Wearing pyjamas in public: Yes or no?
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Wendy Knowler found herself outside a filling station where she witnessed an entire family getting out of their car with pyjamas on. Is putting comfort before style a no-go area?
Jane and Wendy discuss this latest clothing trend and why they feel like it just needs to FALL, TODAY!
What is it with people going out in public in their PJs? I’m not talking about little kids; GROWN-UPS. Just seen a family at my local petrol station, all in their sleepwear - dad in matching flannel top and bottoms, and slippers.

We know that Wendy Knowler is our watchful eye, so when I read this tweet I was intrigued and I'm trying to think about what made this entire family step out together like this? Convenience or were they in a hurry? However, to each their own!

After the tweet, the 'trend' came to my attention and I couldn't quite believe it wasn't a setup. I mean, for me I couldn't think of anything I'd rather not do!
This trend must be getting out of hand as some stores and filling stations have placed signs outside their stores forbidding people from stepping inside in their nightwear.
I can't leave the house not dressed and ready for a positive day. I feel the way you dress and present yourself is an expression of how you are feeling, so to slop around in threads meant for catching zzzz's sends quite a message.

Based on the comments from Wendy's tweet, it would seem this PJ approach is offending people and if so, that's ok, but to ban a person from a shop because of it? I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary.
Should people be allowed to wear PJs in public spaces and if not, should stores have a ban on them doing so? Leave your comments below.
KZN this is what you had to say about the topic in the podcast, let's just say we haven't agreed on the final answer just yet;
Were you in Fish Hoek, it's a regular thing in our village?
