Lol.... Love it!!! But definitely not for work..... Maybe if I was 25 hrs younger and had the figure I had back then.... Maybe?????? Love that you wrote an article on this Peter.... I was wondering the same question when I saw them on the SS 12 catwalks...... How many people could actually pull that off successfully ????<br />I would love to be able to afford to saunter around the house in designer PJs...I think they could make you feel glamerous .... At ... Home......:) But seriously how many of us could even afford 1 pair for that ..never mind seven pairs..... However..... perhaps it gives us something new to make for house clothes...... Just use gorgeous fabrics.......and simple easy to wear patterns....<br />Would be great for a little hospital stay I guess??? And lovely for cruising on a boat... Great sun protection while being cool and comfy...:) But definitely NOT to the office.......:) wouldn't be able to tell me apart from the patients...lol!!!! Thanks for the great post.... Something we were all wondering I think...... :)Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316820479573998811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-68283743559929283562011-12-05T10:26:05.535-05:002011-12-05T10:26:05.535-05:00Finally, a true "yea"!Finally, a true "yea"!Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-55652612532708510862011-12-05T06:41:44.849-05:002011-12-05T06:41:44.849-05:00If its smart plaid pajamas pants I wont mind weari...If its smart plaid pajamas pants I wont mind wearing outside the home.

The seams split, especially the crotch seam, and the soft fabrics absorb lots of visible dirt, and rip easily when caught in other people's shoes. Then there are job interviews, and the slow dawning of the idea that their personal image affects how other people judge them. So it's still popular for first-years but the seniors not so much. In the meantime they don't care if the rest of us are grossed out.

Loud print cotton trousers used to be a trademark of european backpackers and a lot of loose summer trousers are quite pyjama-like. However, actual pyjamas, that's a trend I hate!

Depends on where one works, of course. I don't think the seersucker pj's should be worn outside, Peter. No, no, no. <br />But I had a pair of my grandmother's China-blue silk Chinese pj's, trimmed and embroidered in yellow silk, when I was about 12.
