[Closed] PJs / Jim Jams /Lounge pants 🙄correct time of day ?

Never. NO gentleman wears pyjamas!

I do own pyjamas. They're in a drawer in case I'm admitted to hospital. The "trousers" are actually shorts though.

5?  I work from home in lounge wear and change into it at any opportunity.   I’m wearing blue tartan m&s pj bottoms and a Crew polo shirt as I type...

Im being comfortable on my own home who GAS what anyone else thinks.

PJs at bedtime - only exception is if I have a shower after a nightride and only have an hour till I go to bed.

Generally lounging around the house - trackie bottoms. Comfy for doing physio or general stretching, and for post tea beer and crisp binges to avoid the embarrassing belt loosening thing

Ron Hills are OK though 🙂

My mate Sy used to come home from work and immediately put on a tatty old pair of tracky bottoms. They were referred to by all of us as ‘the piss pants’ as we all reckoned that the stale piss, along with a selection of other interesting stains, were all that was holding them together.

As someone who works from home a lot of the time, I’m probably not the best person to ask about appropriate levels of attire during the day 😂

Smoking jacket is it TJ?

Seriously, wear what you want in your own house. Naked is the only way to sleep, but I wear vest and shorts or vest and pyjama bottoms around the house. Why would you get dressed properly if you’re just dossing about inside?

I’m sure some of you on here are trapped in the 1950’s

I am lucky,my butler leaves all my clothes for the day,arranged in the correct order.
I still sometimes miss mummy,she was so good at telling me what to wear.

I like onepiece.com er jumpsuits for working from home tbh 🙂

It's but a small step to this...

The want is strong...

RM.

My gf keeps going on about wanting me in pyjamas. Luckily I have some self-respect left so have declined thus far.

So many ways to take this....

If I run or cycle home from work, get in soaked, have a shower, why would I put clothes on? I'm not going back out again?.

Lounge pants FTW.

TJ, nae wonder you're such a grumpy bastard! 🤣🤣🤣

I take it as, I stopped wearing the things at about ten years old or so... 😂

@rogermoore, that's just your old Moonraker wardrobe! 😁

As soon as Ms ginge knows she’s not going back out she’s happy to get changed, even if it’s only lunch time.

I’m the exact opposite and will stay in the same, proper, clothes from getting up to going back to bed most days.

I'm also in the "have PJs in case of hospitalisation" camp, but I do change into comfy trews & a hoody when I get in from work - which will be suitable for popping out to the garage to tinker with bike bits, taking the bins out or whatever.

@rogermoore, that’s just your old Moonraker wardrobe!

This forum needs a "like" function soooo badly.

Nightshirt Drac.

I can certainly see the point of changing into PJs early if you have some physical disability that makes getting changed a lot of effort. Thankfully, slipping on a pair of shorts and a t shirt doesn't yet leave me gasping for breath or reaching for the Naproxen.

I’m sure some of you on here are trapped in the 1950’s

I agree. Who gives a toss what you wear in your own house?

In from work, grubby trousers off and into the Ronhills - for , er, physio and stretching 😎
I'll get a loved one to buy me pyjamas if, and when I get hospitalised.

TJ relaxing at home with friend discussing the louchness of youth and their De Nimes affectations

My clothes are pretty comfy so I just don’t see the sense in wearing anything else around the house. Jeans and a T-shirt generally from getting up to going to bed. Have never owned pyjamas except maybe in infant hood!
Wife will change into pyjama type stuff for lounging around at every opportunity though

I do wear pyjamas to bed, but I am out of them within fifteen minutes of waking up and put them on within five minutes of going back to bed. I have some self respect.

My wife comes home and changes into house clothes- some summer trousers with an elasticated waist, a long sleeve t shirt and a disgusting wooly jumper that looks like it's been pulled out of a pond.

I don't get the need to wear special clothes round the house, especially tracky bottoms (I've never owned a set- I don't tend to feel like stealing anything from the back of a lorry so they don't suit my style). I just wear my normal clothes.

