WTF? Girls wearing pyjamas in shopping centres?

flanzer

Did I miss something here? Is this the latest fashion trend? Did we adopt this trend from our American friends of something?

A few weeks ago I was shopping in Tescos in Clare Hall on the Malahide Rd. and spotted 4 girls shopping in what looked like their pyjamas but wearing a jacket on top. Then on Tuesday night I went shopping again in the same store and spotted 3 different girls buying a load of drink at the checkout dressed in a similar attire (this time wearing slippers also!) Then when driving home I spotted 2 girls walking in what wouldn't be a 'good area' wearing similar night wear!!

Is this only happening at this shopping center or has this been seen elsewhere?

With Winter fast approaching, I'm worried for these people!!! :eek:

Ph3n0m

nope its everywhere and it ****ing ridiculous

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Havnt seen it myself but have spent feck all time in town recently, but i know there was a simular thread a few months ago so at least you're not the only person who's noticed it!

Haven't spotted it myself but a younger friend of my girlfriend used to - probably still does - buy lingerie in shops, and then wear it out to clubs - with nothing else over the underwear.

At least they're wearing PJs. If I went to the shop in my sleeping attire, Id be arrested on a regular basis.
I dont think its purely a shopping centre thing either, I've seen girls walking up the busy main road outside the office wearing pyjamas. Winnie the Pooh seems to be popular. I wonder where they're going?

Were they getting fresh supplies for their slumber party?

Mrs_Doyle

Ah it is not a new thing.
It was a big 'Townie' thing for a while there, and now it has spread to all sorts of 'colourful' area's.

It is almost like they are carrying a neon sign, and as soon as they catch someone sneaking a glimpse of their neon sign, they have a God given right to say something along the lines of...

"What the fcuk are you bleeding looking at? Ye stuuuupid stuck up Baaaaaaastard ye!"


Cos, like, their bleedin mad yokes, ye know? They don't give a fcuk... cos they can do wha they bleedin want!

Yep please do tell............

I've seen people in small local stores in their pyjamas (and have been tempted to do the same myself out of laziness), but never groups of them in busy areas.

I was there at that time too and saw them!

Me and my brother were out doing a bit of shopping. You may have spotted me as I of course was in my favourite jocks, housecoat and thick socks... people were staring but I didn't care, sure I only live around the corner like and I'm not arsed getting dressed just to go round and pick up some fags and 12 Dutch Gold! Why would I be like?!?!

One good thing about only going around in my bed time attire is that no one causes trouble with you - I mean, who's really gonna start a fight with a guy in his jocks and a housecoat... he could be crazy like!!

In all seriousness though, does the corpo not hand out the clothing allowances anymore?

me and the biz

ha saw a woman the other day wearing pjs alright, thought it was very strange

emeraldstar

yeah ive started to notice this lately too. There's a Spar beside my apartment and so many times I've seen girls go in and out of there in their pjs..normally coupled with Ugg boots. It's weird.

fifib

must admit im at my utmost happiest when im in my pjs at home or anyone else's home for that matter, im like a pig in s*** as they say (even when drinking..i love it ..its so comfy) but wearing them in the street is crazy. my local shop is just across the road n i even dress for that...n i mean putting clothes on over my pjs cos i cant be bothered takn them off!! but im still in proper clothes, no1 knows whats underneath!

trilo

hmmm pj's, so nice. I freely go places in my pj's, driving the other half demented in the meantime, by doing so.
1) Walking the mutt around the estate.
2) Popping down to the shops.
3) Collecting himself from the pub.
4) Visiting a friend.

Anytimes really im in my pj's and couldnt be arsed getting out of them.

I have to say I think it's really sad (in a sincere way) and patethic that these people can't be arsed to put some clothes on before they go out. I do believe it is people of a 'certain mentality' that would go to the shop in their PJ's.

I noticed it first around Talbot Street when I used to catch the train on the way home.

Nah, scumbags! The kind who think that doing it in a bus shelter is using protection.

My brother was telling me about this almost a year ago. He used to rent in a 'less well off/deprived' part of North Dublin City and because he was working from home back then he used to see it quite a lot.

It's some sort of 'statement' I believe.

I've only ever seen hoopy-earringed scangers wearing pyjamas in public so far.

Flannel? satin?

Fulll-length or cut-off?

Details! Inquiring minds need to know, and all that....

I'm asking becuse I've seen some stuff where the distinction between "fashion" and "nightwear" is vanishingly small.....but also some stuff that would be undeniably PJs.

This is nothing new to those of us living in or around Dublin's inner city.
Bleedin' rapid fashion, wha'!

I have to say pjs look a lot better than some of the horrific 'knack-suits' you see, especially the shiny ones.

This is not a new phenomenon.

I used to work in a Electrical Retailer just down the road from the Clare Hall Tescos. Six or seven years ago.

We used to get this type of 'fashionista' in all the time.

At all times of the night and day.

I agree, it is 'skanger-ey'.

Mo thóin. Buggy-pushers.

They've been doing it on the Alfie Byrne road for at least the past 4 years. There, and at the Connolly end of Talbot St. is where you'll always see it. It's far from new.

It's usually flannel PJs with runners and puffy jackets. Not to be confused with the Ugg-and-tracksuited upper-middle classes. Someone really ought to tell those girls that thong make their asses look saggy in those pants, by the way.

