Wearing PJs to Walmart

[PollyannaMom]

Would I wear PJs out shopping? - No (I don't even get the mail in my actual PJs. - However, I would wear clean sweats or yoga pants with a long shirt to quickly run in the store.)

But am I offended by the girls in the photo? - Also no. (It definitely looks to me like they are going to a themed event.)

Put on some decent clothes or use InstaCart you ridiculous sloths. (And get off my lawn.)

Watch it now. I’ll leave the house without a bra just to spite you.

 

[mumto3girls]

I wouldn’t do it, but perfectly fine to me if others do.

It's Wal Mart. I'm just glad that they're properly covered.

I wouldn’t do it, I was raised to look presentable when going out. I am envious of people who don’t worry about what strangers in Walmart think of how they dressed.

 

[easyas123]

Noooooo. Just no.

Same for yoga pants and other obvious workout clothes.

It doesn't take that long to pull on a pair of jeans and shirt.

It's a business transaction and disrespectful to the store personnel who are there to serve you. Implies they don't deserve a customer who appears respectful of their effort.

I agree -

Live and let live.

I used to think it was something I'd never do, until I had a pipe burst in my studio apartment at 6 am and the pajamas I was wearing were the only dry clothes I had. Eventually, I had to clear out so the plumber and clean up guys could do their thing. I picked up my friend who wore pajamas in solidarity, and we eventually got food at a restaurant (I asked if we could be seated wearing pajamas, first). It was the end of a very difficult week, and very surreal to be so physically comfortable and emotionally uncomfortable at the same time, but I think being in pajamas weirdly helped the situation.

I think the pandemic helped people be less stuffy about that (even more than before where we were shifting to being more casual over the years). When my mind is worried about all these other things I just don't have it in me to concern myself as much on what some rando in a Walmart thinks of what I'm wearing. And that's more of a larger shift than this person or that person thinks like before. Fundamentally people have figured out there are more things to be worried about on a day to day basis.

It's also not like people just let it all go to heck just because they are less than what some rando thinks is presentable to them. Not every thought has to be a zero to 100 on a scale.

I pretty much live in leggings and tunics and that isn't much different than PJ's. The only time I have worn actual cute, matching PJs into the store though was when it was PJ day at school and I had to stop somewhere on my way home.

I haven't checked the history on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if jeans were once considered "inappropriate" at one point in the past. And now, they're as common as sunshine and raindrops.

Yes, jeans were considered inappropriate in many situations. They were considered work clothes: cleaning out the basement, raking leaves, etc. Many people wouldn’t wear them “out” for any reason.

Up until the 50s, kids didn’t even wear them to school. My parents said most would have died of embarrassment if they “had to” wear jeans to school.

I agree and don’t think it’s a bad thing.

I just saw a picture on social media of my daughter in pajamas getting voodoo donuts with her college roommates today. They went right before it closed at midnight and they were all wearing slippers and pajamas. LOL. Glad they were out having fun together.

We were eating at a restaurant once and a group of about 10 people came in, all wearing pajamas. Both adults and kids. Turns out they just got finished doing the local Polar Express train ride. I guess you go in your pjs. They were having a blast and I thought it was wonderful.

What if you go to self checkout?

I still get a kick out of seeing old photos of places like the Atlantic City Boardwalk in which women are wearing long dresses and the men suits.

I know I wore bedroom attire outside once. To see a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I think you got in for half price or something.

 

[Planogirl]

I don't really care what people wear. They look ridiculous but that's their choice.

 

[lovesmurfs]

In the Stone Age most woman got dressed up to go to the supermarket.

I've got news for you, since the pandemic, I've actually started dressing up to go to the grocery store. It's officially an outing for me. Sigh.

I really don't care what others wear, though. Whatever they're comfortable in is fine for me.

 

[MIGrandma]

I wouldn’t wear my pajamas to a store, but I don’t care if anyone else does. Better than not having everything covered.

 

[China Expat]

NO, just NO

 

[Mysterian]

Oh just realized, I've worn athletic pants in public and at home in bed. I always change out of my work clothes when I get home.

why does it matter what people wear? aslong as there not covered in pee or poop. I could not care less. We dont know folks issues or circumstance for wearing what they are. These full pajama suits are kinda fun to wear, and let me tell you no one sleeps in these. They are lounge clothes.

Rock what you want! Life is to darn short to care what others think.

Word up!
Two things I can’t stand:
1.People who discriminate based on one’s personal style of clothing
and
2. People who wear Crocs.

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist rewording an Austin Powers joke.)
