As for me, I usually wear my tuxedo when in public. Of course, when I go to more casual places, such as theme parks, I wear dark pin-striped suits. For picnics it will be slacks and a blazer with an open neck shirt.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I wear my PJs to bed -- in winter it's a long sleeve thicker T-shirt and draw-string pajama bottoms. In fact, it's been so chilly this winter that I've been wearing plaid flannel pajamas. And I don't change out of my PJs to drive my daughter to school (because I'm not getting out of the car). I would never run into the grocery dressed in my PJs. I think PJs should not be for public display. I don't care for the whole pajama look -- young girls who wear the hooded sweatshirtt and PJ bottoms and UGG boots -- not so much.

Originally Posted By gaydsnywitch Where do you wear your PJs? No where; I don't own any pajamas. But, I don't think they should be worn in public. Well, running to the mailbox at the end of the driveway would be ok.

Once the 10,000' chime goes off, I dart to the lav and change into my PJs and slippers. On the way back to my seat, the looks on other passengers' faces is a mix of envy and an expression that conveys "what is that crazy dude think he's doing?" Even when awake, it's amazing how much more comfortable the flight is, even compared to casual street clothing.
Originally Posted By debtee I don't own any PJ's. I just don't like to wear clothes in bed. If I stay at someone's house, I will wear a nightie. Yet, I have a very close friend of mine who just LOVES her Pj's. She puts them on as soon as she gets home from work and if you call into her house at any time, she has them on, day or night! Usually they are really bright character ones, like the cookie monster or Elmo. lol She never goes out in public in them, she just likes them to wear at home.

They were wearing well worn jammie bottoms in screaming bright prints. I thought, "those girls are wearing jammies to the grocery store." LOL! I used to see it more often, but not so much lately, then again I don't leave the house early or late

As for me, my "pjs" would not be appropriate anywhere other than South Beach.

Originally Posted By LuLu Can't say I've noticed this trend recently. In the early 90s tho, they used to sell bright printed cotton pants styled like PJs for both women and men. Remember those? Maybe there were just sold on street corners in Inglewood and such, I don't know. But women and men wore these - even my then-hubby. There's always weird trends!!
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I think PJs are for the house. I would be embarrassed to be seen in mine outside the house, even though they are covering.
Originally Posted By LPFan22 I only wear PJs for sleeping or lounging in. The only time I would wear them out in public is if there were an unforeseen emergency of some kind.
