Where have you seen people wear pajamas?

[ninjadoc]

I couldn't resist this topic when I saw an elderly man walk into Home Depot tonight wearing pajama pants and a t-shirt in Little Rock, AR. Blew my mind. So where have you seen people wearing pajamas?


Home Depot
Hospital Emergency Room
Kroger
Wal Mart

Uni lol.

[anoxy]

I'm a manager at a Grocery Outlet in a pretty low class city. I see people in pajamas all the time.

But honestly, who cares? If they're comfortable, why does it matter...

[Pacifist]

 I don't care but in general we are taught that it is socially acceptable to wear certain clothes when we do certain activities. An older generation, such as a man in his late 60's , would generally not feel comfortable going in public wearing his pajamas. I would not feel comfortable doing so. Would you wear blue jeans and a t-shirt to a wedding that the invitation specifically stated "black tie" or to church with your mother on Easter Sunday or brunch with her on Mother's Day? In those instances it is an action of respect to your mother and the others could be considered respect to yourself or to society's expectations. I've digressed but simply a matter for discussion.

Right, but Home Depot doesn't specify a dress-code to shop in their store.

If someone is confident enough in themselves that they can strut around in pajamas and not give a ****, more power to them. Are we so vain that trying to impress others or conform to prefabricated societal expectations outweighs a personal feeling of comfort. I wear sweats all the time in public....as an athlete, fitness enthusiast, and somebody who played soccer 18 years of their life, it's just something I've become accustomed to.

[Novus]

If ur hot and you wear pajamas in public it's all good if you're not then **** off.

The issue is not about acceptable clothing in public.
It's about who should be in public at all.
Obviously hot people.
Ugly people should just stay indoors and use amazon.

[anoxy]

Ok i agree with that. Nothing like a nasty fat chick waddling around in ripe pajamas that clearly haven't been washed in weeks.

[noisyturtle]

No one looks good in pajamas. It's one of those clothing that basically tells people you gave up and don't want to be taken seriously or be part of society. They are in the same category as Slankets, Snuggies, flip-flops(when not at the pool,) and sweat pants.

You can't justify it. These people defend themselves by saying 'I didn't have time this morning' or 'I don't care about how I look' which are both self-lies. You look terrible. Everyone thinks you look terrible. Take a goddamn modicum of respect and apply it towards not looking like a human disaster.

I'm no fashion nazi and 98% of the time I couldn't care less about what others wear, but don't lie to yourself.

[Novus]

Don't be a socialist or even worse a space socialist.

[anoxy]

I look good in anything, especially naked. Lifting weights and staying lean means you can wear whatever the hell you want.

Also, sandals mean you've given up and don't want to be taken serisously? lol where do you even live?

[noisyturtle]

Don't be a socialist or even worse a space socialist.

If anything, expecting people not to dress like homeless people is the opposite of socialism.

[anoxy]

Most homeless people I've seen wear jeans, boots, and jackets.

Not often you see them rocking joggers, a hoody, and some slick nikes.

[Badwrench]

I wear my pajamas out all the time.  I have several pairs of nice pajama bottoms that I pair with random motocross and automotive shirts and house slippers or flipflops (if its raining - my house slippers aren't waterproof).

Places I frequent in pjs:
Supermarket
Frozen Yogurt
Lowes/Home Depot
Liquor store
Doughnut shop

Even though I am out and about in pjs, I don't look homeless or sloppy at all.  I am ocd about cleanliness.

No that pretty much falls into socialism.

[paicrai]

people used to wear one-pieces, so I'm going to say everywhere

Oh my god, yes. There's some kids at my college who wear Kigurumi's. Not even on Halloween, just as regular clothes. What the ****.

Would you wear blue jeans and a t-shirt to a wedding that the invitation specifically stated "black tie" or to church with your mother on Easter Sunday or brunch with her on Mother's Day?

I would and I did, also at funerals...
Why should I buy new clothes just for a single occasion?

