Public school?? |
When I go past the Jr high bus stop, most of the girls last spring were wearing flannel plaid PJ pants with crocs or chuck taylor high tops and crop tops. At the pool this summer, they all wear those Lululemon HottyHot shorts. |
DD's school sells pajama pants with the school logo and so do all of the girls teams |
| No way to the PJ pants. Just wear sweat pants. |
FOR SLEEPING |
no. |
| I'm not sure I understand the outrage over PJ pants used as regular pants. My kids wear sweats to bed - should they also not wear those out? |
Why don’t you guys just send your kids to school on their pajamas every day then? No point of changing into anything else! |
The pajama pants aren't actually pajama pants though. My DD has two pairs, both branded (one from a summer camp, one from a vacation destination). She has never worn them to sleep in. They are just flannel pants -- if they were a solid color no one would even identify them as PJ pants. Back in the early 90s, girls at my college -- mostly the prep school kids -- were wearing these to class and kids in my suburban NoVa high school were wearing all kinds of ridiculous things to school that we all now laugh about, so it's not like Rome is now falling. |
This. |
Interestingly, I think both teen/tween girls and their mothers are the main consumers of Lululemon. I go to a very trendy boutique fitness studio (and feel a little out of place at 45), and all the 20-30 somethings are in Alo. It's a real shift that seemed to happen sometime during the pandemic. |

Yep. My 18 and 20 year old daughters wear alo. Lululemon was their thing when they were younger. |
| middle school mom here: if your daughter wants to wear dresses, just style them well: add a cropped cardigan, high top sneakers, funky necklace or belts. H&M might be a good source (but def steer away from dresses with unicorns or kittens until she's ready to wear them ironically...) |
Every teen wearing the same shorts make them look like they are wearing uniforms. That’s reason enough to look around and see what else is out there. Sportswear popular brands collaborate with designers that make unique collections. Adidas by Stella McCartney is one example. I just recommended for her to look around and see what she likes in these stores. |
