Going out shopping supermarket in nightwear

It also suggests that they haven't got a job to go to. Most people who work, whatever their hours tend to get dressed and stay dressed for most of the day.

DD used to work shifts from home and while when on a very early morning shift, she would start work in pyjamas, as soon as her 'lunch' break came, say at 10,00 am, she would go and shower and change out of the clothes she had slept in, into clean casual day wear, even when she was house bound all day.

Even on her days off?

I'm constantly looking for smart clothes that feel as comfy as pyjamas. I really wish women would do away with bras on mass so I wouldn't have to wear it anymore

My young people seem to shower and change into lounge wear (which look a bit like pyjamas) when they get in from work and settle down for the evening. I am sure they wouldn’t go out like that though - I think a lot of it is about having clean indoor only clothes on the sofas and beds. I think it’s nice - but not to be out and about wearing them of course. Old fashioned nighties like I used to wear, couldn’t be worn all evening like this.

Some people seem to be very attached to their pyjamas.
Almost like a comfort thing?

I wouldn't go out in my pyjamas, but my red plaid pj trousers with matching red fleece would probably pass muster as day wear. On the other hand, some of the summer trousers in bright cotton material I've seen in recent years look just like pjs to me.

I'd often dress my grandsons in something that turned out to be pyjamas when they were younger.

MissAdventure, yes, she would always dress, even on her days off.

She now has a 9 - 5 job in an office, but over Christmas, she relapsed to her preferred mode of extreme owl. To bed between 2.00 and 3.00 in the morning, up at 11.00am, but always dressed for lunch, however casually.

I can’t say I’ve seen it around here, but when I was teaching, there were a few mums who wore pyjamas to bring their children to school, and one mum who picked her child up in the afternoon, still wearing her pyjamas.

I wouldn’t go out in pyjamas though, I’d feel all wrong.

At a hotel we stayed at recently there was a girl (20's) standing in the breakfast buffet queue wearing the complimentary dressing gown and slippers!

What! Going out in your pyjamas!
I very, very rarely go downstairs without getting dressed and putting my earrings in.
I never ever eat breakfast in my night he and dressing gown.

None of my family own any pyjamas. Except perhaps the little ones. Since they were about 12, all my DS have just worn an old tee shirt to bed. DH was stumped when he had to go into hospital a few months ago. In the end he took a track suit.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone here shopping in nightwear but I remember when on holiday as a child and teenager, seeing people in stores and shops, in bathing suits!

I thought that very odd.

The last time I went to the doctor's there was a woman there in her slippers! I think it's a disgraceful lack of self-respect! Who, on earth, would go to visit their doctor in their slippers?

My daughter tells me that there are some mums dropping their children off at school in their dressing gowns - getting out of the car to queue with their kids - so they're in full view of everybody.

Yes, yes, there will be some on here who say, 'What business is this of yours?'

Well, it is my business, if I see something that lowers the standards of respectibility. And I think this does just that!

Even if I am having a sleepy day in leggings and a top, I ALWAYS put my outside clothes on to leave the house, even if it’s only to the corner shop.

People over 50 usually are dressed properly at the local Tesco’s but others I have seen wearing furry slippers with clothes or pj’s, rollers in, pjs and tracky top, and even shorts pjs with slippers.

With furry slippers, what happens if it rains and your car is on the other side of the car park?

Ps some hair rollers straighten hair.?

Who on earth would go to visit their doctor in their slippers?

Someone who finds it far too painfull to force them into shoes?

Re wearing rollers outside we saw a group of girls in Nando’s all wearing large rollers in their hair. DD who knows about such things told me it is to imply that they are going to some amazing event later and was started by some celeb pictured in a celeb magazine. ?

There used to be a FB page dedicated to PJ wearing people in our town. They used to urge people to submit their photographs. It was really eye opening.
I have seen whole families eating in McDs at lunchtime in novelty PJs and fluffy slippers and leaving the venue in a taxi. Week before Christmas saw a woman in PJs, dressing gown and fluffy slippers doing a big shop in Asda. I would never leave the house in nightwear but have been known to wear track suit trousers and trainers.

Lipstick on here just to answer the phone !

I could no more go out half-dressed than fly in the air, it's not me.

Since the day that my dad accidentally trod in some "dog doo" on his shoes, up the stairs and into the bedroom (yuck!) my Mum insisted on us removing shoes as soon as we came in and then slippers on inside the house. And surely nightwear is what you sleep in so needs to be kept clean from outside pollutants also? Just basic good hygiene.

I know that as students, a dd and her housemates weren’t above nipping to the nearby corner shop or petrol station in their pyjamas - probably for beer, fags, Pot Noodles, etc!
But that was a long time ago now and I’m sure she (and they) wouldn’t dream of it now.

Slippers I can understand, after all some people have swollen or tender feet and cannot get into a pair of shoes. My mother was one of those who couldn't wear shoes easily when she grew old.

Nightwear in the shops? This is still not done in Denmark, but in the summer we do get people shopping without a shirt on, if male, or in very sketchy attire if female.

wonderful.... wonderful thread..

my eldest gs , gf, early 20`s won`t be seen with her false eyelashes...

I was going to say something else, but I have forgotten, smiling at these posts.. at least I am dressed now!

I have seen people in nightwear, even men in onesies when they were popular, on so many occasions and is so many places.

But a just before Christmas I saw a couple walking their dog along a main road at night, it was very cold and wet, he was in a big coat, woolly hat gloves the lot.

She was in pj's, dressing gown and fluffy slippers.

Oh well each to their own.
