“oh but pyjamas are more comfy”….why don’t we normalise buying comfortable every day cloths so that we can be comfortable all day long and not just at night? “oh but they are cute”… no one isn’t going to see them. You will wear them only when it’s night and will change out of them first thing in the morning. They are just over consumerism in my opinion.

You sleep naked, don’t you?
Pajamas are my work attire.
Here’s my upvote for the unpopular opinion!
I used to think this and would sleep naked most nights. Then one Christmas I was gifted some lovely pyjamas, really nice quality, so I tried them and I honestly can’t believe I’ve gone most of my life without them.
I forgot to pack my pyjamas for a holiday last year and ended up sleeping naked and it just felt wrong, so I tried wearing shorts and a t-shirt. It was like 50% as good as my pyjamas.
Getting home at the end of the two weeks away and finally putting on my beloved PJs was one of those moments in life that just hits different.

Ummmm I guess I’ll just start sleeping in my comfy jeans??
Your opinion of what is classified as “comfortable everyday cloths”. To you, does that mean leggings and sweatpants? And why would I wear my everyday clothes to bed? To me comfortable everyday clothes is jeans.
My pyjamas are pairs of mens boxers…
I truly don’t understand the premise of your opinion. Or what difference it make?
Depends on the weather. Some form of covering is necessary in colder weather. Not everyone can afford central heating.
Having said that, none of our sons have pyjamas. If they wear anything it’s usually underpants (but you’ll appreciate that I’m not in a position to observe how they sleep).
I don’t wear anything if I can get away with it
Idk why I just love pyjamas. Like yeah there are comfy clothes but I feel like it doesn’t amount to the comfiness of pyjamas.
At least this is actually an unpopular opinion so my upvote is now yours.
I live in a city and I’m not hanging around my house in clothes I wore out, let alone get anywhere close to my bed in them. Even if I lived in the country, still not doing that.
Pyjamas (or whatever) are the clothes I put on when I get out of bed if it’s cold and I’m not getting straight into the shower.
As a female, I refuse to buy anything with frills, hearts, puppies, pastel colours, or suggestions that I’m anyone’s “mommy”. Men’s pjs are good. You can get black ones with trousers that are actually long enough.
How anyone can sleep clothed has always baffled me.
I don’t think people care anymore about the original purpose of things. People want to be comfy and will wear anything they want wherever they want.
The number of people I see now walking around in public wearing those flannel pj’s- even though they are clearly sold as Sleeping Pants or Pyjamas and sold in the sleepwear departments – demonstrates this.
The line between public and private clothing has long ago vanished.
I guess if you’re single and/or live by yourself no one else will see them, but for some of us we do have other people who exist in our homes and even in the same bed as us!

They’re only a waste if you buy them despite not wanting them, i guess. If someone prefers sleeping in pajamas, i feel like that’s not a waste for them. I just sleep in underwear so i don’t really get it. Stopped wearing pajamas when i was like 8
Haha exactly my thoughts.
It’s a waste of time taking them on and off too.
I just wear comfy clothes.
I wear day clothes that are meant to go outside and pajamas aren’t, but they’re more comfortable than outside clothes for when I’m inside and staying inside.
I like to look cute for myself. Also, I have a partner and friends and other people that see me.
You can just wear beige sacks everywhere if you don’t care but other people aren’t so strictly utilitarian with something as diverse as clothing styles.
Dafuq are “pygamas?” Do you mean pajamas?
>You will wear them only when it’s night and will change out of them first thing in the morning
i don’t change out of them first thing in the morning
Anything is pajamas if you sleep in it
Street clothes for the street. Cute, clean, comfortable pyjamas for sleeping. Personally, I also have housewear for if anyone knocks on the door, so I don’t answer in my pjs. Take my upvote: you don’t understand comfort and feeling cute.
I wear the same cut/brand of pants to bed as I do around the house, I just switch to a different pair because I don’t like tracking dirt and pet hair from the rest of the house into the sheets.
Ah, the daily “People spending money on something I don’t agree with are wasting money” post
Pjs are for the day time. Naked is for night time.
this is such a weird take idek what to make of it
Yea I wear shorts and a T-shirt to bed in the summer, however in the winter I do like my jammies, sure sweats are comfortable, but they are a bit scratchy compared to soft PJs. I guess I could buy higher quality sweatpants but they are also almost too thick for bed as well. Idk I feel like PJ pants in the winter are all you need along with a t shirt and shorts in the summer.
Pajamas are nothing but whatever shorts/light pants/t-shirt I wear inside whenever I have nude-intolerant people over
You want to sleep in your dirty “outside clothes”, or do you want to put on new ones, therefore washing your real clothes twice as often? Or sleep in the nude? What is your suggestion?
My stained clothes that I can’t remove become my pajamas for the most part.
I sleep naked. Pajamas are my all day apparel if I don’t have to leave the house, which is most days.
I think you underestimate how cute some pajamas are, and who some people will wear them around.
wtf are pyjamas?
My pj’s are clothes I’ve worn out or accidentally bleached.
I’ve slept in my boxers since I was 14
OP sits around in khakis and a tucked in button up
I like structured clothing with clean lines when I’m at work or out and about (today, creased jeans and a tucked vintage pearl-snap shirt, both starched) but at home I prefer gym shorts or my cotton jersey knit comfy pants.
I don’t wear anything to bed, but I don’t feel like having separate house clothing and out clothing is a waste (I say in my flowy robe made from reclaimed fabric).
If anything it’s the other way around…I wear comfortable clothes more often than my work/going out clothes.
My day clothes go outside, I do chores in them, I sweat in them, they get dirty. I don’t want to bring that dirt into my bed. My day clothes need to be tough enough to stand up to years of wear and wash, that doesn’t lend itself to being the most comfortable. If I shower, then put on pajamas at the end of the day, I am getting into cleaner clothes, and cleaner sheets. Those only need to be washed once a week or so, instead of daily like some day clothes.
It’s not a comfort thing, it’s a hygiene thing.
I work at a gym and sit/lay on gym equipment all day. If you think for one moment I’m bringing those germs into the place where I sleep you’re absolutely insane. (Also I sleep naked so this doesn’t matter, but still)
I will say, I have never had a problem sleeping in jeans. I always wondered why people said they were uncomfortable.
Mine were $5 and super comfy. Comfier than sweat pants, even.
I would suggest there is another alternative to the idea of pj’s.
Some people work tight ass stick in the butt full formal jobs and its a huge plus to get home and put on your comfortable to wear, physically, and express your inner weirdo that would otherwise be a hot spot of attention in public.
I own a myriad of onesies. I don’t necessarily slip one on after work, but im certainly not saying, “Jeez, i feel like being a tie dye giraffe at work today.”
I work in trades.
But I will agree that normalizing comfortable work/formal friendly clothes is a huge plus for society. In general, we are definitely seeing that rise in popularity.
Pajamas work in coldcweather; otherwise no.
I mean, if you wire your day clothes at night to they’d wear out faster. Assuming you’re saving money by using all your clothing until it’s not usable anymore, you’re not losing money because you’d replace everything less often.
The real solution that you should have put is to wear comfy clothing during the day, and then eventually downgrade them to pajamas when they are still functional but no longer work and/or outdoor appropriate
Pajamas for sleep is the same as wearing a jacket when it’s cold outside.
Just say you’re obese and wear cherry fleece pants to Walmart. Being trashy is a choice and that’s ok. We will judge you though.
Been anti PJs and anti underwear for over a decade now. Saves money and time. But then again, I like to be naked at every chance I get as well.
It isn’t really that the pj’s are comfy, it’s the fact that changing into them means your day is over and you can relax and get comfy.
People who sleep with outfits on aren’t to be trusted.
My pajamas don’t care if I wear a bra or no; my day clothes do
Pajamas are for when family is over, or I’m visiting someone’s house.
You are missing out, and clueless. Might as well stay that way.
I wear basketball shorts to bed, they’re comfortable and I won’t be looked at weird for wearing them most places.
why are you people saying pyjamas and not pajamas?!
Jammies go way back in history, were they over-consumerism then as well?
Do you enjoy sweating all over your sheets…?
Pajamas are easier to wash than my bedding.
Do none of you people sleep in sweatpants and a T-shirt?
When buying clothes, comfortability is my priority, materials, the fit and cut all falls under this, last is design. I’d be wearing today’s fashion only if it’s comfortable.
I wear cotton, soft, loose pants much like them pj’s.

