sheepish

As he should!

i am still in pjs

over Xmas and at weekends I stay in pjs until I want to go out. It’s one of the best bits of the holiday , so Cosy and comforting I think it’s also pretty standard thing to do

I don’t think the queen ever did it but I do

Just change your bottoms and wear a coat. We don’t want to go out seeing lazy ppl dressed in pjs

You seem to want to set things to suit you, specific times, when in reality it's easy enough to slip something on, even over your pyjamas, to go to the shops or, better still, make sure you have basic stuff like bacon and eggs in, bought earlier in the week.

This is what corner shops* are for. I live in a university city and it's not that unusual to see someone nipping out for the makings of breakfast less than fully attired. The footwear or bed hair is often the giveaway. Makes me nostalgic!

*In a pinch the small neighbourhood supermarkets can be counted as corner shops.

Fine, you can have that window.

In return I want 6.5 days a week proper enforced dress code applied in supermarkets. We’re talking Paris fashion week or ladies’ day level dress up. Skirts, heels, blazers, feathers, cashmere, silk. Fascinators.

Express and convenience stores can be exempt.

It is fine. So many people do it. Who cares if a few people silently seethe.

Do you live in Catford? It was a trend round that way, not just on weekends either.

I have worn my pjamas when popping to the shop on occasion ama 🤣

Done!

Double breasted suits, and suitable hats for the men, too.

Or, you have other sensitivities around clothing. It doesn’t matter what size of jeans I wear, they are uncomfortable. This has been the case as far back as I can remember, no matter what the shape of my body or the style of jeans.
