Shopping in your p.j.s

l have only see one once when we had a caravan on a lovely site.l was horrified,that was six years ago

Seeing the two ladies from the link shopping in Tesco's was not as bad as seeing a couple of oversized ladies sporting stretch leggings showing every lump and bump they had whilst in a local supermarket a while ago, at least those two ladies in Tesco's had what looked like decent figures.
As soon as I get in from work I change into my PJ's or onesie there is nothing better than getting nice and cosy these dark evenings after being at work all day.

Tanith.
Old school to smarten yourself up? ie wash your face? have a shower? or apply fresh makeup ? that is unless one has been sitting on one's backside all day doing nothing other than watching tv then I would say it is out of respect for the one you are going to share your meal with and not up to any one else to question it.
Like the pj's in Tesco.I view it as slovenly but what harm did it do to anyone.? Who am I to question the wearers reason for doing so.
If they went shopping 'starkers' is another matter.

I've seen people attired in a lot worse in our local supermarket so no, PJs don't bother me.

I saw the picture about Tesco, two girls in their PJs I commented on the article and was surprised how many people approved, I too must be showing my age, but I dont see why people are so lazy these days and cant be bothered to get dressed before going out I did suggest that we didnt see what time of day it was, and maybe they had run out of condoms!! I was cheecky but so were they!

I would never do it myself, however, it doesn't bother me what other people wear. I find it far worse when people walk past you and they stink.

I think there are worse things to go shopping in. I wouldn't complain - each to their own.

I agree it is inpleasant if people smell dirty but some people have medical condition that might cause odour,others may have housing /money difficulties that make it hard to wash clothes/self. Those not in difficult situations need to be wary of being too judgemental if unaware of facts.

It would be interesting to know why those who actually go shopping to the local supermarket in their PJs (as distinct from those who don't care about seeing them) don't get dressed at some point during the day.

Obviously what people wear and do in the privacy of their own homes is none of my business but I for one wouldn't want people dressed in nightwear during the day outside the home to become the norm.

The same applies to "loungewear" where it looks like nightwear.

Telling people to dress in day wear during the day seems perfectly reasonable.

Lazy, immodest and lacking in self pride.

I would not even walk down the garden path to put the rubbish out in my pyjamas, never mind go shopping etc.

We will be having dress laws at this rate!

My first thought was that many people who are depressed find it very difficult to get motivated to do things such as getting dressed and brushing their hair in the morning. While it is probably only a small minority of those out and about in PJs, it could be hard to know who is in this situation - but making comments, shaking our head or taking photos could make that person feel a lot worse.
I don't think taking photos and publishing them on FB or elsewhere is acceptable at all and would it extend to those in bikinis, low-slung jeans or any other style we personally found a bit odd/unattractive ....? There are many looks which some of us clearly find less appealing than PJs and dressing gowns.
On the other hand, taking the time to get dressed to go out as well as choosing the type of clothes we wear (eg colourful, smart etc)can have a positive effect on how we feel.
There is some interesting research on "enclothed cognition" relating to this.

I personally just don't care what I look like sometimes, and so what. Im neither depressed nor un-motivated. Im secure enough not to give a flying feck what others think. People should just get on with their own business and leave others to do what they want. If this was the case then the world would be a much better place. These photos and posts all over the place just go to show how ridiculously judgy/unfulfilled others are.

There was a phone in on my local radio station on this very subject yesterday. A driving instructor called and said it was not unusual to pick up young ladies early in the morning for a lesson who were still in their PJs. He said he had become quite used to it now. The one that did surprise him was the a very attractive pupil who slid into the driving seat sporting a very brief bikini. Poor chap said he didn't know where to look. ?

I bet he did know where to look! even if embarrassed.

Manners used to be about knowing which knife and fork to use....now it's about telling people that they should really get dressed before they go out the front door.

All these posts are about women though, aren't they?

I know young men don't wear striped pjs any more, but if they did, and wandered round Tesco in them, what would the reaction be?

What would a female driving instructor's reaction have been if one of her pupils had 'slid into the driving seat' wearing nothing but a pair of speedos?

My husband has a very expensive leisure suit (tracksuit of old) which he wears all the time. Our daughter and I think it looks like pyjamas but definitely not. i have managed to persuade him not to go out in it.

It was quite cold yesterday but up at the cathedral there was a man in a vest,and trackiebums wandering about . I did wonder if he thought there was a clothing bank up there as he was quite grubby( I didn't stare but did a double take as I wondered if he should be offered something warm) here did look inappropriate for the time of the year.
On a personal level I wouldn't dream of wearing my gorgeous silk velvet dressing gown with brocade collar and cuffs and my silk night dress in Tescos ,Waitrose or Harrods! I save them for the perfumed boudoir. Distinctly more prosaic clothes shopping in Tesco.

If i were that female driving instructor it would make my day!

Yes, but a male instructor isn't allowed to say that about a semi-clad young woman these days...double standards.

I think it was men wandering around Aldi topless Ana - at least I am presuming so

I am quite surprised by how horrified I am about this. I must be turning into a really miserable judgemental old git.

I can't help feeling this is the slippery slope to being a slob.

If you have to go out to work you get dressed at least appropriately, going to do your shopping is the same.
I might on an odd occasion wear my PJs under trousers but its just a big NO from me.

It appears to me to show a total lack of self esteem and I worry that it does somehow make people feel that they need not bother about anything like work, or organising the home, or the children etc.
I do wonder about the demographics of the supermarket PJ shoppers.
Now I need to calm down over this there are far worse things in this world.
