I had to laugh lady shopping in well known supermarket this morning in pjs slippers n dressing gown, oh how times have changed, I’ve seen a few now, not in full attire generally pjs and coat over, I’m not judging each to their own, at least was dressed,I did think of those of us that feel naked if we haven’t got our mascara on to open the door,

I hardly recognised my dil at Christmas with her clothes on she usually has pyjamas on every time we go. She says she likes to be comfortable but I still find it funny. Even the kids are bathed and washed at 4pm on. A Sunday!

grin MissA - that conjures up a wonderful picture.
'Hand over yer purse or I'll put the bunny slipper in'.

I'll say one thing; it's hard to feel threatened when meeting a group of people who are wearing JimJams with fluffy bunny slippers.

NotTooOld Wed 01-Jan-20 17:15:10

I agree, MissA, so long as the 'leisure wear' and the person wearing it is clean then what's the difference really? I often feel glad (usually when donning leggings) that women today can wear comfortable clothes and no longer have to dress in boned bra, corset and suspenders like my poor mum!

MissAdventure Wed 01-Jan-20 17:09:44

I'm kind of on the fence about it.
My first reaction is that its "not nice" but part of me thinks it really shouldn't matter too much.

I wouldn't do it either. I think it's an age thing. Plus, I'd get arrested if I went to Sainsbury's in my nightwear! They're not that all encompassing.

WishIwasyounger Wed 01-Jan-20 17:06:37

Are they wearing PJ's or 'lounge wear'?

Urmstongran Wed 01-Jan-20 16:35:29

Yes MissA I’ve seen the girls wearing fluffy slipper shoes at the airport!

Sara65 Wed 01-Jan-20 16:29:12

It’s not just the fact that they’re wearing their pyjamas all day, you have to assume they haven’t washed or showered either, not for me I’m afraid.

Well it's sometimes difficult to tell the difference between tracksuits and pyjamas as some are identical. The slippers and dressing gown would be a giveaway though.
I couldn't imagine in my wildest dreams going out in my nightclothes! In fact I have had one or two nightmares where that has happened and then wake up worrying.

I would never dream of it, but each to their own.

MissAdventure Wed 01-Jan-20 15:22:20

Do other places have the shoes which are made to look like slippers?
Often with a big fluffy bit across the toes.

GagaJo Wed 01-Jan-20 15:19:40

Daughter will go to the local Sainsbury's in PJ bottoms. But they're leisure wear rather than proper PJs

ineedamum Wed 01-Jan-20 15:15:19

Yes, some people wear rollers where I live.
A colleague once arrived in work wearing rollers!

Urmstongran Wed 01-Jan-20 15:02:45

Our pyjama wearers by day turn into what look like pole dancers at night that was SO witty MissA!
?

Never seen it happen round here but I’ve seen photos in the papers. Leisure-wear in extreme!

Nortsat46 Wed 01-Jan-20 14:40:03

The v nice young woman who visits my house, to cut my hair, tells me that some of her clients don’t bother changing out of their pjs, when she goes to their homes to do their hair ... even for afternoon appointments.

I can’t imagine having my hair done wearing my nightie ...

MissAdventure Wed 01-Jan-20 14:23:18

They probably spend two hours with their hair straighteners when they get home, lemon. grin

GrannyGravy13 Wed 01-Jan-20 14:21:28

I did on several occasions put a coat and boots on over nightwear to do the school run, didn’t get out of the car though.

Summerlove Wed 01-Jan-20 14:15:36

Another indication of how pride and self-respect seem to be in decline.

Or, perhaps, women have just stopped dressing to please men?

lemongrove Wed 01-Jan-20 14:12:30

I first heard of the shopping/school run in pj’s thing about five years ago, but have never seen it in action.?

A fashion trend? Bone idleness?

lemongrove Wed 01-Jan-20 14:10:20

Really MissA ?
I thought rollers bit the dust about 40 years ago.The very flat straight haired look seems to be the thing.

MissAdventure Wed 01-Jan-20 13:57:59

We have girls out and about in their rollers, here, and I think most of them look really lovely, with their bright headscarves and lippy, and matching rollers. smile

Charleygirl5 Wed 01-Jan-20 13:50:54

I have never seen it around here, thank goodness.

lavenderzen Wed 01-Jan-20 13:48:50

It probably does happen in my supermarket, but I am usually so mixed up trying to find where things are because they regularly change it all round, I have probably never noticed. My homage to this is that now instead of changing into my "going out" clothes before shopping, which I have done for as long as I remember, I now go out in track suit bottoms and a sweatshirt, what a rebel!
