I think its a respect thing for others and themselves.
And yep I've seen PJ's in chruch services already and flatly told my girls NO! all three of them.

When I was a kid I rember having a nightmare that I was in shcool at my desk and suddenly realized I was in my pajamas.

My kids wear pj's to school every day.
We homeschool!
Now if they wore them outside the house, Mommy wouldn't be happy.
If these girls wearing pj's to school would watch "What Not to Wear" on TLC Friday nights at 9:00, they would learn that's a no-no.
The pajama pants actually cover them up more than the jeans with holes in them and the camisole tops many girls are wearing. And they cost less. I don't particularly care for either choice.
Is there an echo in here?

Yoiks.
I wonder what will happen when they graduate and reality hits them between the eyes. If they think they can pull this stuff in the corporate world.... Sigh. Well... there's always McDonald's and Burger King. Oh... they have to wear uniforms. Silly me. :)
That reminds me of the cover of the Dilbert book "Casual Day Has Gone Too Far". I think Dilbert has a robe on with bunny slippers.
I tried to wear what I sleep in to work once. My boss said that if I show up naked again, I'd be out of a job.
Excellent point - I shall point that out to my daughter!
5 or 6 years ? try more like a couple of decades.
"Thank you Boomer parents!"
Don't look now, but a really high percentage of Boomers now have grandchildren in school. Time has passed, you see. Most of the Boomer's kids are out of school now.
"Some days you don't want to get dressed up for school. Like when it's raining and cold. You just want to be cozy," said Ben Lomond High School junior Elvia Escalante, 16.
....to this:
"They may be comfy, but it makes you look trashy and it gives you the idea you can just slack off for the day," said Ben Lomond High School senior Alena Marshall, 18.
Anyone care to guess will one will go to college and which one will be flipping burgers?
The woman in the grocery checkout line last week was wearing a black silk dress. It looked like a slip. The check-out lady, the bagger (a mature adult) and I all thought it was a slip; a nice one, but nevertheless, a slip. Amazing.
I live in the area covered by the story (Northern Utah) and it's really not as bad as it sounds. We're not talking pink satin shorties or negligees here.
Think loose, elastic waist, flannel pants with a plaid, stripe or whimsical pattern. IT's just the bottoms the kids are wearing, with a T-shirt for a top.
I agree, they are sort of sloppy and casual, but there are certainly worse things the girls have been wearing, like the painted-on low-rise jeans with the thong sticking out of the back.
I say find some other issue to get excited about - there are plenty.
Actually I prefer bare legs myself. ;-)