Jokes on you I wear pajama pants outside all the time
well, you’re objectively wrong
Everybody who says the word “comfy” should be exterminated. It’s fucking “comfortable”.
Clothing that is comfortable for day to day wear isn’t necessarily comfortable for sleeping. I wfh and most of the time I’m wearing shorts and a t-shirt. My clothing is very comfortable. Bunches up when I try to sleep in it though.
have you never bought anything cute for yourself? just because nobody will see it doesn’t mean it wont make you happy
Hey man. Sounds to me like you just want to wear pajamas in public.
I used to think similarly, I have changed my mind. PJs are at home wear. Everyday clothing cannot be as comfortable as pajamas because it needs to be sturdier, it needs to hold up to environment, weather, light activity. PJs don’t have those expectations. They are just soft and light and perfect.
I wear comfy clothes all day. Tank top and soft cotton shorts. Toss a dress on that and suddenly I’m in work clothes.
So yes, agreed. Pajamas are a waste
i hate seeing people wear those red flannel plaid pajama pants in public it looks tacky and dirty, and it makes me think that the person smells bad or musty
I haven’t used a pyjamas since I was 4. Then I used boxers and a t-shirt till I was 12, then just boxers until 16, and since then I’ve slept naked. They are pretty pointless yes but so are piercings and I have one of those. Ultimately liking cute comfy shit is of no harm, and the “nobody is gonna see you in it” gets back to a “if it’s not for anyone else then why do it”-argument. You can do stuff for yourself because you like it.
Idk where you live but at least in a region that gets colder in the winter, having a pair of flannel lined pj pants (~$60), and house slippers if you’re feeling extra, for evenings and lazy days is peak comfort and luxury. I don’t want all day comfy clothes because I feel comfortable, confident, and productive by putting jeans and season appropriate day layers on.
Also, home cozy is a warm, happy mindset that you can shift yourself into easily by just putting your home cozy clothes on.
My brother you gotta change clothes anyway; else your ass will be sweaty and rank by day break.
Nah, I just prefer naked or loos clothing to any I’ve tried on so far. But if I find the “the one” I’ll buy that set and love my pajamas.
I usually sleep in shorts and a tee-shirt, and I know people wear sweatpants and shirts, but also pj’s, and night gowns and night shirts have always been a thing. Lingerie is always going to be around in one form or other. If you don’t want to wear them and prefer to wear casual clothes, good for you, but people do like to wear sleep clothes so they can strip off the clothes and sweat from the day and put on a clean outfit when they wake up for tomorrow.
I like to walk around in comfy clothes in my home when I dont have plans outside.
Im not a person who likes to “dress up” at home to start my day. I prefer to just wiggle in my extra long shirt/hoodie type of pyjamas and do my thing/enjoy my day.
