I understand the need to be comfy sometimes (most of the time!) But is it so hard to get nice flared knit cotton yoga pants and a properly fitting knit tee shirt? That's what I wear when I need to be out but have to be super comfy.
Wearing balloony clown pants or pjs with cartoons or crazy prints with a sleep shirt and slippers is just ugh. I respect others rights to do as they please, and I am also entitled to my personal opinion. I feel that dressing that way shows no respect for oneself.
By the way, I don't think it is any big deal for those who needed to just jump in the car and take kids to school, or go out to the mailbox, etc. I am talking about those who roll out of bed and do NOTHING to groom themselves and then run errands like shopping, the doctor, bank, etc.
Yoga pants are literally skin tight.
Balloony pants are not skin tight.
Most people who wear yoga pants ...should not. Balloony pants would be a much better sight.

LOL! That is how I feel about dressing in yoga pants (except when you are actually practicing yoga, that is!).
I would much rather see loose than stretched to the max....
Plus you don't get to see the color of panties in looser pants, as you often do with yoga pants.
The bedroom slippers can and are a hazard if these people decide to drive. An employee at the Home Depot near my house got run over in the parking lot by some lady whose bedroom slipper 'slipped' and caused her to hit the gas rather than the brake (well, that's what she told the cops). She broke his arm. I hope there are proper footwear regulations for driving, just to stop fools like that from causing situations like that where an innocent bystander is forced to miss work because of someone else's poor life choices.
I dunno, I think people who wear such things just to get the mail or taking the dog out to poop are forgivable, since they're not planning on staying outside for any length of time. What I can't get past are people who purposely leave their homes to shop, to visit a coffee shop or a burger joint, or just to do their usual errands while wearing pajamas, bunny slippers, etc. as if everything is normal. It's two different things to me.
I don't really ever do it myself but I don't have a problem with people wearing PJ pants in public.
As long as nothing is hanging out, I don't see how it really matters.I've seen people out in public in bathrobes as well, which is borderline ridiculous IMHO but whatever.
I've asked my son and some his friends about it since I've only mainly seen college kids do it on campus at one point. They said anything from running late for class to lazy to needing to do the laundry to a long road trip home. Most of it is fairly reasonable for the "poor college student" experience. Very odd, but I understand the microcosm of college campus life.
I look at it as one of those trends that started in one place for a particular reason that should have stayed and died in that same place. Thankfully, I haven't seen it in a long while.
