How long do you stay in your PJs?

Maybe the only joy of not working full time, is looking out of the window at rain pouring down, and knowing I don’t have to go out in it.
I live with a fluctuating health condition plus Long C****, so sometimes don’t get dressed at home until lunchtime.

Ducks.

This is exactly my routine but sadly only one or two days a week! Other times DH and myself often have to be out and about doing ‘stuff’! A term my teenage GKids seem to use when I ask them what they have been doing! As my DH says, we are now spending our retirement getting parts of us mended or glued back together again! You repair one part and another bit ‘breaks off’!

Lol unfortunately only time I wear pjs is if I’m sleeping at my sons house because grandkids get excited and come climb into bed with me or in hospital. If I go in my sleep and someone finds me I will no longer be here to care if see my naked body lol

I'm usually up, washed and dressed by 7.30/8am and then take the dog out for her long morning walk. In the winter when it's lashing with rain and freezing and the dog won't go out it's a different matter. I'm sometimes in my PJs until I've had breakfast and tidied up the house as they are so much warmer and more comfortable than my jeans. My friend bought me a fleece lined poncho that goes down to my knees and it's so thick and warm, I hate having to get out of it when it's cold.

It depends what's on the day's agenda. Sometimes I get up early & get dressed immediately - on GS duty days for example when he arrives at 8 or on yoga days when I have to get to a 9 o clock class. On other days, I can still be in PJs at 11 or later if I've got to go out in decent clothes - no point in putting "pottering about" clothes on first then changing later. Anyway, we live down a very long track & have no neighbours so it really doesn't matter one jot what I wear when!

No, I’m not like you Bossyrossy each to their own I’m up at 7am , I couldn’t wear pjs once I’m up to start the day, only way that happens if I’m not well,.

I don't wear PJs as such. In summer I'm in a long cotton wrapover embroidered dressing gown with a t-shirt underneath. Winter either velour trousers and top or a long sleeve fleece dressing gown with long sleeve cotton t-shirt underneath.
Rarely get dressed before noon or 1pm unless I'm going somewhere. But then I don't get up before 9 or 10 and dont usually sleep before 2am. Shower late afternoon or evening. Different body clock than most people

I’m not sure if work would appreciate me in my pjs

When I worked from home, I was in my pj's, a fleece jumper and my slippers! Who would know? Or care? Even zoom meetings were only from the shoulders up so it didn't matter!

Funnily enough, this has just popped up on my email feed as I am contemplating getting dressed. It's 11.30 am on Friday. This is fairly normal for me. I have been up and out of bed since 9 am. (I very rarely leave my bed before 9 am.) I like to wander around, have a coffee, load the washing machine, read the news, etc, before I get dressed. I don't work, so have no need to rush out of the house. I love my PJs, and have many, many pairs. I like proper, old school ones, with collar, buttons and piping around the edges.

I'm neither dirty or slovenly, and don't suffer from lack of self care, low self-esteem or self-respect, but I sometimes wear my pyjamas all day if I am in my own house, going nowhere and expecting no callers. They are comfortable, I will be washing them after 24 hours, it means my other clothes don't need to be washed, and (for me, personally) self-respect is gained from how I treat others, not superficial things like clothing.

spot on !!

I like to be dressed by 10 even if it's just joggers and an old t shirt. Staying in pyjamas just feels all wrong.
A lot of hospitals have notices encouraging patients who are well enough to do so to get dressed and not be in pj's all day.

The hospital I was in for nearly 4 months encouraged this.

Whilst it's a good idea and I can see the reasoning behind it, I found it hard to make the nurses who were cheerily encouraging me to 'get dressed' understand that I had no-one at home to wash the frequently blood-stained clothing - my partner is disabled and can barely look after himself.

As I had a room to myself, I sometimes washed a stained item in the hand basin and hung it on the towel rail to dry. Not ideal.

I noticed that some patient's PJs looked more like casual wear than pyjamas... I own a couple of pairs, one with a navy top sporting a nautical logo and striped bottoms, that could quite easily be worn on the deck of a boat and no-one would be any the wiser. And I have answered the door whilst wearing them.

I tested positive for covid two days ago,i haven`t got the energy to un-dress and re-dress.
When well i never stay in bedclothes.

I sometimes go to bed in my clothes, just in case someone knocks in the night and realises I wear pyjamas.

... you're cracking me up "MissAdventure* with your comments!

That barely heard, little voice of dry humour in the room of serious people making serious observations.

I wonder if its very nylon feeling though?

More kaftanesque, yes very clever !

This could be nice in warmer weather but too chilly on normal/ colder days. The slenderella one is more in line with what I thought I was looking for. The sweatshirt one looks far too cosy for me to get any work done while wearing it but looks brilliant for a day on the sofa!

I'm with you doodledog. I dress as and when needed for whatever I'm doing that day. My exception is that I'm a nighty person not pjs.

I am retired,I sleep in a nightie.I get up around 11am,I am a night owl so always gone 3am before I sleep.

I lounge about until about 12 then shower dress and walk my dog.I swim a mile every evening so have another shower then and wash my hair.

Couldn’t care less what others think.But even if I am ill I always shower daily and get dressed,never stay in nightwear all day.

I,was,thinking about an,oversized sweatshirt type thing, then I saw what,it, looks like on model shapes,,and,imagined me inside it.

Sorry for commas.

I’m retired and live alone and I enjoy doing whatever pleases me on a daily basis. That means some days I putter around in my PJ’s fora few hours (I usually wake up around 9:30) and other days I get up and dressed first thing. There is no right and wrong, in my opinion!

Slenderella is the name of this one.

Oh my eyes just focused a bit better, and the first one looks quite nice now.

The first one looks a bit like the one I wear, which belonged to my mum.
Half Demis Roussos, half sofa.
I like the look of the second one more, too.
I'm off to check out amazon.

I prefer the style of this but the fabric looks too much like a bathrobe to me. I'm def going to explore this further.
