Going out in pyjamas

[Jolie12345]

I often do the school run or pop to the local shop in the evening in my pyjamas. And I wouldn’t be ashamed to turn up to a friends or families house without putting on proper clothes. I’ve always been more interested in being comfortable than looking my best. I work from home so even if I do get dressed I come back and put pjs back on. Is it just me? Do you judge people who step out in pj bottoms with trainers?

This. 😂

My kids are very well turned out. Have everything they could want. Love having friends over.

There is a difference between loungewear and actual PJs that you wear to sleep. I think wearing the same clothes outside and in bed is frankly disgusting, its like not changing your bedsheets for weeks/months. I feel sluggish and unmotivated if I don't change my pyjamas even if I stay at home all day.

Yes , everyone judges women who go out in pyjamas. People will be laughing at you , but it's a free world. If you're okay with it, carry on.

Except those of us that don’t I suppose 🤷‍♀️

I'm afraid I would assume you were rushed that morning or overslept. And that you hadn't brushed your teeth or showered.

It's the same as if I see someone wearing a sequinned boob tube I assume they're off to a disco 😂

I shouldn't assume. And I shouldn't judge. But it's just me 'saying what I see' as the catchphrase goes.

Yes I would judge you, I’d think you’re a lazy slob who hadn’t washed, else why else would you venture out in clothes you sleep in.

No one in Tescos wants to see me in just a short tshirt. (that being what I wear in bed if anything)

Going out in PJs looks lazy. And most of those I've seen in the shops look like they haven't washed yet this year and have greasy takeaways spilled down their frontage. As opposed to someone who may have been hard at work all day getting hot and sweaty, spilled their lunch and are picking up stuff for dinner before going home to get tidied up.

Yes absolutely I think it's hugely embarrassing and a bit weird. I just don't get why u can't just throw on a pair of leggings or similar that are also comfy.

I am very much a pyjamas person it's the things I wear most. Often change in to them after dinner or sometimes as soon as I'm home. I do not get the thing with wearing pjs out though. If someone turned up to my house in their pjs I'd be like wtf I'd be saying why have u got ur pjs on 😂

I think it's grim and would think you're a slob. If you can't even be bothered to get dressed what else can you be bothered to do, wash?

Yes they are nice aren't they and they are a slim fit round the calf

I do wear crocs and socks and Birkenstock's and socks on the school run

And ridiculous rainbow ugg sandals too

I wear loads of clothes that fit like the Boden pics, the fit is feminine and comfy and you're right a lot of tracksuits are bulky and leggings are too clingy.

If they aren't obviously pyjamas you're fine but wearing something that has sleeping cats on and a dressing gown is a bit embarrassing

Also I am guilty of falling Into the arrogant trap I think because I know I'm not a lay about or rough and I think it's fine for me to rock up to school with bizzarre shoes on or a long and mud covered coat. I never ever ever clean my brand new car or inside it and it's a tip
My hair is wild as well but I wear a full face of makeup.. I do think I get what you're saying about wearing PJs but for your sake and your kids sake just buy some delicate lounge wear.

I also bring hot water bottles to friends houses because I don't think they keep their houses warm enough etc. Wouldn't mind a friend coming to me in Pjs but I would be cringing if they went on the school run in them.

I think I know where you're coming from. In a cringed way I think you're saying you're kind of not a rough person you're quite well off and educated therefore it doesn't matter that you wear pyjamas because you're not a peasant. I don't know any other way of putting it. I'm so embarrassed even typing that 🤣

I think it would be a bit quiirky but ok.
In the '80's there was a bit of a fasion to wear pyjama tops to night clubs for the boys who we hung about with.

I always assume it’s an attention seeking thing if I see someone out in pyjamas- “oh, look at me, I’m far too cool/individual to conform to social norms like everyone else”. And then I feel a bit guilty because it occurs to me that they might be depressed. But if it’s a conscious choice, it just shows disrespect for others, I think - “I’m comfortable, so I don’t care if I make anyone else uncomfortable”.

You might not judge people on wearing pyjamas but you will judge people on other things that you find unacceptable, as a poster above said, we all make thousands of judgements every day, stop making out you are superior in not judging others, you do it all the time whether you acknowledge it or not.

The pyjamas I have are made of much flimsier material than other lounge wear and that's one thing that makes the difference for me.

I think I love you 😘 😂

Bit mad and unnecessary. Jogging bottoms or leggings even.

Oh I definitely do. But not based on appearance. I judge based on how people treat others.

I'm guessing you're replying to me

Go on get some more delicate loungewear and wash your car 🤣 have a bit more dignity girl 🤣

@cultkid I was indeed. My car is disgusting 😂And you totally hit the nail on the head with everything else!

@Jolie12345 I would probably stand beside you in the playground

Seriously though eye opening what everyone thinks isn't it? I only judge people in belly tops and their bums hanging out on the school run. Just awful!

Just about acceptable in a proper coat and proper shoes. It's the ones who go out in pyjamas , slippers and dressing gowns who need a talking to!! 🤣

Phew. At least I am just about acceptable to some 😊

I would like to point out that the loungewear bottoms I wear out and about in public are different to ones I sleep in. It might look to someone that I am 'in my nightwear' but I am not. They are just my clothes. I do agree the shorty pj/dressing gown/slippers look is just daft and not really suitable for our and about.
I actually have worn some t-shirts that are from the nightwear section as just regular t-shirts (with jeans) rather than sleep wear because I like the picture on them.

It doesn't matter OP, you're absolutely right. But that kind of out of the box thinking hurts people's brains. It's easier to just think in line with everyone else.

Objectively, it makes absolutely no difference. Clothes are to keep you covered, for decency and warmth. Whether those clothes come form the PJ section or not, clearly doesn't actually matter. It's a similar problem with gendered clothing. Or as a PP said the difference between wearing a bra and knickers on the beach v a bikini. There's no actual difference, but we've been so conditioned to believe that there is, that it matters, it's almost painful to think otherwise.
