I was just asking my oldest daughter (21) about this. I had taken one of my younger daughters to town and she said she wanted to buy pants. She ended up picking out PJ bottoms. Then she wanted to wear them to school, which I was absolutely against. I had noted that a very large number of girls in her school have taken to doing so. I think it looks trashy as heck.
Apparently it is socially acceptable to some. Not for me, as I consider it low class. I am not talking about if whether you are rich, poor or somewhere in between. It is a matter of how you present yourself. You don't have to act and dress like a Walmartian. The people of Walmart dress like that. It is trashy to me.
But I am out of touch on lots of things like fashion and what is socially acceptable, so maybe I am totally wrong.
For the record though, my 21 year old thinks it is trashy too.

I don't know, I was thinking football coaches should suit up in a uniform, like they do in Major League Baseball.

you ever see that video of him in the run,kick and pass competition for kids? He was in 8th grade or thereabouts and he probably outweighed every kid out there by at least 25 pounds. They had to get him shoulder pads and a jersey of the Rams running back because they didn't have any "youth" sizes that fit him

I wear shorts as long as possible. When it gets cold out I wear a lot of joggers or Duluth fire hose type pants or Carhartt’s duck fabric I rarely wear jeans.
I like the extra pockets for phone, knife, keys ect in the Carhartt’s over jeans and they look/wear a little better IMO.
My 20 year old son and his buddies hardly ever wear jeans they wear shorts or joggers/workout type pants. My son bought me some joggers about 5 years ago for Father’s Day, I love them. They look a lot better than traditional sweatpants and keep the snow or mud of the cough in bad weather.
I wear shorts, flip-flops, tennis shoes/lace-up boots, and a T-shirt 80% even while working. I dress nicer when I go out with my girlfriend, and other events places where shorts are not appropriate.

Pretty similar here, if no wind and above 10 or 15…..short pants and a light jacket, for short periods of time! If wind and long exposure, the clothing changes……considerably! 😉 memtb

A few weeks ago, after hunting in the morning I went to the local grocery store to pick up a few items. Per usual there were some other hunters doing the same thing--and two had arrived just before I did, in a 4WD pickup.
The guy in the passenger seat got out first. He strongly resembled Santa Claus, except for his hunting clothes--yellow pajamas, both bottom and top, with some sort of some small red repeated pattern against the yellow. He got out to take off his legally-required blaze-orange vest, and then got back in the pickup--while the more conventionally dressed driver (jeans, Carhartt jacket) went inside the store--also after taking off his orange vest.
The pajama bottoms were so baggy I couldn't tell if Santa was wearing hunting boots or bedroom slippers.

I DO NOT own any pajamas. I was raised when you go out in public, you dress your best. I see people running around in clothes that looks like they just got out of bed. I think is shows they have no self respect. Maybe I am just to old and think more about myself. You will not see me in blue, red orange or any other colored hair either.
Well, I wrote "pajamas" but what I meant was what they call "lounge pants". Cotton with a fly and corded waist. Lighter than sweats. Comfy. Don't sleep in them, but put them on to keep my legs warm after I get up until it's time to dress. I have I think five robes, from super light summer/travel to thick and warm.
Anyway, the point of the thread is that these are two "do nothing and go nowhere" days at least for me. Gonna be warm and comfy.
I do NOT wear lounge pants to go out - even to take out the garbage cans.
RockyRaab: Never owned or worn a set of "pajama's". Family was poor and I and my brothers slept in our "undies". So needless to say I won't be "lounging" around in "P.J's. I always get dressed first thing in the morning so VERY seldom ever wear my "bath robe". You would probably get more done and get more out of life if you schitcanned your P.J.'s?

VG, I have almost exactly zero to "get done." I also sleep in "undies" but put on warmer stuff to spend my mornings. Up at five but sometimes don't get dressed until 10. Like today. It's 10:15 as I type this and I'm still in fat pants, robe, and slippers. My major chore of the day will be to chill glasses for cocktail hour.

You and VG are to anal, at damn near 72 I dont give a rats azz what people think about my attire and especially when I take out the trash.
Well, Congress said that I'm an officer and a gentleman so I have some standards to uphold. Even turning 77.
Well damn back in 70 they gave me a bunch of OD green and told me to go fugg around in the muck and mire like a pig while carrying a rifle. But that ended in 72. After 51 years i have my own thoughts on how to live my life.

