Pj wearers taking children to school,

^We are allowed muse on other things. I'm sure there are many threads running at the moment about non serious issues. This is chat, not News and Politics^

That’s me tell’t.
Musing yes, pearl clutching, no. .

It's surely up to individuals what they've isherwood to pearl clutch about. Not that I'm seeing much of that on here.

I wouldn't go out in PJs - I've no pretensions to industriousness, and my 'standards' are about how to treat people not about dress - but it wouldn't feel right. Conditioning, probably.

What I want to know is, do people who do wear them out put a bra underneath? One of the good things about being in PJs is the comfort of not wearing a bra, but going out without one is not going to be a great look for most people. If you are undressing to put a bra on you may as well grab a non-pyjama top instead.

I cant say I have any strong feelings on the matter of what other folks choose to wear. Where I live its anything from the full niquab (with only eyes showing) to saris and salwar kamiz. All women are pretty much covered.

I go out so seldom now that I have no idea what people wear in the city and I havnt visited a supermarket since Tesco began home delivery in my area. People could walk past in pjs or onsies and I might just assume it was the latest peculiar fashion from Instagram.

Whatever floats your boat.

When I joined GN this is just the sort of thread I thought I’d find and I wasn’t wrong.

You should have been here years ago when you were labelled the spawn of the devil if you watched day time television ?

There has been so much talk in last few years since Brexit about British exceptionalism, and I will use this example whenever the subjext comes up. Just Brilliant, thanks, LOL

Does a little bird ? tell me you might not live in the U.K. Fleurpepper ?

Oh autocorrect/predictive text has so much to answer for!!

What is the difference between clothes and pyjamas? Quite honestly I have seen young ladies barely dressed in "clothes" which are far more offensive than pyjamas. That said, when we did meet someone in pjs, dressing gown and fluffy slippers in Asda one afternoon, we were slightly bemused but only because it is somewhat out of the ordinary.
I am happy to take my rubbish out to the bin in my pjs or play with the dog in the garden. To be honest, I'd do the same in my bra and knickers if it didn't show anything as I consider it to be no less offensive than a bikini...mind you, these days my underwear is much more covering than it used to be!

We've been dressed today, walked the dogs, but we're home from Church - now back in comfortable pyjamas.

Soon enough one or more of our daughters will ring to come round and we'll have to dress again.

So many more important to worry about currently, that is true. However, I can't help but wonder if this could happen anywhere else than the UK or the US?

Perhaps we have better pyjamas here.
And onesies.

This comment has had me in stiches for the last couple of days. There has been so much talk in last few years since Brexit about British exceptionalism, and I will use this example whenever the subjext comes up. Just Brilliant, thanks, LOL.

I checked the label in my pyjamas and they are not just pyjamas - they are British Marks and Spencers pyjamas ?

Made in Bangladesh.

I agree the clothes worn today are often so slovenly you would not even know if someone was in day clothes or night clothes. Their footwear might give it away if they were in fluffy slippers, but flip flops not so much. So in fact they could be wearing anything and we'd probably never know if they'd dressed that morning or not.

I remember the days when they were made in the UK! But that was a long time ago.

And you'd never guess that in the EU they also have Matalan, Primark and even, yes- still C&A! and the very same pyjamas and onesies. How invredible, hey!

with a 'c' even!

Our rector had a bride and groom come for a pre wedding chat. Bride wore pjs and dressing gown. She did manage the full meringue wedding dress on the day though. ?

I guess the bride was already in the PJ zone before marriage, so no chance of her ever getting dressed on the school run or in the supermarket!

Don't mention C&A ???

I went there often, and remember buying the whole family shell suits! The it was the bermuda shorts craze. Must have been around 1990. Still, they were day clothes, not sleepwear.

Well we're all entitled to our opinion and to dress how we like.
But I think walking around the streets in pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers looks daft.
A lot of lounge wear looks similar to track suits or joggers though.

I'm surprised their children weren't off to school in pj's, too!
Maybe next time they could supply the children with sleeping bags & pillows so they could nap while there.
What happened to themselves dressing while the children ate breakfast? Assuming, of course, that the poor little ones were even offered breakfast if the parents were running that late!!
Nope. I don't care what you say. Pyjamas are indoor clothing, with the only exceptions being such as leaving the house to hang out/bring in the washing, stretch from the front door to put down/pick up milk bottles and absolute emergencies ie to call for help from someone nearby!!!
I would live in my pyjamas INDOORS, but for going outside I own outside clothes!!!

Still very much alive in France and many other European countries

Yes a while ago I had to collect some stuff from a nearby town a school time, I was simply horrified many were wearing dressing gowns and slippers and had just rolled out of bed.
I really did not realise standards had slipped that far

I think being out and about in pjs shows a pretty good standard of behaviour.

Never seen bank robbers dressed in Jim James and fluffy slip on footwear.

I've been reading this thread off and on today, then got a call from the Sainsbury's delivery man to ask if he could drop off my order early. I agreed and went to the door, only to realise that I still had pyjama bottoms on. I did have a jumper and bra though, which is how I'd forgotten.

I was a bit embarrassed, but luckily the sky doesn't seem to have fallen in, and I'm not sure he even noticed.

In my High Street recently I saw a couple of young women in pj's, dressing gowns and fluffy slippers, plus a full face of makeup, including false eyelashes. I expect that they thought my standards were shockingly low- out in the day with no eyeliner or lashes.

Some parents come to school (properly attired) but with such beautifully applied make up that I feel underdressed!

Standards arn’t slipping, they’re changing. Many stores are tending not to differentiate between nightwear and “lounge” wear. This trend probably accelerated during the pandemic, and am sure younger ones would not judge negatively, those who parade out in PJs for example. (Unless the nightclothes wearer was elderly of course) then it would be assumed they have dementia ?
