If you wouldn't open your front for a stranger wearing your lingerie why would you go out in public dressed in your lingerie? It is not that you embarass me, its that I am sad for you.

The perception you give is that you are either desperately trying to hang on to your youth by acting like a juvenile, or worse, that you don't care, about anyone or anything, including yourself.

I know! Ive seen ppl wearing nice, clean, matching pj sets that looked much better than so called "real clothes" that were inappropriate, stained, sloppy, etc. What's the big deal?

while i do not personally wear my pjs out in public, i am not offended in any way by someone wearing them to the grocery store. of course every business has a right to enforce a dress code, but i think there are more serious issues to be concerned with, such as revealing shirts, shorts, skirts, etc. C.Jay u wrote if i didnt want u to think that i am a slob or disgusting, i should put some real clothes on. I cant imagine anyone really cares what you think of them. I have never gotten dressed in the morning to start my day worrying if the "C.Jay's" of the world approve

Just to let you all know from the start i have never been to england before and i live in the USA so my comment i what i see.
I do think that the store dose have a right to have a dress code but i don't find it all that weird to see people in their PJs i know if i had a choice i would go and walk around in my pj bottoms. Also i see why some people might not like this because others abuse this right to wear what you want by wearing see through pjs. But i aslo remember a time when wearing your lingerie like top was totaly in fashion.
If it were me with the kid issue of course i would brush my hair, wash my face and brush my teeth but i would all so put something on top like a coat. But i have seen were most of you are coming from but i don't see why we should discriminate people for wear their PJs

Akuin.....you cannot compare scrubs to pajamas.....because for one they reflect a professional lifestyle and are usually clean and ironed and you know exactly why they are wearing them. And as for you mother wearing pajamas I am sure there are acceptable comfortable clothing for her now that most countries have been trying to go "green". As long as we keep making excuses for laziness (excluding your mother of course)......then our society will become exactly what it is becoming..........LAZY..................

Actually Cindy we've been looking for 5 years all material except for Joe Boxer, and even then it was like a limited group there, pajama bottoms catch my mother's Psoraisis and -rip- her skin off. Psoriasis is a horrifying disease to have, want only a partial of the pain my mother suffers when she wears Jeans to try and 'fit in' with everyone else? Remove the skin from hip to ankle in one long strip, let it bleed, don't bandage it and walk around in Jeans and you have what my mother goes through all over her body. She's lucky that shirts have more variety in fabrics so they're easier to come by.

I also have severe psoriasis and there IS clothing out there that is comfortable and does not require me wearing my pj's in public. I know what it's like, believe me, I know and while she may not be able to wear jeans, there are other forms of clothing. Scrubs, running pants (those do not have elastic around the ankles), etc. are a good substitute. I'm sorry for what your mom has to go through, having to go through it myself, but it really isn't a valid argument to run around, wearing nightclothes, in public.

Angie I believe that you have Psoraisis, but I'm more willing to believe that you are in remission, or have some other form of Psoraisis since there are what 5 different forms. My mother has Plaque Psoraisis and is -not- in remission. She has tried scrubs and running pants and the like. They all catch those plaque scales and rip them off. She's got it on 85% of her body her legs are practically one large scale. When she returns home after wearing such material they're soaked in her blood because they've ripped all of them from her body and made her bleed. I mentioned Jeans because to rub jean on an open wound is about as painful as it gets I think. I'm glad that you are able to find materials that conform to your psoraisis, but my mother has -not- found in -five- years anything but those Joe boxers that she can walk out in public in. She'd rather have the minor embarrassment of hiding her Psoraisis under PJ bottoms then the major embarrassment of walking around in blood soaked clothing because then people harass her and she just wants to be left alone.