Never owned pyjamas as an adult nor a dressing gown but i'll admit to only owning three pairs of trousers/bottoms. Showers pass track pants which i pretty much live in, north face sweat pants and urban armour sweat pants. I don't own any other trousers at all (i used to but gave them to charity shop last year) but then again i do have secondary progressive MS so whatever i wear these days has to be easy for me to get on and easy to get off whilst being as comfortable as possible. I figure i can get away with my 3 choices of leg wear these days, only got 4 or 5 tops i wear along with 3 pairs of trainers - my entire wardrobe could fit in a small rucksack.😀

Keep it simple is my philosophy these days and if anyone objects despite my explanation (like they did in a restaurant last month) then they get told to **** right off, wear whatever you want whenever you like as what others think is immaterial

Some Singletrack forumites, pictured yesterday...

🤣

When not working I’ll wear jeans (😱apparently my first faux pas) during the day, then after the kids are in bed and the evening jobs are done I’ll usually change into jogger type bottoms, as they are comfier for snuggling on the sofa for the evening. Then naked for bed, obvs 🙄. Other half has the same sort of routine, including nakedness, pleasingly; which in my (admittedly fairly limited) experience, is quite unusual for women, I’ve found.

I know your type though. I bet you have a dozen rucksacks of various sizes!  🙂

Since being made redundant I get up around 11am, change into lounge pants and earn my job seekers allowance watching a range of day time TV shows. Around 5pm I get changed into an untucked short, selvedge denim* and some Vans ready to blend in at the local Weatherspoons, where I spend my JSA on happy hours bargain drinks. It's a tough life, but someone has to be prepared to put the hard graft in.

* belt under the leather patch so everyone can see the make.

Is any topic safe from the try hards?

I only do so called "comfy" clothes, pyjamas and their ilk, when feeling poorly. Not a fan of sofas much either.

I own lounge pants, and I pair them with a cashmere jumper (I have several house cashmeres for this purpose) then if I’m feeling really loungey, a robe on top.

DIGAF if this makes me less of a man? No I do not!

I either run home, or walk the long way round, so after a shower as above, I’m not going to get dressed again.

Not a fan of sofas much either

You should see my new one, it’s a beaut.

scotroutes : Ha-ha 😄, yeah so true, I used to have loads n’ loads of nice kit n’ things but over the past 3 years as things have went downhill I’ve pared my life down to the bare minimum (Got rid of all my shit basically) and it’s a relief. Only big stuff left is my mk2 golf 16v and all tools/mechanical stuff up the workshop left, an old mate is coming to look at that tmorn then my entire worldly goods could fit in a vw caddy.

Not a fan of sofas much either.

I guess it depends on who you’re looking at sitting on the sofa with...

You should not own PJs past 11 years old. Pants, preferable boxers so your balls hang out when seated is the maximum for nightwear. You may wear a t-shirt if admitted to hospital or you live on Svalbard.

You can wear this at any time of the day in your own home and for putting the bins out/ getting something from your car etc.

Ffs what do you people wear on a lazy Sunday morning brunch and coffee marathon? Don’t tell me you get dressed for that! Weirdos

My gf keeps going on about wanting me in pyjamas. Luckily I have some self-respect left so have declined thus fa

Apparently the image of a man in stylish loungewear is irresistible to some

TJ later tonight. 🙂

Bobo has a good take on lounge wear for MTB couples...

Where did you steal my picture from slowhaggis?

In your own house do what you please. Maybe dress up a bit if you have guests though.

In the supermarket never.

Emphatically not a PJs kind of person I tend to stick with normal clothes until bedtime but each to their own. EXCEPT night shirts - only permissible if you are expecting to be visited by three spirits and the ghost of your former business partner imo.

Where did you steal my picture from slowhaggis?

Spy-cam in your house?

I work from home too so tend to wear lounge wear until I go to the gym at lunchtime. Then it's shorts.
Feels weird wearing long trousers now.

