Shopping in your p.j.s

please don't ask me who they are!

At one time Tesco in Cardiff banned people from shopping in their pyjamas and a headmistress last year asked parents not to take children to school in pjs.

I suppose someone could now say that they are not the pyjamas they wear for bed - they are the height of fashion like the celebs:

dorsetpennt Yes you were being judgemental and whats wrong with that ? we all judge other people by their behaviour, thats human nature, we judge people, situations and places thats how we have got to where we are as a species.
Anyone who says they never judge other people are lying to themselves, what they mean is they dont voice their judgements so they can be seen as superior and worthy.
Since it became unfashionable to judge the morals of this country have gone to hell in a hand cart. Yes i believe its up to the individual to live their life as they see fit but dont expect everyone else to like your choice or to have the same view. I normally find the most judgemental are the ones with "only god can judge me" tattoos.

Strikes me as very unhygenic. Are these women just getting out of bed, staying in the same pyjamas all day going to bed and not changing and presumably doing the same again, yuk! Are they washing their faces and teeth and brushing their hair or are they all towsled? Pyjamas and halitosis?

I presume they have the 'luxury' of not needing to work. If you have a job to go to you are up and dressed and ready to go, whatever your hours are.

My views are quite unequivocal, wearing your pyjamas out of the house because you cannot be bothered to dress is slovenly and I would not want to employ anyone who took not caring that far.

If these clothes are just elasticated waistband trousers and a teeshirt then Ok but I thought the point of real night clothes was that you got into a clean bed with clean clothes on.

Not clothes you've been shopping in.

Jeans on over underpants they've slept in all night?

I would like to add I don't actually wear my pjs in bed just for lounging around . Seriously Beammeupscottie you put make up on and dress up to take the bins out? You must live in a very posh area.

None of my family own - or wear - pyjamas. If anything, tee shirt and underpants for bed. If the boys pull a pair of jeans over that, hey presto, they're dressed. Anyway, it's not a thing in Germany at all - I haven't heard anyone complain about it here.

I put my face on and dress nicely to put out the bins! But, nightwear as we know it (jams and nighties) are going out of fashion to be replaced by lounge-wear you can sleep in. I don't wear nighties or pj's. I wear old leggings and t-shirts as I find them more comfortable. My dressing gown is a fleece kaftan I have worn for 5 years. All these worn indoors and out of public sight.

If you haven't heard of many of them, don't worry.
Neither have I.

I thought it was Mr Punch (or one of the Punch and Judy ensemble)

Apparently pyjamas are quite a fashionable attire amongst slebs but I wouldn't go out in mine!

I just think they are ridiculous

Some of my pyjamas are just old clothes Stick some shoes on and a jumper and no-one would know I wasn't fully dressed. That's the way to do it (who said that?). Sooty?

Actually, that's a point! If grannies suddenly started going shopping in their night attire people would think they'd got dementia...

At the very least, they'd probably think it was 'disgusting' that old women were allowed in supermarkets dressed like that. Ageism!

No way would I shop in my Jammies or nightdresses , with Tigger, Piglet and Poo across the front !

Mixed feelings about this one, certainly feel as rosesarered does that it is a lazy, slovenly look. But having said that the two women pictured were certainly more covered up than some women in day clothes.
I do agree with the head teacher who banned night attire from the school gates saying it set a bad example to the children. If you are lazy about dressing then it follows you will be lazy about other things. ( ducks behind sofa )

It's certainly an idle/lazy / slovenly look, and says that the wearer has only reluctantly got out of bed. I have never come across this myself , but it has been reported and several forum members here have seen it, so it obviously goes on.
Presumably for some people the shell suit has been taken over by pj's.
I recommend that we all give them a dirty look and tut loudly.

I don't understand why women would want to admit to anyone that they wear PJs which look very much like thick school track suits. Not very romantic.

I've never actually seen it myself.

Not me either, I feel dirty if I have not had a shower and got dressed into clean clothes. My partner from the West Indies thinks its disgusting, and when I was in Jamaica I never saw anything like that in fact DP said it would be a disgrace and frowned apon. A disgusting last way to dress and if they are round the school doing it, not a good example to children.

A while ago I saw a whole family in Lidl choosing their breakfast from the bakery section. They were all in pyjamas, slippers and no dressing gowns. Nobody gave them a second glance (except me!)
I always bath and dress first thing and don't get ready for bed until sleep time. All 6 DGCs tend to be very late getting dressed in the school holidays, but don't think they would go out in PJs.

No, not for me either. Anyway, I prefer to wear clothes that haven't got toast crumbs or dribbles of porridge down the front when I nip down to the Spar shop.

Although I had heard about this I had never seen this until about a week ago when, shopping in Morrisons was a young woman pushing her trolley round in what looked to be a pink fluffy onesie with large white polka dots. She had a short jacket over it and ugg boots. No-one seemed to think it merited a second look except me! I'm not sure whether onesies count as night attire but it seemed very inappropriate all the same. I'm grateful that it is not something either of mine would consider doing. My PJs never go on before I'm ready to hit the sack - old school, me.

I must be really old-fashioned as I wouldn't be seen dead in my PJs ... I'm mortified if I have to answer the door to the postman in my dressing gown ! On the 'other side'(MN), there was a discussion about entertaining in PJs. Apparently someone had been invited over for Christmas drinks and the hosts were thus attired. The OP was a bit taken back and wondered if they had got the right evening, but nibbles, drinks etc were out, so ....
There then followed a long discussion between posters, most of whom thought it was OK and cheerfully admitted to spending whole days in PJs. Do they wash/ shower and put PJs back on ?
For what it's worth, I would have been embarrassed to be photographed in a supermarket in my nightwear, but incandescent about being photographed from the rear .

No no no and I m a very modern minded person slopy, mucky , lazy you need a shower or wash, clean your teeth and change of clothes before going anywhere

Shopping in your nightwear is not an unusual sight whilst shopping in Walmart in the US. I'm sorry to hear it has crossed the Atlantic. I'm another one who can't bear to sit around in night attire, I just don't feel right.
