Wearing Pajamas to Drop DH off at work, are these drop off friendly in your opinion?

[Anonymous]

One car city family and DH works retail so first drop off is his at 5:45 AM. I’ve seen other people drop off his colleagues in pajamas so I bought a pair of “drop off friendly” presentable pajamas as I return home to get dressed before work. I don’t get dressed for work until after I’m back home because I still have to brush the kids teeth, wash them up and make breakfast which 9/10 times something gets on my work clothes.





DH disagrees, he doesn’t own lounge clothing, jeans, or sneakers so his attire is always more formal but I do feel more put together than in my baggy sweats and t-shirts which I had been wearing. I’m briefly walking around the vehicle to switch drivers which is the only time someone would see top and bottom. Most of my lounge wear is mismatched, I don’t have any sets or paired lounge attire.

Why don’t you just drive? Then you don’t have to switch drivers? My DH doesn’t decide what I can wear.

No I would not get out of my car to switch drivers in those pjs you linked. I’d prefer jeans and a hoodie at 5:45. I’d also do match sweats if you care so much about having an outfit. I would not though.

You go girl. I think I would just lean into it and get a fabulous kimono to throw over whatever PJs I wore to bed.

Sorry, but this looks worse than a tshirt and sweats. You would be better off with mismatched sweats and an old shirt than a deliberate pajama set. The former has plausible deniability that you slept in it and rolled out of bed for drop off.

Why do you have to get out of the car? This is stupid

He works in retail but he dresses "more formal"?

Survival come first, before showing off.

Those bottoms seem a little skimpy for car seats and going outside though.

I think a big t-shirt is easier and less boudoir than a button down pajama

Short pajamas are ridiculous to wear in public. Wear neutral long jersey pajama pants and a tee.

Maybe something like this?

I would be embarrassed to go outside in the PJs you linked. They are clearly PJs and belong at home. Just because other people wear them out doesn't make it ok.

Sweats would absolutely look more appropriate than PJs.

What about a travel lounge set or a dress?

I'd wear black leggings / tshirts and sweats you already have instead of shopping for cute ridiculous pajamas when you have one car and someone who works in retail.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely not. And if your kids are old enough to be left home alone while you drive with DH to work they are old enough to get themselves ready for school.

He might have to wear a suit if he works in the men’s suit section of Bloomingdale’s or something.

Another “no” vote. I would not get out of the car in those and I would not even ride in the car in those. Some of the PPs offered good alternatives.

I’m still not sure why you need to have special drop off pajamas. You just get in the driver seat, drive to his job, he opens the passenger door and gets out and you drive back home.