Any time of the day if I’m not leaving the house!
I have some delightfully comfortable, black track pants ( which I bought for hernia surgery recovery, honest guv) . Missus J tuts every time I wear them. Which is often.I’m wearing a pair now. 🙂
I don’t own pjs and I don’t get dressing gowns ,unless maybe for a swinging party. 😉

Not sure I know what "loungewear" is.

I assume "track pants" are what we used to call jogging bottoms? The sort of things you can't wear commando without putting everyone off their Sunday lunch.

Yes, if I'm lounging.

I have some George at Asda tartan flannel pyjamas that I wear the bottoms only from, and then for best I have some from Hollister (my only Hollister item FWIW) with Christmas trees on. Coupled with a plain cotton T (L/S sleeved depending on season) and maybe a hoody if proper cold.

Why wouldn't you want to opt for comfort when lounging?

For bed - naked feels good, but as a concession since the wife read about poo crumbs on Mumsnet a pair of pyjama bottoms or shorts is mandated. Not mine I must add....but once the idea was generated she wasn't to be swayed. Usually topless though, unless it's proper cold.

Lounge wear in the evening for me, by the time I’ve got home from work and exercised it’s 7:30pm so it’ll be into a pair of PJ bottoms and a t-shirt, I won’t wear them during the day though.
Sleeping is naked of course.

poo crumbs

WTF are poo crumbs 💩💩

Don't own PJs, trackies, joggers or a dressing gown. When I get changed after work (school) it's ironically usually into workwear trousers/shorts (Dickies, etc.) and a t-shirt.

https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1816445-To-be-sick-of-DPs-poo-crumbs

Wow, that thread is an education! I have never heard of them let alone seen one😂

 

Not sure I know what “loungewear” is.

it’s the sort of thing women answer the door in if you’re a window cleaner or a Millikan or Benny Hill

For bed – naked feels good, but as a concession since the wife read about poo crumbs on Mumsnet

Shower before bed then, I've always showered at night, never before work in the morning, unless I've been for a run or cycled to work.

Tight decathlon running boxers only in bed, Id be too hot wearing any more.

WTF are poo crumbs

they’re the reason I wear bicycle clips with my flannel pyjamas when lounging.

Lord have mercy, you lot are strange!

Pyjamas and or lounge wear are entirely acceptable if you're not going out or having visitors over, who gives a crap about what you wear in your own home?

Another who had to get PJ's for hospital. I aquired a few pairs when I was in for over 6 weeks.

Gentleman's nightshirts are the way to go for bed for me but I only put them on immediately prior to retiring for the night.Lovely brushed 100% cotton with fectching blue and white stripes .As soon as I'm up then it's lounge pants,a t shirt and a range of hoodless hoodies/tracksuit tops.If I'm leaving the house then of course I get changed as appropriate to my activity but as soon as I get home for the day/night it's back to my comfy lounge wear which actually would look fine out of the house.

TBH, I wasn't even aware that "loungewear" was a thing. Surely that's just more stuff you need to accumulate as opposed to just wearing some of your normal clothes.

Unless we are going out, we always wear our "comfies" around the house.
ETTO of course but when doing my college work, watching TV or practising on my (music) keyboard I wouldn't dream of wearing a pair of jeans and a polo shirt. I'm currently wearing a pair of Matalan lounge pants and a Mr. Bump T-shirt.

And...slippers.

or bed – naked feels good, but as a concession since the wife read about poo crumbs on Mumsnet a pair of pyjama bottoms or shorts is mandated.

Poo crumbs, or shit swarf as I call it is the debris field left around the bumhole / biffin's bridge. Could I suggest prevention is better than cure. Rather than wearing boxers / knickers to contain the debris, maybe shower / bathe to remove it.
Just a thought like.

So some of you won’t wear comfortable clothes in the comfort of your own home because reasons. Yet others are incapable of cleaning their own arse to an adequate standard and therefore have to wear clothing in bed in order to contain poo crumbs.

This place is the gift that keeps on giving. WTF is wrong with some of you?

