Coming trend? No. Students were wearing PJs to class when I was in college 20 years ago.

The coarsening of American society speeds up.
Jammies in the grocery store, jammies on the plane, etc.
Nothing says: "I've given up" quite like wearing jammies/jogging suits in public places (unless, of course, they are actually jogging - they rarely are).

I drive my daughter to high school. I have seen young girls walking in the front doors in some of the shortest, tightest skirts, short-shorts imaginable. Usually they are wearing a camisole. Flip-flops are mandatory. I can only imagine what the 28 year old male math teacher is treated to as he looks out over his room of half-asleep kids. He must think he’s landed in a VS photo shoot. Huba-Huba!

Everybody breaks their own mirror and looks for someone to hate. Forty years ago the blue jeans “fad” was supposed to be a sign of laziness, subversive behavior, even communism. .Wher you going in those jeans, you need to clean out a barn? Hyuck hyuck hyuck hyuck...”

I’d love it if sweats and fleece were more accepted in public attire. I’ve never understood why so many people are willing to be uncomfortable all day, when we don’t have to be. Why shouldn’t clothes be comfortable? Throttling ties and collars... binding (and practically useless) “sport jackets” (nothing could be worse) and thin slacks that are death if you ever go outside... what a bunch of nonsense. Give me some clothes that keep the wind out, are stretchy and comfortable and warm... I’m there.

I really, really hate “sport coats” or suit jackets. They’re useless. The don’t keep the wind out. The pockets aren’t even usable. They don’t last, you can’t ~move~ in them... piffle. My jackets are made by Carhartt now. A jacket that actually ~works~ like a jacket. Keeps me warm. Keeps he wind out, and has pockets that can actually be used to carry things. And... comfortable.

In my office the tie went away years ago, thankfully. Nowadays we’re pretty much in chinos and polo shirts, or something like it.

Guys, they aren’t wearing the pj’s they SLEPT IN. It’s not like they roll out of bed and out the door.

Jeez.

They are wearing cute (yes, some are really cute) and comfortable ‘pj pants’ as clothes.

Gah, it’s like it’s 1960 around here and I am hearing Grandpa muttering “In MY day we’d have gotten sent home for wearing blue jeans to school!” Or God forbid as when my mother couldn’t wear anything but a dress.

Socialism cult whitewashing for a fad trend.

Make socialism “kewl” so more people will play the herd instinct and will accept socialism out of fear of being “different”.

It depends on how they're tailored.
