Pajamas in Public: Illegal? Or the Latest Fashion Trend
Just last week we were slapped with the strange news that the state of Louisiana wants to ban wearing pajamas in public, meaning that any “garment sold in the sleepwear section of department stores” would not be allowed in public places. But nearly as soon as we saw the trend of wearing bedroom attire in public get flack, we see it come full circle as one of the most recent fashion trends.
In fact, Shopbop.com has highlighted the trend as one of its hottest, choosing a conglomeration of pajama-ish items to wear as clothing. From draped pocket trousers (a fancy word for pajama pants, so it seems), to long-sleeve blouses that remind us of pajamas from the past, they've got an entire section dedicated to rocking the trend.
But is this latest look here to stay, or just a comfy, cozy excuse to dress down? Either way, we’re down for more pajama parties in 2012. That is, if its still legal.
Tell us: Would you wear pajamas in public?
You shouldn't assume that it means the person is living off food stamps or wants to disrespect you. I actually just finished my master's degree and am employed as an educational psychologist but on the weekends I have been known to wear my pajama pants to Kroger and grab some milk or cereal or whatever else is on my list...
I do not dress casually at work and I do not live off of the tax payer's dime. If it bothers you then don't wear your pajamas in public. As long as what they are wearing is not indecently exposing their bodies you should be able to deal with it without having a major melt down.
It is not the government's place (or my neighbor's place) to tell me I can't wear something because it makes me look "lazy". Maybe if I'm naked or at work... otherwise mind your own business.
