When I was in college, I had to go to two different court proceedings of my choosing. One of them was about a restraining order/kid visitation rights. The guy showed up in a button-down, short-sleeved shirt and jeans that were riding just a little too low.. but the woman.. she was wearing a bright pink pajama "outfit" (with pants and zippered sweatshirt). She looked like a giant marshmellow peep! Awful. I was SHOCKED when I saw her walk in. If I was the one up there trying to get the judge on my side, I'd probably try to look halfway decent.

Granted, her company is very casual, but it seems to me that the bar keeps going lower and lower...

I've worked at my company for nearly 2 years, and on casual Friday, I always wear something similar to what you've described above. But there have been numerous emails that have gone out over those 24 months about what's appropriate attire in the workplace.. Because everyone dresses like a) they just woke up, b) they're heading to the beach, and/or c) they just don't care at all.

Me either! And I hate going out without a shower. Of course we've all had those moments where we have to do it, but no shower and/or pajamas and/or hair not done is all synonymous with me feeling gross/lazy.
And IMO, the fact that these trendy stores/brands are making "cool" pajamas doesn't make it ok. Because to most people, it doesn't simply transfer over to going to the grocery store in comfy pants. Instead, they go to work, school, court, a play, a restaurant, etc. looking like they just rolled out of bed.
