The Pajamas Trend - Page 2

knight_shadow · #16 01-27-2012, 02:29 PM

I never wore pajamas in college. The laziest outfits I wore were gym shorts and hoodies/frat shirts, and even then, that was only one days when I had one early class.

I was in the business school and usually took night courses, so I was either just getting off work or surrounded by people who had just gotten off work. I think I would've felt odd coming in looking raggedy.

I haven't seen any of my students wear pajamas for a few years now (thank goodness!). I'm sorry to hear the trend is picking back up again.

I don't think I've ever seen guys sport PJs in public - I've noticed only women doing it.

I saw a ton of boys doing it while out and about over Christmas break. Slippers and all.

^^ Seriously? Wow. I'm glad I've been missing out!
(Not a fan of PJs in public AT ALL.)

I do remember guys wearing pajama bottoms when I was in undergrad -- I just wasn't one of them

^^^Since when was MJ the King of Hip Hop?

Wearing yoga pants was/is about as bummy as I get. It's still insanely comfy but a step above my PJs. I didn't see too much of this in college but I notice it to be HUGE in high schools around here.

MommyCG bought me a pajama shirt. While it is comfortable, there are very few places I'd wear it. It's much more dressed down than I'd normally wear and because it's cut like a PJ shirt, it's not very flattering. It's mostly worn on laundry day.

I actually wear my yoga pants while sleeping as well, because I find them more comfortable/warmer than loose pants and they make my butt look good, which is of the utmost importance while sleeping.

I looooooove flannel PJ bottoms. The minute I'm in the door, they're on. I've gone out to pick up people in them, but never when I was getting out of the car lol.

Yoga pants are the most casual I see out on the streets, although I have seen a few teenagers in PJs at McDonalds some mornings.

My butt looks awesome on a regular day but yoga pants increase the awesomeness. Therefore, they must be worn day and night.

You can clearly see which one bothered me more.

Ditto. There has been one day that I wore anything resembling pj pants to class. I had to turn in a practice thesis and be in class for maybe 15 minutes at 9am.

I just don't find it that hard to pull on a pair of jeans. It takes maybe 30 seconds to pull on pants.

The pajama bottoms aren't so bad. To me, they say "I was up all last night studying." The pajama jeans are better, they are kinda like wearing sweat pants to class.

What is really bothering me is the running tights with a super HUGE sweatshirt look. We're talking little tiny girl size XXL sweatshirt, you can only see the tips of her fingers not her hands, and then legs like toothpicks sticking out of the bottom. To me, it says "I wish I was still five" or "please don't even THINK about asking me out" or "I really want to be an orange for the school play." But of course, these are also the girls that are wearing full make up, pearls, and diamond earrings to class.

Did I mention they have letters on the sweatshirts? (sigh) Its one particular group....

I'm great with it. The fact that it was already a thing, made feel me better wearing them with my boot after ankle surgery. I felt welcome to do so. However, there is also the other end of the spectrum. Going to class in a very dressy dress and five inch heels would scare me to death (maybe partially because I am clumsy as can be...). I only dress up for special occasions, pin days, and juries. As long as you know when to dress as what, it doesn't really matter. The main point of school is to learn something, not to put on a fashion show. So I'm not a big fighter for either side.

I may also have some outside influences. As a music major, I hang around the same people all day. A few of my friends actually sleep in the music building. Just this morning we were joking about how someone could come to class wearing pajamas and no make-up and no one would react. I know I spend, on average, 8 hours a day during the week with these people and know them really well. Dress code may be different if I were in another department working on obtaining a "professional" degree or even if we were in another environment. However, we dress for the day. Nice for juries and performances. And pajamas for the 5 hour stint in the practice room.

See, I still haven't been able to wear jeans since my surgery. Anything that presses against my belly button is a no-go. But I'd prefer yoga pants or sweats over PJs. Though I do miss my hospital scrubs. I had black, bootcut ones that would be perfect for this occasion.

Back on topic...I've been getting a pass to wear my yoga pants to class but when I go certain places in the medical school, that won't fly. So I wear slacks. I'd rather go too far formal than too far under (even with a good reason).
