I truly believe that some people have a Wal-Mart hobby. These are the kind of people who attend to their box store needs by going every weekend, dressing up in their finest pyjama pants and standing in everyone’s way with their humongous cart full of pudding and kitty litter.
If there is a place and a time for everything, the place and time for pyjamas are the home, Wal-Mart, and the occasional late night movie that you might also fall asleep in. I’ll admit that I’ve been guilty of that last one and I do not regret one second of it.
I think young people can get away with wearing pj’s a lot more than adults. They always have spirit days at school, and it’s not like youth are concerning themselves with fashion faux pas when they still have recess to think about. I know when I was that age, I was thinking about what games my friends and I would play, the latest Harry Potter book, and how I would handle the embarrassment of not getting the lead in the school play (which by the way would be handled with jealousy, angst and upstaging because I’ve always been a classy babe).
No, this problem of night wear in the daylight only concerns adults who should know better. Not only should they respect their environment (see “Top 5 Fashion Pet Peeves- #5: Athletic Wear Outside of Sessions”), but they look like they don’t respect themselves. I get that they’re comfortable, but wouldn’t you feel better about your wardrobe if they made you feel sweet, saucy, or sophisticated instead?
The only reason why late night movie theatre excursions are off the table for me are because so many people fall asleep anyway. They might as well be comfortable doing so! That and I’ve done it too, so I feel obligated to be honest with you, but also defend my integrity.
Fashion is not the most important thing, but people do make judgements about others everyday! Everyone formulates opinions about you every moment of every day by the way you dress, act, speak and carry yourself. If you are a great, clean and sassy diva, honey, those pyjama pants aren’t showing it.