Back during one of the many hiring booms in the software industry, I was handed a developer who turned out to be quite the party girl. Quite a few days a week she would just barely drag herself into the office in time for a team meeting, and definitely looking the worse for wear.
But the day she showed up in full pajama attire is the day she and I had a one-on-one and she subsequently left the company "seeking other opportunities".
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
Low class. See kids on the sidewalks complete with their blankies, slippers, and Teddy bear in hand.
Had a discussion with my own kid (33 yrs). Not allowed to smoke in our home so on a visit he wandered out to our front porch in his PJ's to light up. Obviously, I don't care for the smoking, but we are not doing PJ's in our front yard. If that's the dress of choice, he'll be in back of our home where no one will see him.
Such seems to the be the uniform down in our community's subsidized housing. Maybe it's an economic deal. Probably $3.00 a set at the local thrift store.
Clothes are a lot more casual these days. When I was a kid all the boys and men wore a coat and tie to church. None of the women wore pants, dresses only. Still that way at the Pentecostals. I just left church and the only one with a coat or tie was the preacher. The church I used to attend the preacher never wore a suit or tie.
I remember a wool suit that tortured me as a kid. Church seemed 5 hours long.
In federal or state court no one seems to wear anything but casual clothes except for the lawyers.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
I haven't worn pajamas since I was a kid. I wear undies to bed. I do have a robe so when I stay at other people places I can slip it on in the night if I have to use the bathroom. I don't want to be walking around in someone hallway in just my undies.

That’s about how it was at the church that I grew up in. The kids didn’t wear suits but nearly all of the men did. It didn’t matter if they worked in a factory or owned a janitorial company and had no need for a suit. They still wore a suit to church and the woman wore dresses.
I like to dress a little better for church than day to day but do not own a suit. Church today means my good boots and newer Carhartt pants or good jeans with a button down shirt which is pretty standard for most of the men. Really getting fancy is dress pants and dress shoes. I wouldn’t wear joggers or flip flops and shorts but that’s just my own ideas of what I want to wear and how I want to show respect. Clothes a little better than my regular work clothes or what I wear around the house.
This has been an interesting thread. Lots of ideas and none of it’s really right or wrong. I maintain my home and my neighbors aren’t paying my bills. I couldn’t care less what the neighbors see me wearing when I’m taking out the trash. As long as I’m not in my birthday suit. I don’t care if they see me wearing a business suit, a leisure suit, a sweatsuit, or a swimsuit.
Having said that I think it’s cool when someone likes to go old school and always look their best. That’s never a wrong call if you’re inclined to do it.

Yep.
I believe in showing respect by going out of my way to wear something a little better than I usually would otherwise. I don’t believe that I need to buy suits or other dress clothes that I otherwise have no need for. If someone wants to do that or already has those clothes for their line of work and does it with a humble attitude that’s cool too.
I usually get dressed before leaving the bedroom in the morning. My wife generally goes down for coffee in her robe, then gets dressed if she needs to go out to work. If she's working from home, she usually just goes into her office and gets to work. Some days she works in her bathrobe until dinner time. Neither of us leave the house in anything like sweatpants or pajama bottoms,
Around here, at least the churches we go to, people dress up for church. Most of the men wear coats and ties. TRhe women usually wear dresses.
My last job, before we moved down here, was running the machine shop portion of a small, custom manufacturing operation. I couldn't believe I had to set a few of the young guys straight on the fact that in a shop with machinery with revolving spindles, with heavy steel and aluminum components being handled, and with torch cutting and various welding operations going on, you don't wear baggy sweatpants, sweatshirts and sneakers (or Crocs!).
I remembered reading a book by Charles Conerly( a Mississippian, former NY Giants? quarterback and the original Marlboro Man). Dress for Sucess. After a successful football career, he became a much sought after male model. He would change clothes 3 or more times per day and shave at least 2X. Taught me how to buy a navy blue blazer and use differing colors of pants and button down Oxford cloth shirts and ties to make a completely different look. It served me well as a school administrator. As one trainer from the State Dept of Ed some folks get in front of a classroom looking like they come out of a pea patch! If you want respect, do your part. Wife and I dress up for church and doctor appointments. Of course it’s been said that Delta folks wear pearls to the supermarket. In the Billy Graham biography, the family wore their finest clothes all day long on the Lord’s Day. MIL used to say dress for your station in life. I do know that if teens attend a prom, everyone tends to act better if dressed up. I’m old school and like to dress up. Last 4 years as asst superintendent of Ed, I had to drive a bus route. I still dressed up with khakis, shirt/ tie but wore overalls to protect my good clothes. You can dressl on a budget or one salary. Buy clothing on sale, off season, utilize thrift and consignment shops. I did and taught my minister son how to. Our Salvation Army thrift gets pressed starched pants from dry cleaning stores who donate them to the Army when not picked up. Designer ties are a Buck I find Dockers, Orvis, LL Bean and Land’s End stuff there. Used to be several garment factories in the state before NAFDA. Most operated a factory store where they sold over production and seconds. One in AR sold Tilley flop hats for under $5 Got all 3 sons one. Online has clothing bargains too.