They obviously need to be put to sleep.

Cotton trousers with paisley/Winnie the Pooh patterns and matching top. Something like what's in this image but the girls are completely the opposite looks wise!

popebenny16

Yep, i see it a lot more nowadays, used to be common to see mothers runing the kids down to the school dressed like that now they seem to be wandering around in the middle of the afternoon. Always girls, for some reason, never see a lad out (that's going to get quoted) in pj's or dressing gown and slippers.

Yep, take the clothing in the image and imagine a 'Vicky Pollard' type wearing it

Yeah wouldn't be so bad if they all looked like that...........

Its particularly bad when they have "Sexy" or "Sweetcheeks" emblazoned across their arsecheeks. Blatant cases of false advertising.

Pighead has, on more than one occasion, squeezed the arses of these false advertisers, only to find himself face to face with the creature from the black lagoon, but with worse teeth.

Like shopkeepers who have to be responsible by not selling cigarettes or alcohol to minors, clothes stores also have a responsibility not to sell sexy clothes to heffalumps.

Too right Pighead, listen next time you see it, do give the lass a good talking to.
You can hear the girls in pajamas before you see them with the flip flops as well *clip, clop, clip, clop*

hmm then i wonder what kind of mentality it is that i have..hmmm YES IM CRAZY..thats it...yay!:eek: :eek:

I've seen evern mamies do this as well... so it ain't just "skangerie". perhaps yes laziness.

Actually there wans yer talking about, i know them, well no i've seen them... yes skangers!!!!

snickerpuss

Yeah i see this alot in East Wall and up by Amiens Street, i mean if you're bothered enough to put your jacket on you may as well splash out and stick on your pants...

koneko

I thought I saw people in PJs before but I just thought they were either lazy or insane, or wearing clothing that just looked like PJs.

I'm not sure if it being a fashion thing is better or worse though. Probably worse. I think someone thinks up these fashion fads as a joke, to see how many people will go along with it.

Indeedy, I'm sure some proper trousers would be a lot warmer too lol.

NextSteps

What I wonder is, do they get dressed into the pyjamas (get up, wash, put on your daytime pyjamas) or are they the pyjamas they sleep in too?

Are they sunday best pyjamas?

Do they have house pyjamas and going out pyjamas?

What about pyjamas for special occasions?

Rb

They're just knackers/skangers. Nothing worth giving a moments attention to.
Have only seen a few when driving around town and each of them were skangers. I may be tarring them all with the same brush, but I'm happy to do so in this case.

Feral Mutant

I wish I didn't care what people thought so I could do that, it'd be so much easier.

A few years ago, '02 I think, I was in CTYI(summer camp) and we were going off on a bus to spend a day in Wexford (I don't know why). Some american guy slept in and had to dash down to the bus in his pyjamas. The RAs gave him a few minutes to run back to his room to get dressed and he did . . . only to run back a few minutes later still in his pyjamas because he didn't have his key on him. They made him go anyway (couldn't leave him there alone). So he spent his day in Wexford in his pyjamas with no money (lack of pockets so no wallet). Eventually his friends bought him some pants though.

I am also bewildered by girls in pj bottoms out in public. Its a regular occurance on O'Connell St, Amien St, around Conolly Station. They seem well capable of wearing jackets though and shoes not to mention dangerously big gold hoop earrings. So why bother leaving on the pj's?

They ARE super comfortable but if I can manage to shed them in the morning when i get out of bed along with the majority of the population and put on clothes then why cant they?

Slightly off topic now, speaking of Ugg boots, why are the thousands of girls who wear them every day around Dublin (especially around the Leeson St, roysh, area) incapable of lifting their feet when they walk in them?! Instead they DRAG them along, walking sideways on them all looking like silly mirror images of each other. Irritating.

trilo

These girls in their ugg boats and pj's are just cool. Doesn't anyone know that!:p

Havok has yet to post where these clubs are ..

I'm half tempted to buy some pj's so I could walk around in them and be one of the cool kids.

Sleepy

Simple solution to this: just ban pyjamas.

A friend of mine used to do the buy underwear as nightclub gear as well... Funny thing was that most people had no idea her corsets weren't meant to be outer-wear.

No boardsies have fessed up yet.

C'mon. Out with it. We know yer lerkin'

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

you people really need other things to worry about.

phantom_lord

I think they just look silly.

have you ever seen how long it takes us woman to get dressed, its not like we can just throw on jeans and a t shirt.
it is a lenghtly procedure . so sometimes its just too much of a bother.
sometimes we would be fed up with men passing comments cause we made the effort to look good and now they are yelling abuse or else sometimes you get fed up with being told to hurry up, while trying to get all dressed up.

so yeah we do it all the time .. sunday mornings are the worst , we just could not be bothered. and most cases the girls that do it already have a fella so ..
i guess youl have to look away

and what with you lads not shaving anymore ?
answer that ? you walk around and us girls are proper shocked!!

Killaqueen!!!

its not cos they're knackers and it's not fashion...just laziness!

I'm a hospital worker, and often work 24 hour shifts. I can sleep while not working, but when I'm called at 4 in the morning, the last think I want to do is get into my uniform, so I bought myself a pair of navy pyjamas which I leave on and just throw a sweatshirt over. The nurses used to notice and have a good laugh, but none of my patients ever did!
Well, I know it's not a shopping centre or relevant to this thread!
