Pj wearers taking children to school,

MawtheMerrier

How good it is in this world of economic crisis, war in Ukraine, nuclear threats from Putin, catastrophic floods in Pakistan and climate change, that stressing about what other people wear on the school run can still feature in anybody’s thinking.

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.

I wonder if they wash before going out in pjs. Would not be very hygienic if they go on to shop. Not for me I am afraid

I love onesies as well, inside the house not outside.

Can’t say I have ever seen people in their PJs. Bathers, bare feet etc certainly though we are not near a beach so not so much where I live.

Sure they were PJs and not lounge suits?

Personally, I've always worn clothes outside the house though!

Also visited my own GP wearing a kaftan under a coat for a leg injection and she did not bat an eyelid. However it is a multi ethnic practice in a very diverse area. Some patients are fully veiled but they may well have on nightwear underneath.

Many years ago (1970s) I was staying with friends in Morocco when I became ill and needed to visit a doctor. My friend lent me one of her djelabbas (long hooded gown) to wear on top of my night clothes so I would not need to get dressed.
We went by taxi. She assured me the doctor would not mind. He was western trained and spoke fluent English but did not appear in the least surprised.

Me too!
She loved hers, genuinely.

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.

Oh dear!

MissA - ah well, at least it was not on show. First time ever I heard a positive point about the burka!

My online Muslim friend always wore pjs under her burkha to take her grandchildren to school.
She lived in Malaysia.

Yes, probably.

Red Nose Day?

My grandsons school had a pyjama day for something or other, when he was little.
All the children wore their pjs and took their favourite soft toy.
Lovely, and cheap, too.

I remember in the 1970s a lot of us went to parties in nighties, Jane Austen style.

She saw the funny side (eventually!)

MissAdventure-not funny for your daughter, but ????

My daughters car broke down on a roundabout, and she had to get out, dressed in a turquoise cow onesie, with udders and hooves.

I rarely go out except by car/taxi door to door. So I asked my nephew if he ever sees people out in their PJs. He confessed its a regular sight in Azda. He tends to go in the evening when its quieter. Does that mean the shoppers he sees have been in their PJs all day and never changed out of what they slept in? Im typing this wearing the usual kaftan and flipflops (nothing underneath) but I would feel really grungy if I didnt have a shower when I got up.

I’ve noticed trouser and jacket suits in Zara made out of fabric that could be for nightwear. Like every other item if clothing, covered in noisy colourful pattern. It looks like fashion following rather than setting the trend.
I do put the bin out in my night wear but I’d never do the school run or walk the dogs in my pj’s. I’d feel far too vulnerable walking the dogs in the park in pj’s. Too many incidents of men exposing themselves there

GrannyGravy, I usually organised the children and dogs before driving the children to school, then off to work in my suit because formal wear needed.
One morning, I had to be in very early. No probs mr I would take the children, then aged about 7 and 8 His work base was 15 miles away. He was half way there before he remembered the children were still in his car. They’d remained unusually quiet and laughed all the way back.

god that is so funny

I'd never do it myself, and I do find it the height of laziness, but I'd never judge anyone in public for doing it. I suppose too that a lot of 'loungewear' nowadays is almost like a cross between pyjamas and outdoor wear (like tracksuits, if you know what I mean), so you could wear them indoors or out.

Iam64 how funny ?
