I wouldn't goout dressed in my PJs

but is it really 'offensive' to other shoppers?

I give a little but it doesn't affect me in any way.

IU wonder if those velour lounge suits are classed as PJs?

naturally the daily mail use it as an opportunity to knock mumsnetters - AGAIN!

StealthPolarBear · 29/01/2010 15:43

don't judge until you've walked a mile in their pyjamas

Jules Jules I live in the NE and I have seen it many times. My sister does it regularly and has even nipped into work at midday with her PJ's on. She was on her way to my house for a shower and didn't want to 'dirty' her clean clothes by putting them on before she showered (the water at their house was off). But most of the other times she has done it, it's very late or very early and she is just popping out somewhere quickly. My mum is very emmbarrassed and refuses to leave the house with her. But she manages to put a coat and shoes/boots on and her pj's are usually the jogging bottom style ones anyway.

I have done it once, when I came home from work after a 12 hour shift, jumped into the shower, put on my pjs and sat down for a drink, before I realised I had ran out of cigarettes. I called a taxi to the nearest garage and went in my pj's, coat and trainers. I did not have the energy to get dressed and then come home to get undressed again straight away.

Like SGB I really don't care what other people wear, and often believe that those who do have the time/energy to care must lead very boring, uneventfull lives and need to get a hobby.

That was so funny when he asked her what time of the day it was that she was in Tesco. "About half ten/eleven, it was early in the morning like".
Early?

MrsFlittersnoop · 29/01/2010 16:13

But seriously, how on earth can you tell that they're wearing PJs as opposed to "leisure" or "sports" wear? Have a look at the Juicy Couture website - I can't tell the difference between their velour tracksuits and a pair of jim-jams. DS has thick warm PJs (cold house!) from M&S which are indistinguishable from a jogger/sweatshirt combo.

Must admit am bewildered by this thread. I have never ever ever seen anyone out and about wearing nightclothes, either in London or Bath - perhaps it's just too posh here?

DuelingFanjo · 29/01/2010 16:18

I likes the way they puts an 's' on the end of somes words, like. My Cardiff Accent makes one of my friend's dad laugh, if I ever see him we do this ting where I do Cardiff and he does Barry

My work mate is really upset by this story as she lives in St Mellons and is worried about them getting a bad name.

Pixel · 29/01/2010 16:19

I've only seen it once, I assumed they were on their way to some kind of fancy dress party.

MaureenMLove · 29/01/2010 16:28

I have it on very good authority (yr9's and 10's) only yesterday at school, that the fashion of going out in your pj's is over. It's not cool anymore!

LOL at the skanky woman in the article who couldn't get 'er fags!!

plumblossom · 29/01/2010 19:39

Any chance Boden will be doing a pair of school run PJs then?

scottishmummy · 29/01/2010 19:48

adult in pyjamas outside= skanky lazy boot.no excuses

often accessorised with a fag and croydon face life

PutYerClawsAway · 29/01/2010 20:20

Bare feet? No 'cos of health and safety. Jammies? What's the problem in the supermarket. FFS! It's not as if they're turning up at the Ritz. Why do so many of you care what they wear to the supermarket?

Btw. I am not a wearer of jammies to the supermarket but good luck to those who are.

I work in a job where I wear a suit every day and am vv conscious of the fact that "suits" get treated better than peole dressed v casually or studenty types. We're all the same under the drag you know!

scottishmummy · 29/01/2010 20:33

pj's outside is slovenly.no excuses

takes no much effort to pull on jeans & top and hell its a lot more easy on the eye

expatinscotland · 29/01/2010 20:38

'My sister does it regularly and has even nipped into work at midday with her PJ's on.'

Where does she work, a sauna or massage parlour?

onagar · 29/01/2010 20:43

I wouldn't go shopping without getting dressed, but I can't see why it's anyone else's business. Just because someone 'doesn't like it' isn't a good enough reason unless it harms others. Lots of things I don't like.

scottishmummy · 29/01/2010 20:44

maybe work requires erm quick access that only PJ allow

Frizbe · 29/01/2010 23:31

Really, cripes, I lived in flats over a tesco in my 'youth' over 1000 people did and we all went down in our jammies and slippers in the morning (ponders if this is the tesco that's being targeted)

scottishmummy · 29/01/2010 23:39

you dirty mare.cant put on jeans on?get a grip.going outside in pj is slovenly.might as well put a post it note on head saying im a lazy boot ho cant be arsed putting trousers on

PutYerClawsAway · 30/01/2010 00:24

Yawn...

usualsuspect · 30/01/2010 00:39

I don't mind slovenly ...half of MN say they can't be arsed to clean/cook blah blah blah

MrsSeanBean · 30/01/2010 00:47

Before DS, I would rarely leave the house without (minimnal) make-up, it was my ritual transition into 'ok to go outdoors' mode. I'd never think of going out in pjs.

However, I do think this new dress code of Tesco's is slightly illogical. I bet there are plenty of slobby people who sleep in so called 'day' clothes and just leave the house in them without showering or changing. It would be more effective to have some kind of sniff-test machine at the entrance, a kind of security barrier in reverse.

Oblomov · 30/01/2010 12:38

how are pj's offensive. i just don't get it. offensive in what way. the woman is question had no flesh showing. like others have said shorts, thongs showing with bra tops with boobs practiaclly jumping out - all totaLLY normal in hot summer in our local tesco's. surely more offensive ?
no flesh showing pj's ? how is that offensive ?

ZZZenAgain · 30/01/2010 12:47

have never seen anyone out and about in PJs.

Would never do it either

ZZZenAgain · 30/01/2010 12:49

unless maybe I was really sick or sxomething and threw a coat over the top and didn't get out of the car. Might do it then but otherwise no.

But then I have stretchy pull- on things not too different to PJs and if I wanted comfort, I'd wear those, jst not my actual PJs