So is it more acceptable to spend all day today in pajamas and robe -- or tomorrow?
I think I know what you'll say.
I say boaf. I'm going to the gym tomorrow morning so I will get out of my PJ's and into my gym clothes and when I get home tomorrow I will stay in my gym clothes. Because I can since they are almost like PJ's.

On a day off I will usually wake up in flannel pj pants and a t-shirt but I’m generally changing into BDU pants after breakfast. Shirt for the day is dependent on weather, but it’s generally a button up fishing shirt or canvas shirt.

Spent first 17 years of my professional career working for a company where you had a choice of a blue suit or a grey suit, a white shirt or a blue shirt, a blue tie or a red tie, and black wingtips. Took me 20 years after that job to stop wearing black wingtips to work or church. Today, work from home. Still have a uniform. Black Under Armor t-shirt, black UA gym shorts, black crocs... Do not own a pair of pajamas. Can't stand to see people wearing them in the stores. If I go off the farm, pull on a pair of Carhartt britches of some type.
Out side the house I wear cowboy boots and a trench coat . If we have guests I put on underpants.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
I don't have any fancy church clothes and I don't wear pajamas out in public.
But I do have a nice stockpile of top notch (outdoor)work clothes. Recently ordered 5 pair of Ariat work pants. They aren't getting any cheaper, used to be around $50, $65 now from Tractor Supply.
In the airport last Tuesday a family of four were boarding my flight home. The mom and the two kids were sporting red and black plaid Pajama bottoms. Wasn't sure if they were trying to make a fashion statement or if they normally dress like retards in public.

A few years ago when working at the local service station it was common place to see women of all ages (60+) coming in dressed in a puppy or bunny onesy.
I’ve taken to wearing my merino base layers as lounge wear when I’m in colder climates. I put a robe on if I go outside to wiz at camp. At home in SWFL Florida its a pair of very stretchy workout shorts and a tee shirt.
I see lazy ass slackers come into the grocery store wearing pajamas and slippers and am absolutely disgusted. Lazy, do nothings. They will kill America.

It is new years day and I have just got down off a hot garage roof where I was teking the tin down and I am sitting here in a pair of old stubbies and an old Australian Shearing Supplies singlet with the aircon going it's hardest.
It's expensive clothes but I have undershirts that are 3-4 years old and they gtg. Order a size up because even if you air dry they still shrink a little.

Always a pleasant sight to go to Wal Mart and see slipper sliding groundpounders wearing pajamas with bed head. Out to spend what is on their EBT card. I avoid going down the aisle they are shopping because lots of them don't smell too nice.
I'm in sweats and a long sleeve tee. It's my uniform of the day. I need to go pull the CV axle from my wife's car. I will shop for the new part and do all the labor in the same sweat pants and long sleeve tee. No fooks given for whatever people think. I ain't a skinny kid that can bend like gumby anymore.

