Practically, if you go outside, PJ's aren't the right clothing. They're not durable almost at all and soak up filth very easily (at least filth that wets on to the fabric). If you're wearing PJs outside, you're not going anywhere dirty and it better be a clear day!
Agreed. Pajamas are great if you're laying in a soft bed or lounging around indoors. If you're hiking or doing anything really physical, you'll be a lot more uncomfortable than if you had dressed appropriately.
We had a "cold wave" here in UK a few weeks ago, the temperature dropped below zero C° for a while. Even I, nordic and with good understanding of dressing for the weather struggled to keep warm. I saw a woman in the tube wearing one of those fluffy fleece pajamas with Paddington bear pattern and thought: actually not a bad idea!
Baggy trousers + sweatpants
A thermal union suit is an amazing base layer and you can wear it under more flattering clothes
PJs are warm, but not durable and not weather resistant. They'd be a terrible idea anywhere you actually need protection from anything except a cold.
Hopefully the subways aren't that bad, but I've heard some stories... Not sure I'd want PJs being my barrier of choice.
Don't worry, the germs can't survive in the underground. It's too toxic.
I know, I had to turn on the central heating.
Yeah but you can mostly say the same of a business suit.
A bit of water and a cloth can clean up a suit (good quality) enough that it won’t show up.
Try to wipe anything off fleece.
Pyjamas are for everyone and of different types from where they come from
i have to go outside?
Unless you're going to Walmart.
In the UK we have Asda and it's literally UK Walmart, and everyone dresses exactly the same way there as well.
