How long do you stay in your PJs?

Depends on what I’m doing. I don’t mind admitting that there are times when I’ve looked at the clock - still in pyjamas and dressing gown - and thought, ‘Shit, it’s ten to eleven! What
if someone comes to the door?’
Until then I’ll have been reading the paper, doing all the word puzzles, and checking emails, etc.

Unless I’m really ill I’d never be in them all day though, but then none of mine are remotely beautiful, and now and then I’ve been known to substitute a pair of the thermal long johns dh wears about once in ten years, and one of the cotton vests he hardly ever wears either.
Very comfortable they are, too.

As it is, I've worked 7 days a week for over a year now. The very opposite of lazy.

All in the eye of the beholder.

I am definitely not slovenly, I shower and get dressed before breakfast. I have my standards and self-respect, will not be falling down the pit

Whereas I'm happy to wallow. Really couldn't give a monkeys about anyone else's judgement.

I'd roll around on the bed, tea, toast and a book until 11ish. Then move downstairs onto the sofa, still in whatever I'd slept in. If I'd slept in nothing, I'd put on something loose and comfy. All without washing. Although I'd have to clean my teeth. Hate having rough teeth.

I do wonder about those that feel uncivilised just by dint of wearing PJs all day.

It was me who first mentioned slovenly, I think.
I thought I'd get in first and save people the bother.

No, the OP used the word ‘slovenly’ in her final sentence.

Whilst wearing my pj's today I: stripped the bed, bunged a load of washing in the machine, vacuumed the whole house, brought the bins back into the back garden, pegged the washing out, stripped the blackcurrant bushes, made 5 jars of jam, filled the dishwasher and then went for a shower and got dressed. The only point where I worried about my mental health and personal standards was whilst I was stirring a boiling pan of blackcurrant jam in a heatwave.

How long do I stay in my pj's? As long as I want to! If I've got people to see/places to go, I'll get dressed soon as I'm up; otherwise it's whenever I feel like it.

That's the thing.
We all have our own standards; exactly how it should be, if it harms nobody else.

10 pm until 7am

Longer in the evenings than in the mornings. Soon after our evening meal I'm undressed, washed, pj's on and comfied up on the sofa watching tv. Only have to brush my teeth immediately before bed.
Mornings are a different matter, first cup of tea is always in pj's then I'm showered and dressed, ready for the day.

I dont wear clothes in bed so I usually put on a kaftan as soon as I get out of the shower. If its very hot and no one is expected I just wear flip flops and a smile!

Ah, the "PJs" question again!

Bossyrossy ... "slovenly" is a judgment, and a subjective one at that.

You do you. I hardly impacts anyone else if you are deadheading in your PJs, and if that is comfortable for you, then you don't need anyone's approval.

It's generally accepted that when we are out in public we are clean and dressed - and the majority of people adhere to this, and obviously you do.

So what you do in the comfort of your own home is your privilege. Does it harm anyone? Is civilisation as we know it coming to an end because you decide to do odd jobs in your PJs before getting bathed and dressed?

IMO people should be free to dress as they please in their home, and worrying about what other people might think is pointless - as you go through life, you will always meet criticism from others - over just about anything you do or don't do. That's the way it is!

Life is short, too short to worry about such things. Finding contentment in later life is essential to one's sense of well-being.

Tee shirt and short style pjs
Straight out of bed and into the shower.
Hate the 'sleepy feel' skin and hair even though I have a clean bed.

My mum had several house-coats that she wore over her underwear.
This was on until housework completed.
She also prior gong out, would do her hair and make-up before removing her house-coat replacing with a clean fresh ironed dress /skirt and top.

Its "lounge wear" these days.
Nobody is able to tell the difference: even on here.
A bit like "the latest iphone" which nobody is able to describe in a way that makes it recognisable to others.

Unless it’s a day I work when it’s straight up and shower I get up and feed the cats, and take a cup of tea back to bed for half an hour then up and shower. I’ve never liked being in my night wear in the day unless I’ve been really I’ll. can’t wait to shower and feel fresh. And don’t get me started on the people who wear pyjamas in public!

Apart from the fact that I do not wear pyjamas, if I am feeling unwell and do not feel up to getting dressed, I have a wonderfully cosy track suit top and bottoms that I get into.

Staying in night attire all day, all frowsty and smelling of bed, is enough to make any feeling of unwellness worse.

If I had a whole day off, which I never do, I'd stay in them until I wanted to leave the house. All day if I could.

But it's years since I've been in that position, so...

I get up around 9'ish and throw on something then have breakfast, do some chores, catch up on any business stuff...phone calls , online stuff and then generally faff about , more coffee and sometimes a bit more faffing. I have a shower around 11-12. Then I can do 'outside' things or have people over. I try to leave the time for myself until 2pm. It's my time and my life and I can do what I want but it is sometimes hard to not feel I should be achieving more. What this 'more' actually is I have no idea? I think it probably relates way back to childhood when I was bullied by my mother and told I was lazy!! Actually I was always a bit of a dreamer with an excellent imagination and my mother saw this as unfit for life!!

I wear a nightie and get dressed after getting up around 8.00-8.30 - rarely after 9am.
We're all different, thank goodness, and can't understand anyone spending all day in the clothes they've slept in.

It's up to you when you get dressed. Nobody else's business!
Who are we to judge?

No nightwear, up, shower and dressed.

Who said anything about PJ’s?

I am an au naturel type so I too would frighten the locals.

Another one here who doesn't wear anything to bed. I usually put on a dressing gown, (fleecey in winter, silk in summer) for breakfast then I have a bath and dress. I do most of my chores by midday and in the evening I dress for dinner.
I would only be found in a dressing gown after 9am if I was seriously ill.

How formally do you dress for dinner?!
