The Pajamas Trend

I didn't know this was a new thing. I remember my nieces all wearing flannel PJ bottoms with various tee shirts to middle school (6-8 years ago).

Pajamas being seen as a fashionable and acceptable thing to wear is a new thing.

People trying to wear pajamas to the store or as a rebellious or lazy student statement is an old thing. As far as most outsiders are concerned, your nieces' flannel and tshirts were more rebellious and lazy than stylish. The college students who wore pajama bottoms on my campus (13-17 years ago) were not the least bit fashionable or stylish.

good point.

A friend of mine who is a flight attendant was telling be about some high school/early college aged girls who flew on her plane over the holidays; they showed up at the gate in full lengh zip-up footie PJs. I think that might be taking the PJ trend a bit far.
