Practically, if you go outside, PJ's aren't the right clothing. They're not durable almost at all and soak up filth very easily (at least filth that wets on to the fabric). If you're wearing PJs outside, you're not going anywhere dirty and it better be a clear day!

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Agreed. Pajamas are great if you're laying in a soft bed or lounging around indoors. If you're hiking or doing anything really physical, you'll be a lot more uncomfortable than if you had dressed appropriately.

We had a "cold wave" here in UK a few weeks ago, the temperature dropped below zero C° for a while. Even I, nordic and with good understanding of dressing for the weather struggled to keep warm. I saw a woman in the tube wearing one of those fluffy fleece pajamas with Paddington bear pattern and thought: actually not a bad idea!

Baggy trousers + sweatpants

Yeah but you can mostly say the same of a business suit.

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

A bit of water and a cloth can clean up a suit (good quality) enough that it won’t show up.

Try to wipe anything off fleece.

Pyjamas are for everyone and of different types from where they come from

Additionally, society fucked up by deciding men had to wear pants instead of skirts.

Buy a kilt. It's a game changer.

The part that no one ever talks about is that a well fitted high quality suit, which is the most ubiquitous professional/ business wear for a man, is just about as comfortable as pajamas. It's like a secret that all men share and don't talk about because if this fact came out widely enough the jig would be up and we might have to dress in something more punishing. Jeans are often more restrictive and uncomfortable than suit pants.

[-] zik@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

I've never been particularly comfortable wearing a tie.

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 7 months ago

I enjoy it, but then again I want to hang myself

More than one fashion writer has declared the tie to be dead. Go on, wear a suit and skip the business noose! Nobody's gonna stop you.

I actually came here to say that. I used to have to wear suits a lot and I kind of miss how comfortable they were compared to most other clothes. The only bad part was that they had to be dry cleaned, which was annoying.

[-] someguy7734206@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Suit pants are nice, as are the shirts, but the jackets are frankly quite stupid. Plus, you have to take into account the fact that a well-fitted suit is only guaranteed to be well-fitted at the moment it comes from the tailor.

[-] abraxas@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Flipside... no matter how many times the suit-shop owner says otherwise, the classic suit-shoes are fucking torture devices.

As. frankly, are any suit that cost less than a human kidney

Pajamas are proof that we hate ourselves because even in our own bedroom, the thought of being naked, aka just ourselves in our purest form, for hours disgusts a lot of us.

Not me though, I can't sleep wearing stuff.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 15 points 7 months ago

Used to sleep naked and thought anything over than underwear was super uncomfortable (especially things like shirts felt like they'd choke me in my sleep). Have since changed my mind after finding something comfortable enough I rather wear it to sleep than go nude.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I only changed because of concerns over testicular torsion. Gotta keep the goods supported.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Soft fabric comfy, skin not comfy. Don't ask me why it be like this but it is

Clearly, Mike has never been to a Walmart. 😂

[-] abraxas@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Clearly you haven't been to one recently. I'd kill for people to wear pajamas instead of lingerie or jeans that are ripped in the ass or crotch.

They should speak for themselves. Pajamas are the perfect weekend pants. You know my weekends are probably gonna be me wearing my soft pajama pants all weekend long if I ain't got any major work to do or places to go.

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

As someone who works from home, I wear pajamas any time I don't need to do stuff outside

[-] Transcendant@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Speak for yourself, sure I'm not alone in this but I can't stand pyjamas. Often they have buttons which are uncomfortable (for front sleepers, which try as I might, I often find myself waking up from this position), and they seem to get all twisted round my nutsack and bunched up in my butt. Not to mention, too hot!

I like being a birthday suit ice popsicle when sleeping, otherwise I wake up in a pool of sweat and have bad dreams. I'm sure I read a study recently that found optimum temp for a good nights sleep isn't a hot or even warm temp.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

I only wear pajamas when I'm awake, ironically

The body does indeed cool down to sleep, so yeah

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

That's odd considering that's when a lot of repairs happen, so you'd think that activity would increase temps.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

They are talking about the temperature of the environment. If I remember correctly, it should be about 60-68 F (16-20 C).

wfh is absolutely magical and transformative; it's fucking infuriating that there are dipshits clinging to the bullshit, outdated idea of having to wake up early and get dressed and be somewhere for like 10 hours straight during the peak of your waking hours, either because they think work matters or they've handcuffed themselves to this bullshit notion of propriety and responsibility

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

I'm very glad that my career has absolutely no need for set hours. In fact, it's better if I work outside of business hours (Sr IT engineer).

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 13 points 7 months ago

I sleep in the nude and work in my pajama pants

[-] ares35@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago

what about 'casual friday'?

Shorts but the goods just flop out one of the legs.

People keep saying shit like, "That is inappropriate courtroom attire for a counselor" and "You'll be held in contempt" but I can't hear the haters over the sound of my infinite comfort.

[-] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I’m in a job that requires I frequently wear suits (the most uncomfortable of clothing). But I’ve always been envious of the professions that wear scrubs…

I disagree. Stretch jeans are the single most comfortable piece of clothing for your legs.

[-] Transcendant@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Once you try stretch denim, as a guy it's hard to go back to normal denim. Feels like a cage around my crotch.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

You must not have tried a kilt yet.

I live in a town that's so casual, people wear PJs, or whatever they want, whenever or wherever. And it's ok.
