It's not an uncommon sight in Liverpool. I recently saw a woman not just in PJs but also a bathrobe and slippers.
This was in Argos on Walton Rd!

I saw someone on Tuesday wearing pjs's. The mother had on normal clothes and her daughter had on PJ's and I thought to myself why would you allow your child to go out and dress like that... The girl must have been about 11/12. I'd have left her at home .

This happened outside a poundland. I had just finished my shopping in Morrisons and was popping into the pounland opposite for some chocolate.

I seem to remember that you presented yourself as a scared silly teenage boy chucked out of home and didn't know how to find a plug in your bedsit.

Seen it a lot in my area the local shop keeper has a sign up saying he will not serve people in Pyjamas. Then on the other hand another local shop keeper serves people in her dressing gown until her staff arrive so swings and roundabouts really.

Some cold winter mornings I could quite easily leave the house still wrapped up in a duvet though so I can kind of see where they are coming from. I guess it just shows they are comfortable in who they are..

I have driven OH to the station in my PJ's before. I had a really bad cold or virus, and was going straight back to bed, so saw no point in dressing and undressing again. Might have been embarrassing if the car had broken down though.

In some ways, I think the distinction between night and day wear is getting a bit blurred, tbh. Lots of pj's are like t-shirts and tracky bottoms, or shorts and vest tops, and I've seen lots of summer dresses that look like strappy nightdresses.

Spot on! Not that I wear to many strappy nightdresses (honest)

If I worked on a checkout, I'd refuse to serve someone who was wearing pyjamas until they changed into proper day clothes. It's incredibly rude.

Imagine if they were on their phone as well.......

I'd hit them with my scanner.

It's the only language they understand!

I think there's two different breeds of public PJ wearers. There's the type you're talking about who can't be bothered getting dressed so slob out in what they're wearing. But there's also a trend for clean pj wearing, where they get up, get showered, put clean make up on and get dressed in clean pjs and go out in them as a fashion statement.

I think the latter is more bizarre. The former is sheer laziness, agreed, but the latter is downright silly; just put normal comfy daytime clothes on!

It does irritate me actually.

I have a baby and even when he was a newborn and I didn't know if it was day or night I was able to slip on a pair of leggings and a cardigan. I even managed boots and a coat too if I was going out

They may not have been clean or matching but I always managed to get dressed

Saw a woman the other day in PJ bottoms and a PJ t-shirt that said "I am not a morning person"... It was about 2pm!!!

"Fashion statement" or bone idle slobs? I know which one my money is on...

The irony about it being a fashion statement is no-one looks good in the kind of PJ's I see people wearing!

I guess I like them cos the cute animals and designs on them make me smile. I also think the material often feels a lot more soft, smooth and comfy than day wear of the same price which you can buy.

Yep, on reflection I think it can be a cost thing. For day wear you'd have to spend much, much more money to buy something with material as comfy and long lasting as a fairly cheap pair of pjs from say Primark. Especially if you want something pretty with lace and bows and girlie patterns. That's what got me into buying camisole tops and thermal vests and things which are actually underwear, though I don't think it's obvious.

Well I know NZs got a small population but that's surprising.

And seriously, I have heard a lot of people in NZ choose to go barefoot; something to do with it being more comfortable in the climate.

Years ago I used to have a friend who would drive herself to the local supermarket and go around it still wearing the enormous cat slippers she used to wear at home. They were the sort of oversized novelty slippers that tend to make people burst out laughing at the sight of them.

I don't understand getting upset about it either to be honest. I mean who's getting hurt? And also perhaps the non fashion statement ones are ill.

I got to Tesco once and realised I was still wearing my Hello Kitty slippers

This. I see it all the time here - men, women, children and everything in between. Mostly I don't care what people wear, but really if you're too lazy to pull on a pair of pants (or whatever) before you leave the house, then you should be worried about yourself.

Several local schools have had to ban them because girls were showing up not only in pyjamas, but in rather revealing pyjamas.

I don't know that anyone's getting "wound up" over the subject; people seem just to be voicing their opinions.

To be honest I couldn't care less what people wear in or out of their homes...mind you, I do draw the line at having builder's bums in my line of sight.

What are you talking about?!

Even if that were true, which it isn't, what does that have to do with .... anything? I only made a comment on the reactions to the topic, I fail to see the connection between the two.

Not only am I not a scared silly teenager who was chucked out of home, because I never have been chucked out of anywhere, I also haven't had problems finding any sort of plug in a bedsit. Your comment is nothing but an excuse to have a dig at me about something that bothered you probably 9 months ago, and whatever happened is completely different to whatever the hell it is you're suggesting. I commented on the reactions of this thread, and that puts you in a position to comment about one of my unrelated posts from ages ago out of 50,000 others on this forum does it? Props to you for your fantastic memory about a mundane thread created by someone you don't know.

Bringing up a random posters history for the sake of it is pathetic. How would you like it if I went through your posts and picked up something unrelated just to try and make you look like a fool? Yeah thought so. I hardly came in here calling people "pathetic little bastards" or something that actually warranted such a useless response from your childish self.

You can tell from the nightwear whether they are wearing pants or not?