[Lanx]

the blue jeans and shirt to wedding/funeral vs. pajamas to home depot are vastly different.

in one instance, you literally could give zero ****s about how the general public views you, b/c you woke up and suddenly decided you REALLY need a miter saw.

whereas the blue jeans t-shirt to an event/occasion directly affects your circle of friends/family and perception.

it's public vs. private.

also in terms of dress code.

public dress code is "as long as you're wearing something remotely resembling you live and function in a civilized society and aside from surfer culture/stores no shoes/no shirt no service applies"

private dress code is dictated by the invitation, you don't just barge into a wedding or a funeral, you're invited (less so a funeral, but if you're just going to a random funeral for ****s and gigles it's pretty disrespectful to all).

i mean if you're a girl and you goto a wedding, 99% of american weddings will either give you the evil eye or outright kick you out for wearing a white dress.

[iri]

wedding dress codes can be vastly different, by the way.

Say what?!   You sig says PDX, that's hardly a low class city.  Eccentric, maybe; and idiosyncratic, definitely; but not low class.

Now if you're talking Gresham, that's a whole 'nother topic.

I think google image search would disagree

I see people in public all the time in hospital scrubs and similar.  Some of those may be pajamas, but I can't tell the difference.

I figure people dress today mostly as an exercise in costuming.  People wear clothes to signify group membership.  Are you in sales?  Suits are still de rigueur.  Work in IT?  Dockers and polo shirts for some, t-shirts and jeans for others.  Like to bike to work, or after work?  Spandex still seems to reign supreme.  Construction or field work (biologist, archaeologist/physical anthropologist, herpetologist, etc.)?  Carhardts and loose cotton shirts with long sleeves.  Sometimes shorts.

People switch costumes, too.  You've got your work costume, your relax around the house costume, and your go out for dinner and a movie costume.  Sure, there is some degree of variation, but you'd be surprised how many people adopt specific items just to let other people know what group they belong to, or want to belong to.  Including the group of people who wear pajamas in public.

If I could rock band shirts, jeans, and skate shoes to work, I would. I didn't even own a collared shirt until my first internship sophomore year of college.

PJs in public? I could rock it.

i cycle to work in my regular clothes.

Like to bike to work, or after work?  Spandex still seems to reign supreme.

i cycle to work in my regular clothes.

When I commuted via bike in Seattle I always changed at work, we had lockers/showers and bike racks near the parking garage so it was quite convenient.  I have seen people wear office/casual clothes while cycling, but I couldn't do that, I was always covered in grit and frequently rained on as well.

Now that I'm in Virginia I've only biked on weekends.  But the humidity is 85% at the moment, there's no way I could wear street clothes and not arrive dripping wet. 

YMMV, of course!   

[iri]

iri's mileage

winter (-12 .. +5): cycle to work, go to shower room, don't shower, take off pants, take off fancy lycra stockings, take on pants, go to room.

summer (+6 .. +32): cycle to work, go to shower room, don't shower, take off riding t-shirt, possibly wash head, remove sweat with disposable towels, apply perfume, take on office t-shirt, go to room.

in seattle outdoor showers would be enough for me as well.

[Malphas]

I wear sweatpants to work, and have gone to the shop near my house on a weekend morning for a pack of cigarettes or something wearing a bathrobe and flip flips before.

Peopleofwalmart.com good for laughs. You have the nastiest, toughest looking 250lb, 6ft 8 musclebound thugs come in - dressed in pink pajamas with teddy bears and fluffy bunny slippers. And 600lb 60 year old women wear bikinis and high heels in.

I'm a Portland native, and my location will remain PDX. But I recently took a job helping run my dad's store a few hours north of Portland so I'm now in hickville USA, where foodstamps are more prevalent than dollars.

[StylinGreymon]

I see folks in PJs every day, just out and about.

It's not my thing, but fashion is arbitrary, so I try not to judge.

[Findecanor]

I haven't worn pyjamas since I was a little kid. Back then I wore it commando... Isn't that the norm?

I thought, word I like this guy.

Then I saw you're from Portland and it made sense. This is why I love the pacific northwest...people are so laid back and accepting of various lifestyles and modes of thought. Forums like this make me feel fortunate I'm surrounded by like-minded individuals.
