Pajamas in public

Admit it: You gone to the grocery store in your PJs.

He witnessed nothing less than a paradigm shift in Americans concept of appropriate clothing over the past 10 years on Not to Wear, as he helped 600 fashion victims learn to put their best face (and well dressed self) forward.

But the allure of pajamas, yoga pants and track suits is strong.

are continuing, as a culture, on this downward spiral of style, Kelly said, think that there will always be a group of people, a strong percentage of the population, who will care about their appearance. But now we have permission not to care. changed? He said it that people no longer face the same social pressures they would have centuries ago, or even a couple decades ago.

That social pressure, the unwritten rules about how someone should or should not dress, has always existed, said Susan Kaiser, a University of California, Davis, professor in textiles and clothing, and women and gender studies.

When something doesn look quite right, then we notice that. knowledge is called a social norm, she said, and the norms surrounding fashion incorporate the function of clothing as well as the cultural attitudes of the day.

a pretty Puritanic kind of country, Kaiser said. has influenced our clothing a lot. a result, American social norms have always boiled down to modesty, she said. Colonists hardly showed any skin or even hair in public, an aspect of American dress that didn change much until the 1900s.

The notion of privacy has been intertwined with ideas of modesty since Colonial days as well, said Karen Herbaugh, the curator of the American Textile History Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts.

While performing chores around the house or going to the market, definitely would not have been wearing clothing that would have been considered private, Herbaugh said. would have been wearing all the proper layers of clothing. Colonial times, that meant women would wear a chemise, a corset, a corset cover, a bodice, multiple layers of petticoats and then a dress, Herbaugh explained.

Barely more formal than a robe, this precursor to the housecoat allowed women the opportunity to be in a semipublic situation without having to wear all the bustles and petticoats that public dress usually required. Men had their own version of wrappers as well, she said.

Still, it a far cry from the pajama clad parents Herbaugh sees dropping children off at school.

That boundary of public and private dress has moved from the house into the neighborhood, Kelly said. We no longer seek clues about appropriate dress from our community. These days, we look to celebrities, he said.

think that one photograph of one celebrity wearing something (inappropriate) can validate someone, he said. they will leave the house wearing the same thing. Cameron Diaz was photographed wearing Ugg boots, no one would have considered wearing them in public, he said.

The cult of comfort is not only determined by stylish starlets, said Kaiser, the textiles professor. Clothing experienced a revolution in the 1960s, thanks to textiles such as polyester, rayon and spandex, as well as mass production technology.

Gernreich, the famous designer in the known for designing the one piece topless bathing suit, was also known for doing a lot of knits, she said. predicted that we would all be wearing, like, knit dancewear by now. And I think he kind of right.

very easy in this country to do two things, he said. overeat. Two: wear really comfortable clothes. The problem is, when you combine both of those things you get caught in a spiral. portions of cheap, overly processed foods keep us wearing stretchy, knit clothes that makes it easier to eat more large, overprocessed portions.

Wearing pajamas is not cute at all to me. They don even look cute. Some people tend to wear them all day everyday up and down the street The pajamas most people have on look dirty and unkept. I can see if its an emergency or you have to go somewhere right away and you have to leave your house looking unkept, but to wear them to the store, gas station, etc. willingly is ridiculous and looks nasty. It shows a lack of respect for other people eyes as well, everybody do not UGG 5803 Bailey Button want to see you in your pajamas looking dirty. It also shows a lack of respect for yourself and shows laziness; not willing to bother to bathe and put on clean clothes; just getting straight up from bed and going outside looking a mess.

After a while I decided it more important to go to first floor to check the mail, pick up bread, stop at the office etc. on time wearing pajama pants than to not do so at all. (We all in this public housing building because we supposed to be disabled or elderly anyways.) I also decided getting exercise outside with less than perfect hair and an outfit that ugly to me is more important than worrying about what others think and not getting the exercise I need to help keep me from being a threat to myself and being unproductive and farther away from supporting myself. I would take better care of my image if I had the mental and physical energy of the average person. Two years ago I personally rebelled against the mindless image worship of this world by ceasing to wear makeup for GOD ( I still don wear it.) I don care what others are wearing as long as they covering themselves and aren wearing a thousand dollar outfit, profanity, anti Christ symbols etc.