I'm in with the 'nope, I still have some self respect' commenters.

Don't wear PJs, wouldn't be seen dead in jogging bottoms or 'lounge pants'. I work in jeans and a shirt, the short might get switched for a t-shirt when I get in from work but otherwise I'm in the same kit until I go to bed. Why the **** would I go through another set of clothes?

My vocabulary is increasing exponentially this week.

First "lounge pants" and now "poo crumbs".

I'm still coming round to the concept of uncomfortable clothes. Bear with me.

Sit on a grubby seat on a train for two hours where 10,000 arses have sat before wearing god knows what then sit on my sofa in the same trousers? No thanks.The "outdoor" clothes are going in the wash anyway so throw on the lounge wear-which is rotated and washed every other day anyway.

If I’m in the house I’m in my jammy b’s. Many years ago I learned that it is an almost peculiarly British thing to wear your “outdoor” clothes around the house. It is far more comfortable to lounge in loose flannel trousers than in jeans.

other British oddities, loo in the bathroom and washing machine in the kitchen.

Hold on, they're not my poo crumbs. She read about poo crumbs in general and as a result I now am forced to wear shorts in bed. I protested that my ring is crumb free but once she's get an idea about something there's no reasoning.

I don’t care what any of you think 😉

3pm in my house, well as long as we’re not expecting company / going out again.

Mrs started it, she used to finish the early shift about 14:30, she’d be tired and have no intention of doing anything else, and wasn’t about to spend hours in her inform.

We have a few exceptions:

Xmas Day, I don’t dress all day, I don’t care who’s coming it lounge wear all day.

Picking up eldest from parties at night. Yep, I’m that parent in the car in his PJs

Can confirm, he looks comfortable.

My vocabulary is increasing exponentially this week.

First “lounge pants” and now “poo crumbs”.

An old friend always used the term 'bum crumbs'. I think it's far nicer a term than poo crumbs, plus sometimes bum crumbs can simply be lint from clothing, such as you find in your pockets. Poo crumbs is too specific imho.

There are often a few bits of bum lint floating off down the plughole round our way.

Sit on a grubby seat on a train for two hours where 10,000 arses have sat before wearing god knows what then sit on my sofa in the same trousers?

But all of us are literally breathing in Mozart's fart in every breath or something. I wouldn't worry about train seats.

Lord have mercy, you lot are strange!

Fortunately, the regulars of STW are a infinitesimally small proportion of the human race and even less of those who ride bikes

However, my favourite threads on here are those relating to clothing and personal fashion, just gotta love a bunch of 40, 50 and 60 somethings getting all street and down with the latest clothing trends, do’s and don’t 🤣

No mention of winnets, dangle berries, clag nuts? Am disappointed..

I’m still coming round to the concept of uncomfortable clothes. Bear with me.

You don’t wear lounge pants therefore your normal clothes only seem comfortable as you have nothing to compare them against. Untold levels of comfort await you if you’ll just take the first step 😉

For bed – naked feels good, but as a concession since the wife read about poo crumbs on Mumsnet a pair of pyjama bottoms or shorts is mandated. Not mine I must add….

Whose are you wearing then? Your wife's?

I wear a tee shirt and loose comfy trousers or shorts around the house, there’s no way I’m going to come home from work and not change into clean gear. The only time I’ve dossed around the house in jammy bottoms and a dressing gown was when I’ve been off work ill.

I have a shower once I get home from work (fabricator so get fairly minging), then usually changed into joggy shorts and a t. I just sleep in a my grundykes, no PJ's.

Picking up eldest from parties at night. Yep, I’m that parent in the car in his PJs

I checked this out with my 14yr old daughter who confirmed my thinking, you doing that basically places you in the same category as being an actual kiddy fiddler.

Shorts.
Lounge pants.
Joggers.
Big t shirt.

That's my home attire.

Never ever wear pjs in bed. Have not since aged 8.

My house joggers are known as my "traditionals" my wife tried to bin my last pair after a few years but I stood firm.
