Pyjamas as day wear?

This is nice. After Church, in summer, I'd love to wear soft lounge wear in the garden.

I think this is really pretty. Any idea where I can buy it?
Many thanks

From here….

Well they re not pyjamas that Pippa Middleton is wearing it’s a two piece but not pjs …. she looks a bit strained
There’s a big difference between matching tops and trousers and pjs

It was definitely pyjamas and not a jumpsuit. It was not only my head that turned as the couple walked along the street, but the woman was quite obviously wearing her pyjamas as a fashion statement and her partner was well dressed.

I’ve seen people in pyjama type clothes in supermarkets and once I literally bumped into two women who were shopping in their dressing gowns, but this afternoon I was actually deeply surprised to see a couple walking hand in hand along the high street and the woman was wearing pyjamas. Proper, unmistakable, pyjamas. For a day out at the seaside. They were very nice, (quite similar to the photo) and she was decently covered up, but I’m still bemused.

I call it slovenly, if they think they look great then they are mistaken they look lazy. Too many of them are at McDonalds in their pyjamas and dressing gowns and to be honest, you only have to look at them to know what kind of a home they must live in.

I do not possess pyjamas and nowadays I do not like to answer the door wearing my night attire.

Living in London anything goes but to date I have not seen pyjamas worn in a supermarket- my local is Wiatrose!

Yep shorts and shirt 2 piece sets have become a thing this season for both men and women. ….and the same in sleepwear only it’ll be silky perhaps.

I rather like the summer day-wear if you’ve got the legs and maybe a tan and that includes the men as well.

I honestly think it makes a pleasant change from quasi sports wear or endless lounge joggers with logos etc.

Some of the prints on the shirts are fabulous,
A lot more mens fine knitwear too, it has vibes of mid seventies

At last! It’s good to see the back of grey.

Pippa's is a jumpsuit. It's actually the same as the one I posted at 20:04.

I often nip outside and water the garden in pyjama bottoms and baggy T shirt. My garden is not overlooked so I can get away with it.

I wouldn’t dream of going out in them though.

I think the pictures you posted are very definitely not pyjamas. They are jump suits. My daughter has some.
I love wearing my pyjamas because they are so comfortable, but I wouldn’t dream of going out in them. I wear them to bed.

And a couple more.

I do quite like some of these though!

Well, no, I don't think jim-jams are at all OK for out and about wear. Try turning up for a job interview in them!
Besides, the examples in the post are very stylish on proffessional models but.......on the average short and dumpy Brit without access to a team of fashion gurus and hair/makeup stylists? Noooooooo!

I think that those setting the fashion for wearing pyjamas out and about are not wearing M&S pjs 😄

They will be high end silk outfits “styled” like pyjamas.

Remember there was a similar fashion trend in the 1930s

I've thought about this long and hard overnight, and come up with two possible answers!

1. She was sleep walking.

2. She was about to enter the sea and do that exercise we did as kids, where you had to dive into the water, grab a brick in her case a pebble, then take your pyjama bottoms off and inflate them into a float.

To detour a little, I have noticed a trend for people to wear Dry Robes, designed to wear over swimwear after swimming/ paddle boarding/ surfing as coats. Perhaps the wearer is letting everyone know that they are super active people ...

Streaky yes, Sugarhill

Nope!😄
Not the ones I’ve seen out shopping, they’re just everyday pjs and slippers.

I do not possess pyjamas and nowadays I do not like to answer the door wearing my night attire.

Damn! I was hoping you were going to say that you never open the door in your pyjamas😂

I've only once seen pyjamas out and about.
It was about 3am in Tesco and a harassed looking woman rushed in as I was checking out.

I assumed it was some sort of minor emergency - baby milk, pain killers, nappies???

Obviously more common than I thought! She may have been grocery shopping!

If I ever had to answer the door of a morning I always worried that I might be channeling the saucy housewife (from those old Benny Hill sketch shows) - cue the theme toon🎶 think fluffy kitten healed mules, diaphanous negligee 🙀
closer to the truth was actually *mad woman escapes from the proverbial attic though*🤣
These days I keep baggy old joggers and the least tea-splashed top veryclose to hand if If I’m summoned from the shower!

Some people are out and about in their pyjamas, dressing gowns and slippers, but the "pyjama look" is a fashion statement, not someone who can't be bothered to get dressed.

Oh dear, another of those catty and judgemental threads about people of a "certain culture". So much geriatric pearl clutching.

I dont possess any pajamas. I wear a kaftan most of the time. Have done for years.

I can remember once going to the door to accept a parcel and the driver said "Sorry did I get you out of bed" I told him that this is a kaftan but as I sleep commando style I dont get out of bed to answer the door. Then people would really be shocked.
