Lots of guys and gals change into their jammies when they get home from work - are they down the 'food chain' from those who change into their trackies?
Other posters were drawing relativities between pyjama wearers and trackie wearers, and implying that you are a 'better' person if you wear your trackie instead of your jammies.What has that got to do with people who wear them outside the home, say to the shops or dropping the kids off to school?

I was trying to explore if these posters feel the same relativities apply indoors - are those who wear their trackies at home in the evening considered to be better people than those who wear their jammies? Are those who are wearing their jammies allowed answer the door, or have the neighbours in for a chat while in their night attire?
If I wear loose short pyjama bottoms in summer, am I allowed wear loose shorts outside in summer?

Any such judgements say more about the judger than the pyama-wearing judgee.but you'd be naive to think that people wouldn't judge you (whether they should or shouldn't is a different matter) by your appearance.

The only places I have seen pyjamas worn outside the front door is in Dublin 1 - Buckingham Street & Summerhill, on the way to Croke Park. I believe it unlikely to see someone in Dublin 6W dressed in their pyjamas for the school run, or in a SPAR/CENTRA.
I'm not naieve about how people do indeed rush to judgement, but I think it is important to highlight the flaws in this. The pyjama trend is fairly common among female college students in the US too, so the person that is judged to be a 'skanger' could well be a preppy straight-A student doing her Masters here. The good suit/good shoes thing just shows that the wearer is capable of buying (or borrowing) a good suit and good shoes. Anyone who reads anything more into this is a fool. I've seen well-qualified young adults, male and female, obsess over what socks/tie/watch/shoes to wear to interview, while giving little or no thought to what they are going to say at interview.Perhaps, but people will always make calls on first appearance, it's a natural / instinctive thing to do. If you dress in pj's then that to me is a display of laziness. If you dress in a good quality suit and more importantly wear good shoes, that to me is a display of someone who takes themselves seriously. Of course the former could be some fantastic person who just happens to be sick and urgently needs to pop into the pharmacy for medication and the latter could be a conman, but on the whole / taking averages in account I think it matters

Clothes don't maketh the man (or woman).
If the job was in a sports centre, or a mattress shop, then absolutely. But really, it's a bit of a silly question. Would you hire someone with a lovely suit and shoes who has no idea about the job or organisation?So you would hire someone with straight A's that turned up for an interview in a tracksuit or a pair of pajamas?
