Shopping in your p.j.s

PJs seem to be re-branded as 'leisure wear'. I asked DS why he was wearing PJs and he informed me that he was in leisure wear! I notice that a neighbour who works from home wears similar trousers so I suppose I shouldn't be thinking that he's still in his night wear.

It's a lazy look and I'd probably have given them a bit of a 'look' too, but I'd rather see someone in full night attire than the assortment of half-clad folk we get in the Tesco round here in the summer!

Lots of younger people don't see pyjamas as nightwear, more as leisure wear, so as such see nothing wrong with it. We saw a 30-something man in Tesco recently wearing what looked to us like pj bottoms. Wouldn't do it myself though.

I wouldn't do it myself and I'd probably do a quick second look, but it doesn't particularly bother me. In fact, if they were wearing pyjamas and dressing gowns they'd probably be wearing a lot more than quite a few of the shoppers I see in our local supermarket!

I don't understand the 'putting your face on' thing either. I do like some mascara but as for lippy and all the rest of it, it makes me think of the 1950s

Slightly of topic. We have D and her SO living with us temporarily. H gets really cross that the SO spends most of his life in PJ's and dressing gown. He only dresses to go out and puts PJ's back on when he returns.He has been known to go to Tesco in "leisure trousers" (PJ's to you and me) and a fleece.
His excuse is that due to his medical condition he's not comfortable in fixed waistbands. Get some bloody joggers then !!!

Isn't it a bit chilly shopping or leaving the house at all in night attire? No its not for me I like to be fully dressed i.e including underwear which I don't suppose they have on under their pjs, to leave the house and I don't particularly want anyone other than DH to see me in my nightie (don't wear PJs). we do change into something comfy after dinner especially in the winter when we are pretty sure no-one will come and we don't want to go anywhere.

paddyann I agree with you about not going shopping pjs but changing and doing your face to sit down to dinner indoors? really? That really is 'old school'
Charleygirl I'm with you I've run the bins down the drive in my dressing gown but only in the dark

annsixty that must have been a sight for sore eyes. I will only put the rubbish out in the bins in my night attire and only when it is dark.

In the report I read it was said that a Head Teacher had had to ask mums to get dressed before the school run as it was not unusual for a whole group to be standing chatting in dressing gowns at the school gate.

annsixty my local Waitrose need not worry, I will not be turning up there in my night attire. I only possess nightdresses anyway.

I dont understand why they need to shop in PJ's ,it takes minutes to get dressed.In fact I dont understand why mainly young people put on pyjamas the minute they get home from work either.I'm definately old school ,I still like to get changed and redo my face before I start on dinner ,that way if my OH suggests going out I'm ready to go and we do that a lot ,even if its just to a shopping mall for a look around the shops .My mother would have been horrified at women who went out in curlers too dorsetpennt

You would be OK Charleygirl Waitrose have said they are quite relaxed about it in their stores and there would be no problem.

I am also showing my age, definitely not. What else are they wearing? A coat or a dressing gown?!
