Shopping in your p.j.s

Just goes to show its a preference and good luck to anyone who doesn't feel the need to kit themselves out everyday. Im so glad Im over 50 and really rather un-noticeable when going about my business, whether its "stinking" due to not showering every morning or not. Good on them I say. If i see a pyjama clad person in sainsburys in the future I'll have a titter at the storm they've caused due to other pinched clean freaks

Cant say it is something I have done before, usually too cold.

I once got out of the car at the supermarket and realised I was still wearing my slippers - that's the nearest I've got to it.

I didn't have a shower this morning although I did yesterday and I will have one tomorrow!
My hair is better if it is left for 3 days or so between washes.

But I don't wear my pjs all day either.

Ana that was funny ( complaint to Tesco) and I liked the bit that said 'Tesco does not have a formal dress code ' ....so it doesn't have to be black tie then?
I do wonder when it became no biggie to wander about in sleepwear though.

Tesco have changed their policy then:

I will let DH know that he doesn't have to put on a suit and tie any more before he goes to the local Tesco

what's the rule on going topless now?

Well Jalima the suit and shirt and tie are fine, but perhaps he could leave out the hat, gloves and silver topped cane.

And the tap dance down the aisles!

I went to see Top Hat last year, expecting too much now from DH!

I do have a pair of pyjamas in bright red fleece which makes them look like a leisure suit. I wear them over my nightie while I have breakfast. I suppose, at a pinch, I might put a coat on and go to the corner shop if there was something I needed urgently, but wouldn't make a habit of it.

Our town has a facebook page that posts photos of people in shops in their pjs and indeed any other unsuitable clothing. One photo yesterday showed washing on a line and it was disgusting, they even named the area where it was found

What was disgusting about the washing on a line?

Was it dirty washing being washed in public?

I hope it was hung out on a Monday ( or Tuesday at a pinch) any other day is simply infra dig

I saw a facebook page discussing this too dorset Are you in the WI?

My view is that it is a 'fashion' trend and really, in the great scheme of things not very important. I would not personally shop in PJs and dressing gown but they are not hurting anyone! The less 'air' they get the less it will be a clever thing to do!

I stood behind two sweaty women the other day in Waitrose in their gym / jogging clothes as they were queuing for a free coffee..that was not any better/worse imo.

It's been an eyeopener to me that a daily bath/shower isn't the norm I honestly thought it was. It always has been for me even when we had a tin bath behind the door, and later a bath behind a partition in the kitchen, filled to a depth of an inch from a tiny boiler. I don't think my skin has suffered in any way Perhaps a whole new thread?!

I can't function without shower and hair wash everyday my skin and hair are fine as well

And I'm sure I'd reek exude a faint aroma if I only showered every other day and lived in the same clothes for 48 hours. Yuck.

Daily bathing in temperate/cold climates is unnecessary! We are overly obsessed with cleanliness imo. Washing and bathing when dirty/sweaty is to be recommended but on an average quiet day ..no need!

Antiperspirants last up to 48hours so they say on the can....really who smells that fresh after 48hours of not even a cats lick and a promise.....

I know that there is no need, but my personal preference is to shower everyday otherwise I would just feel dirty and avoid contact with others

I don't do it as a need but I really enjoy a morning shower it wakes me up I have a sing song and I feel fresh and nice to start the day I don't feel dirty as such if I didn't just not fresh I would hate to not start the day that way

Think the FB thing smacks a bit of big brother but hey life is changing now.
Daily showers/baths are a personal preference not a necessity, some people would say it's not ecologically sound. There are arguments for and against but think we have been swayed by advertising etc. When I was a child a bath once a week was the norm.

On holiday in America it seems the done thing for whole families to turn up for breakfast in their PJs, some decent some def not, and it is spreading. Staying in a Mercure Hotel in Bristol last year a whole hen party came down in the morning dressed in their night attire, couldn't even be bothered to brush their hair. I say get room service or shop on line, I certainly don't want to see it.

I would never shop in pyjamas but I find it unnerving that people feel they can randomly take photographs of others when they are totally unaware and put them into social media sites also I find it more offensive in the summer months when men and women shop in skimpy shorts vests and very little else