If you want respect, do your part. Wife and I dress up for church and doctor appointments. Of course it’s been said that Delta folks wear pearls to the supermarket. In the Billy Graham biography, the family wore their finest clothes all day long on the Lord’s Day. MIL used to say dress for your station in life. I do know that if teens attend a prom, everyone tends to act better if dressed up. I’m old school and like to dress up. Last 4 years as asst superintendent of Ed, I had to drive a bus route. I still dressed up with khakis, shirt/ tie but wore overalls to protect my good clothes. You can dressl on a budget or one salary. Buy clothing on sale, off season, utilize thrift and consignment shops. I did and taught my minister son how to. Our Salvation Army thrift gets pressed starched pants from dry cleaning stores who donate them to the Army when not picked up. Designer ties are a Buck I find Dockers, Orvis, LL Bean and Land’s End stuff there. Used to be several garment factories in the state before NAFDA. Most operated a factory store where they sold over production and seconds. One in AR sold Tilley flop hats for under $5 Got all 3 sons one. Online has clothing bargains too.
Spent first 17 years of my professional career working for a company where you had a choice of a blue suit or a grey suit, a white shirt or a blue shirt, a blue tie or a red tie, and black wingtips. Took me 20 years after that job to stop wearing black wingtips to work or church. Today, work from home. Still have a uniform. Black Under Armor t-shirt, black UA gym shorts, black crocs... Do not own a pair of pajamas. Can't stand to see people wearing them in the stores. If I go off the farm, pull on a pair of Carhartt britches of some type.
first job out of college, I had to wear a suit - they would allow pinstripes but the stripes could be no thicker than a dime. Wingtips or capstone shoes - no loafers, white or grey shirt. I don't remember any rules about ties but I'm sure you couldn't wear any novelty ties. You could take the suit jacket off to go to the bathroom.
Sounds draconian by todays standards but they paid well and had great benefits. and I have to tell the VP's niece not to wear bunny slippers into the office now
When I started the job I have now 20+ years ago you could wear Khakis but now people wear cargo shorts and sandals. Even with all that, if I'm meeting a customer or an executive, I'm absolutely dressed in business attire. It pays to get decent clothes - high quality and good fit. I bought a Hart Shaffner and Marx suit at at thrift store for $18, later bought a Brooks Brothers at the same place. Like you said, you can dress well on a budget if you are so inclined. I buy shoes new only though, want to break them into how I wear a them, not someone else.

Years ago, we had a thread about clothes at work where some fancy-ass, stick-up-her-ass woman was excoriating anyone who didn't wear Armani or Christian Dior to work.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
I like to give this to my family every once in awhile and I have told this story to others when I think they’re missing the point…
My wife took her mom shopping a couple days ago because mom wanted some new nice clothes for church. See…mom likes getting compliments from the other “well-to-do” folks at her retirement home because she thinks it sets her apart but it doesn’t. I told her that she is trying too hard to impress the ass in the pew next to her rather than the Reason she’s there in the first place…..GOD DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU WEAR TO CHURCH! God cares about what is in your heart, if conceit or pride are dominant in one’s heart there’s less room for the Lord! In church I’d rather sit next to an honest sinner in dirty pajamas with a pure heart than a rich man dressed to the Nines with a prideful heart….
One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services were to begin. Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand he carried a worn out old hat and an equally worn out Bible. The church he entered was in a very upscale and exclusive part of the city. It was the largest and most beautiful church the old cowboy had ever seen. The people of the congregation were all dressed with expensive clothes and accessories.
As the cowboy took a seat, the others moved away from him. No one greeted, spoke to, or welcomed him. They were all appalled at his appearance and did not attempt to hide it.
As the old cowboy was leaving the church, the preacher approached him and asked the cowboy to do him a favor. "Before you come back in here again, have a talk with God and ask him what he thinks would be appropriate attire for worship." The old cowboy assured the preacher he would.
The next Sunday, he showed back up for the services wearing the same ragged jeans, shirt, boots, and hat. Once again he was completely shunned and ignored. The preacher approached the man and said, "I thought I asked you to speak to God before you came back to our church."
"I did," replied the old cowboy.
"If you spoke to God, what did he tell you the proper attire should be for worshiping in here?" asked the preacher.
"Well, sir, God told me that He didn't have a clue what I should wear. He said He'd never been in this church "

I’m generally in jeans and a t-shirt. I’ll throw on a polo, a flannel, or light jacket if I go out. Only time I leave the house wearing shorts is if I’m going fishing or on vacation. I don’t own PJs and only wear sweats if I’m exercising.
Clothing etiquette is diverse, right? It's about feeling comfortable and confident in what you wear. If you're exploring different styles and etiquettes, Temu offer a wide range of options that might suit various dress codes. Checking Temu clothes reviews can give insights into the quality and style, helping you navigate different clothing etiquettes and find pieces that align with your preferences.
I used to wear a tie everyday. Once I started running my own business, that stopped. I now only wear a tie for funerals or weddings. Still occasionally wear a jacket on business dinners or if doing some client calls.
I’ve seen people out in public in their bathrobes, and slippers
That is what Ingwe was alluding to. Hell I've seen people board airplanes in pajama pants, sleeveless undershirts and jap flaps for chrissakes.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
