The Pajamas Trend - Page 2

knight_shadow · #1 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.

I saw a grown man wearing them yesterday. He was in his late 50s - early 60s. They had penguins. This was the look on my face:

. I had to shake my head and look again to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

ETA: To the poster who asked how long it takes to put on pants? Not long, but at times, I've been known to take a significant amount of time finding a pair that is both clean and acceptable. (Acceptable = fit, color, wrinkle-free)

^^ 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....

Is this post from the 80s?? (Full disclosure - I rocked the stirrups or occasionally spandex and big sweatshirt pretty frequently back in the day) Don't complain, better a big sweatshirt that covers down to the thigh than a cutoff or too small one that shows the VPL or camel toe!!
