Shopping in jim-jams
Following complaints, apparently there are moves from Tesco to impose a dress code to discourage people from shopping in their stores, wearing night attire.
Are they right to do this or is it going too far? |

I wonder what the distance to shop ratio is for people wearing their 'yim-yams' to a shop?
I doubt it can be that far, I can't see people going on the bus in their 'yim-yams' to a shop. It must be round the corner sort of distance. |

Some go everywhere in their pyjamas. Tramps.

I really don't wanna go all Hyacinth Bucket but i have to admit i go into snob mode whenever i see people doing this.
I just find it distasteful. |

I wouldn't go so far as to ban them or impose a dress code, but there is something undeniably slobby about people who are content to wear the same clothes 24 hours a day (as I continually tell my teenage son)

Why on earth? What does it matter to fellow shoppers if other people wear pajamas? Is it such a huge difference between leggings and pajama trousers?
I think this is just people looking to be outraged when they have nothing better to do. |

I have occasionally noticed people shopping in what appears to be a dressing gown, but it's merely a passing factual observation, in the same way I might clock that the milk had been moved to a different spot. It doesn't bother me in the slightest as it's not affecting me, and is really none of my business. Of the total footfall in Tesco, you have to wonder what actual percentage have complained. I'd bet it is very low indeed. |

I often wear my onesies to walk the dog, I just pop my coat over.
I have not been to the shops in them as I never just pop anywhere and normally out for the day rather than a short trip They are not my nightwear though as dont wear anything to bed, they are the clothes I wear in the day when staying in.. Im not really sure what makes PJs any different from go out clothes. |

I sometimes walk the dog in pjs but only when it's pitch black and there's only me and my boyfriend about (we are owls). Am always bundled up in coats, hats, etc., especially in this weather. As for wearing them for shopping or any other outdoor activity...nope.

Could be worse.
Many years ago I was minding my own business in Tesco and some bloke rushed past on his way to the till, wearing a skirt and blouse (no it wasn't a Scotsman in a kilt! ). He also had a full beard just to add to the weirdness of the incident...

Perhaps they have going out nightwear which is different from what they wear to bed.

I've seen women on the bus in jammies. Some people are just slobs. I've seen whole families, mum, dad and kids all in jammies and slippers in the shop. Children who are obviously bed wetters with stained pyjama trousers paraded round by mothers in dressing gowns. Sheer laziness.

There are items of clothing which are designed for specific purposes - swimwear, raincoats, ballgowns etc
Most rational people would tend to wear what is appropriate to the activity. It would be odd to see someone wearing a ballgown to go swimming or to see someone wearing a boiler suit to a wedding. Pyjamas and other items of nightwear or sleepwear are not really suitable attire for wearing outdoors in public spaces because what people wear as nightwear differs from person to person. Some people wear just a T-shirt or just boxer shorts. Some people wear nothing at all. If wearing PJs or any other form of night attire to go shopping becomes acceptable behaviour, it simply stretches the definition of appropriate clothing even further to a ridiculous level because awkward and attention-seeking people would simply claim that whatever they happened to be wearing was THEIR form of nightwear. |

I happily go to the street door in my jammys (going through the courtyard of my 'quad' of houses), which my boyfriend has just about come to accept.
He's just been away and bought some Italian pyjamas, which are really quite stylish - much more presentable than lounging around in a football shirt for example! |

If I have spent the day slobbing around in my jim-jams then will always at the very least throw on tracky bottoms and top before nipping down to the chippy to get my supper.
Sometimes it will be because I have been for a lunchtime run and still not got round to showering and dressing afterwards so still in shorts and running top. |

No-one is outraged. Bemused, surprised, saddened, bewildered, accepting, indifferent maybe.

Outraged enough to take pictures of strangers shopping in their pajamas and demanding dress codes to shops.
![]() I think it is Tesco themselves who impose a dress code and I see no reason why they shouldn't if they don't want people slopping around their stores in dressing gowns and slippers. |

I think this is just people looking to be outraged when they have nothing better to do. but just look decent. There's enough Primarks & Matalans around to buy an outfit from.
